The DRAC probally has another output for the electronic cruise control setup, but you won't need it, unless you are retrofitting cruise in as well.

The PCM would need to be hooked up to the two wires that run to the speed sensor as well, its fine to splice them all together, as neither the DRAC, nor the PCM should be changing the voltage the sensor produces at varying speeds.

I don't have a DRAC on hand to take a picture of, but if you pop over to www.fullsizechevy.com, and search for DRAC, you'll find gobs of pics, and probally wiring diagrams / pinouts as well.

Why would he have to change his speedometer? On his 4 wheeldrive the mechanical speedo cable goes to his 208 transfer case. Not his transmission.
