Hey guys, newbie Chris here. I just picked up a '97 4d 2WD 5.7 'hoe. After some googling, I landed here - it seems to be the most well-attended and well-informed Tahoe forum around. I've loved these trucks for years and finally came across one that I could $wing. It's got 152k well-maintained miles on it, so I figure she's got alot of good life left in her. She needs a tranny (thus why I could afford it - $750 for the truck), but my brother has a '97 Astro 4.3L RWD van for a donor trans - all of the reading I've done says it's a direct swap with all of the same tranny internals used on the 4.3L V6 vehicles as the 5.7L trucks. Any info/input on what to expect and watch out for during the R&R on the 'hoe is surely appreciated!
