Yes will install the orginal steering wheel again. All parts in the engine compartment are indeed present. Only the electrics missing.

I have installed only the control unit from the gear vendor unit.

The only auto that is a direct bolt is from the diesels.

The engine serial number will tell you. The number is stamped on the block between the drivers side head and the injection pump. The first digits will either be 6.9D or 7.3D. You.ll probably have to scrape some crud and/or sealer to see the full number. Also 6.9 headbolts have a 7/16 head while a 7.3 will have 1/2.

How much engine oil does the 6.9? 10Liter?

My 6.9 engine making blue smoke. Why might that be?

It's 10 or 12 US quarts, don't remember immediately which. As for the smoke, it could be burning oil. How much and how often does it do it, or is there a specific action that causes the smoke?

Could be as simple as the CDR needing cleaned. It is the round can thing on the back side of the intake under the air cleaner. It comes off with 2 bolts, then you can soak the inside with degreaser. They work like a pcv valve essentially.
