Mine is a SLT little mod I did was put a 140 MPH police face on my OE cluster. I like it way better than the stock and you get the little tick marks between speeds so you actually know if you are say 72 or 73.

Based off of the wiring diagrams for it all you need to do is swap the cluster and replace the plug. Programming could be kinda finicky to get it nailed down so you do not have odd ball warnings for this and that. But I haven't ever got to actually pull one of these clusters and compare them side by side.

Electrically the truck talks to the escalade cluster the same way it does the standard clusters but the esky uses a different plug.
