Wire harness, in theory, should be there and have all the plugs you need, assuming your truck matches the transmission.

Why do you want an auto over a manual...

Auto manufacturers tend to make one wiring harness fit all options. That's why they're called 'options', as I understand the world. My world view is slightly askew, though, and I have been wrong before.

Is the auto a C4, C5, C6, some combination of 4's/5's and E's? We need details, or we can't help you. ;)

Powerglide? Torque-Flite? Is it Allison?
