C6 is vacuum modulated, no VSS/speedo required.

Gonna need the VSS operating with an electrically controlled Trans. Just curious, if it's an E-cab and was a Winnebago, isn't the back of the cab open?

No, the PCM (powertrain control module) needs the reference from the VSS, not the speedo. Might be easier to use a C6, carb and DSII dist. rather than all the wiring you'll have to do, unless you have a similar year truck you're putting everything into.

The PCM for the E4OD trans needs a road speed signal from the PSOM. The PSOM gets it's axle speed signal from the VSS, and converts that to road speed for the PCM.
