It is possible, but you need the full harness and ALL the sensors. If
your truck didn't come with it from the factory, you will need to
install every piece of the pie. Best thing to do would be to go to a
junkyard, find a Dak the same as yours (as close as you can get), start
at the overhead computer and follow every wire to its end - then take it
home with you.
