It is for the kickdown. You can get a kit from B&M or leave it off.

The kickdown kit should still work with the Vortec. You might have to fab a bracket to hold the switch, or use a bracket for a carbed kickdown. The one from the 4L60 TV cable might work.

It would be handy to have. That way you wont have to manually kick down to get passing gear. If it isn't hooked up, it won't cause any damage.

strong is what i have been striving for. 1ton axles, 350 from a 99 1ton (not that it is any better than a 1/2ton 350 but hey it's from a 1ton!), tranny is from a 1ton, and if my atlas would ever get here i'll be set! :D
