Do a search in this forum and you'll find quite a lengthy discussion on the megashifter that will address a lot of questions.

As far as electrical....thats not to bad.I only hooked up the backup lights.But you still have the park/nuetrul switch to mess with. I have,at home, the colors of these wires,when I get home I will email them to you.
It is a easy thing to do.just becarefull when cutting the trim plate.Use a dremal tool.Or something of that nature.We used a jig saw(only thing I had to cut with)needless to say I broke the damn thing.

I took a bunch of plastic baggies, and went through the instructions. When a step called for parts, I put the parts in the baggie, lableled the bag with the step #, and highlighted the "STEP #" in the instructions. It saved me some confusion (and lost parts)...

Oh and pul-ease spend a long time adjusting the shift linkage at the transmission end.. make sure you have the right hole in the lever, adjust the swivel properly, etc...
