Default 2004 Gauge cluster wiring for ls swap

Hey guys I just helped a customer complete a 2013 6.2/6l80e swap with the e38 ecu and harness into his 2004 Avalanche. I did a complete rewire with a new fuse block and everything for the 6.2 harness. Everything in the truck still works as it did before the swap. Only thing we are having a problem with is the all the new stuff is Canbus instead of serial data. So we ordered a lengenfelter canbus to analog converter box that should be able to be plugged into the OBD2 connector and read out for the gauges.

Now our problem is finding a correct pinout for the original 04 gauge cluster. I wanna say I come up with tach as white, oil pressure as tan/white, and VSS as green/white. The fuel level and volts already work as they originally did.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out is making the coolant temp gauge work. The diagrams I have seen say its logic or something. Is there not an output wire for it to work as the other gauges? any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The problem is going to be the trans. No matter what you do, the 6l80 can’t understand serialized data.

A lot of people do a 4l80 so all you really need is a 24x to 58x converter.

Supposedly Speartech did it so you may want to reach out to them.
