Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

Based upon what I've been told, that swap will be very challenging, as the electronic infrastructure between those two generations of trucks is quite different.

my 2 cents is work on getting the 10 speed swap going, even thou they aren't very reliable in stock form. if they dealer ship techs are to be believed they pop every 80-100k in new vehicles. but they make for a nice performance upgrade. I believe there was some posts about it around here somewhere. Just theory, I'm not sure it's been done seamlessly.

the LT engine being direct injection seems a bit overrated. a nice Gen 4 6.2 will give you 95% of the performance without any of the direct injection cost and headaches.

I think there's a shop in Texas that does the 10 speed swap. They post clips on their Facebook page.
