Hit Man,
I seem to recall reading that you installed these items in your truck. How hard was it? I am not a tranny x-pert but I can follow directions like a champ! Would you say it was more difficult or time consuming? I am trying to decide what jobs I want to tackle as I can't afford to pay for all my mods and someone to do the work. Anything I can pull off myself I want to do.

Not too hard, but that can vary from person to person. It takes a long time just to get the damned pan on and off. If you forget to get some spray adhesive... good luck getting that gasket on easily. GM just makes stuff so non-user serviceable it's not even funny.

I'd budget about 8 hours to do this in your garage/driveway. It's simply not something that you just throw in and it's done. Everything needs to be clean, organized, done properly, etc.

The ATSG manual is a good piece that shows everything you want to know and then some about the 60E, it's pretty cool. Torque specs, exploded diagrams, stuff that's handy to have for the SK install.

You'll need some odd tools, In-Lbs torque wrench, snap ring pliers, various sockets, assorted screw drivers, etc.

Hope that helps
