Done some searching, found good info and all, but not alot of detailed info
I have a 95 rcsb I'm swapping a 5.3 in out of an automatic truck (most likely 99-2002)
The truck currently has a nv3500 with bad second gear synchro, so I'm tossing around the idea of 4l80e swap.
I know I need the trans, TC, lines, cooler, and shifter. And drive shaft shortened.
Am I missing any thing?
What controls the trans? Pcm? The pcm already has to be sent off for a tune to work in my application, so do I tell them(who ever I have tune the pcm) I'm running an 80e?
Also, instead of patching the stock shifter hole, I will just run a floor shifter for the time being till I get the time for a column swap, so what shifter should I run? The cheaper the better.
Any this g els I'm missing? Fill me in. Thanks
