    well at twice the price the dirty dingo mounts arent really something i was after. They will run alot more too having them shipped up to canada. i dont mind having the tranny move a bit as it will be out anyways(using the new unit not the 700r) as long as i can use my factory driveshaft.

    So maybe its better to ask if i should use the factory location transdept mounts or the 1" set back mounts from them.

    What have people done for transmission cooler lines? I was thinking I could just use the factory ones but after looking, it sounds like that may not be an option. I have access to a donor truck so if the factory 99+ lines are usable I can try to grab them.

    What are the differences between a 96-98 4l60e's? Do they have the same plugs?

    I believe the plugs are the same. I can't see why the wiring wouldn't be the same but I would certainly check first to eliminate any potential problems.

    I ended up removing my old adapters out of my trans and installed them into the 99 trans. The male threaded part are metric in both but the female part that receives the cooling line was different. In order to keep my original cooler lines, I simply swapped fittings out of my old trans and put them in the new one.
