Yes there are MULTIPLE write ups on that swap on EVERY Ls based board out there.
Is it worth it? That all depends on the type of use your truck sees and the actual hp/ tq it generates.
Is it hard? Not if you are mechanically/ electrically inclined and know a good bit about GM products.
Figure out what you want from the truck and do a little reading. Then post back with any specific questions. There are MANY guys here and elsewhere that can answer them.

i had never considered a 4 speed to 6 speed swap, but that would be pretty cool.
figured it was a typo.Quote:

Anyone has done this swap. It's pretty complicated.
Getting the tcase to adapt to the trans. Can't get serial data to talk with CAN.
Need a controller to shift the 6speed.

Serial data to CAN is a no go. You would have to swap to a later engine that has a 58tooth crank reluctor and a 4x cam. Then you would need a 4th gen ECM and harness.
Worth it, I doubt it.
Tech is right. You would most likely come out cheaper with a TCI 6X.
...Hey thx's fellas, just found a 4l80 on CL for $400. with 112k miles is that an OK Price!!!!!!!..man i feel that the l60 won't last me, i don't race my truck just haul a 18ft enclosed car trailer........
