Thanks a lot for letting me know how in reach the swap is.....fokker', now I'm gonna have the itch and the means.....crap!!!



Nice write up......

Good deal man. Glad you got it up and running and like it.

Hell yeah now you just need some longtubes. I'm getting 15-16 city with the awd so you should see slightly better with your selectable 4wd. Nice when you can accelerate up a hill and the trans doesn't have to shift, huh?

not the fastest thing in the world, but a huge improvement over before

slow roll in first, manual shift to 2nd


merging onto interstate


from a stop

looks like it needs more gear......last vid, you made it to 80 MPH in 2nd gear.

I am actually doing the same thing.. I have a LQ9 from a Cadillac - Did you do anything to your tranny or Torque COnverter? Or leave that all stock ?

Any tips you have - or any snags you ran into?? I am doing this coming up in a week or so!

theres a chance..it has 3.73s right now, and that was on my 24s which are about an inch talled then stocks..id love some 4:10s, but i cant justify the cost of front and rear, along with loosing what highway mpg i do get..i have a 200 mile trip from home to school that i make 3 times a month..so thats 1200 a month all highway..

it wasnt bad at all aside from the fact that the trans was siezed to the motor..other then that its all straight foward..

my trans has a shift kit and servo, but its slipping now. it has 155k on it so thats probably not helping..im looking into getting a built trans here soon and then throwin a cam and a 3600 stall in it.

What did you do for the ECU, did you have to have it tuned for the 6.0? Was it driveable w/ the 5.3 computer?

 

[Rollin Thunder]

boy big wheels must weigh down the truck quite alot, your 6.0 vid looks slower than my 5.3.
