Default 07 Shifter- Column

Hi Guys. Hopefully you can help answer one of my technical questions...
I have an early 07 Tahoe LTZ. I see the new Silverado trucks and others,have a positive and negative button on the column shifter. This is for on demand shifting, correct? What would stop me from installing this unit in my vehicle? Would it be a plug and play, working unit? Anyone know? I appreciate your help! Please advise.

Are you referring to the Tow/Haul button in the end of the gear selector?

Tow/haul affects the transmission shift schedule so change-out may involve the dealer having to reprogram in order to recognize the manual off/on. Should be close to plug/play but a different switch may be thrown into the mix.

...not much help here, mine came with it.

No, I am referring to the postivie and negative buttons on the shifters from 07-08 Silverados, etc...
I have an 07 Tahoe with the tow button, and I know what it does.
I want to know about the other shifter with the other two buttons. Is it interchangeable?

It's a manual shift for the 6 speed transmission which is only offered with the 6.2 engine.

So how would I get this to work with my current setup, 07 Tahoe? Could I simply swap the shift levers and hookup the connector or what?

Well, if you swap the engine and transmission, i'm sure it would work great.

Well I have already done that, I have an LS7 & 4L80E in the truck...
Anyone know the wiring on the shifter? Different than what is currently in my truck?

Please be advised!
This individual has taken advantage of many.

I contacted Scott McKinney last week on purchasing K2 LED Tail lights.
Initially there was a great stream of communication between the two.
I sent the request for a USPS money order with express delivery due to the fact that I wanted to get these tail lights installed as quickly as possible.

As soon as I stated that the money was sent out the communication ceased to a response every other day versus immediate responses prior to payment.
He advised someone will be looking out for payment and product would be shipped immediately. Days passed and said he finally received payment.
Upon receiving payment and proceeding my request the item be shipped as quickly as possible, Mr McKinney began ignoring my emails and Instant Messages.
I began to call his "store phone" which in reality is his personal cell phone.
Half the time i receive his automated voice mail box and the other is met with sexual moans.
A week has passed and today he says he shipped the product and then canceled my shipment due to him not wanting to do business with people such as myself.
Mr McKinney stated that he will refund my money order and advised I take my business elsewhere.
This afternoon I googled 'smmperformance' and learned many have been burned by this individual.
Many have been promised of refunds and have yet to receive any compensation or product.
Please be advised of this internet criminal

UPDATE: JUNE 30 2008

Scott agreed to give me a full refund if i agreed to remove my comments.
I agreed and it has been two weeks and have not seen any refund or has he even attempted to return any of my emails.

Here is the email:
