Apparently a factory OEM gas pedal from a 94-02 CHEVY GMC 6.5L V8 DIESEL (PN 15984422) will bolt right in. You have to repin a few wires, but it's supposed to be pretty straight forward.

The .pdf file has a complete discussion on the entire install, but here is a small snippet:

"This is the installed Pedal Position Sensor AKA Drive by Wire pedal.
I used one from a 1998 6.5 Diesel truck as it bolts right up and is a closer match
than the later Silverado pedal. A couple of the wires do have to be moved as it is
internally wired different. Basically, there are three different sensors in the pedal
and the PCM compares all three of these to determine how much throttle
opening the drivers is requiring. If these three sensors do not agree, a code will
be set and the PCM takes a best guess at what the throttle opening should be.
The gray wire was moved from location A to J, the Brown wire was moved from
location E to A and the Yellow wire was moved from location J to E. I also had to
add a slot in the connector plug so it would plug into the pedal."

PLEASE NOTE I HAVEN'T TRIED THIS ON A TRUCK, I'M JUST PASSING THE INFORMATION. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY PARTS!!!!

Good luck with your LS Swap!!!
I'm in need of this pedal for my Suburban LQ4 swap.
I'm a little intimidated swapping wires around. Is there a guide on how to move wires around on the connector? How do I get the wise out of the connector without damaging them? And then how do I reinstall them?

I'm pretty much done with my swap, and it drives great,but the pedal is way out of position. Hate to go screwing with my harness if everything is working, but the diesel pedal sounds like a good idea.
