    thanks for the info. with this tranny just being rebuilt about 3 hundred miles ago there is no reason to abandon this truck, just starting to learn the ins and outs. Also, easy enough year to work on without all the computer stuff. even with putting the ls swap in (5.3 or 6.0) looking for better gas mileage...... daily driver, about 75 miles a day.....and really like the truck...oh yea this forum is the best.....great advice!!

    Yea no problem. Thats the reason I did my swap. I was getting horrible mileage. Good luck with the swap. Any questions feel free to ask.

    Appreciate the offer to ask questions. I recently have received a quote from a local guy here to do the swap for me for just under $6000.. So this sets me back, but think I can do this myself. have rebuilt a couple of engines, so i know my way around an engine compartment. the wiring part is the area i am a little nervous about. all of the safety lockouts and the fuel management..... i do know i can buy a harness for about 300 that is a good swap part so unplug the old and plug in the new. a lack of knowledge in these areas is what is holding me up.....
