The RWAL controller is in the dash close to the center. If you remove the knee bolster under the steering column, it is immediately to the right of the opening.

it wasnt to bad, after breaking 2 teeth of the pinion while checking my torque converter stall speed I found a dude with a wrecked '01 or '02 automatic with the same gear ratio. Bought it for $200 and packed it home, bolted right up! the brake lines were a tad thicker on the new axle and the abs sensor had a diff plug. swapped sensors, cut my old brake lines off and re-flared them and in a few hours everything except the E brake was working good! Ebrake still down, could use advice on that

I put a 2002 disc brake rear end under my truck a year ago, and it's one of the best things I ever did to my truck. It took about a day. Here's how I solved the parking brake problem:
