6.0 (LQ$) into 4WD OBS truck

[PSWired]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site. I'm contemplating putting a Gen III 6.0L motor and 4L80E transmission into my 1995 Yukon. I've got a few questions. Most of them have to do with accessories. The first one I'm sure you hear all the time, it's the AC. Has anyone tried to drop a 6L into a 4x4 OBS truck before with the truck accessory configuration? Will the frame still need to be notched to accomodate the compressor? Also, will the new truck compressor work with the rest of the 1995 air conditioning system (pressure switches, accumulator, etc)? Next, will the power steering pump out of my 1995 truck bolt up to the Generation III engine? It looks the same from the pictures I've seen...

I'm pretty confident with electronics and wiring so getting the new PCM to work with what's in my truck currently shouldn't give me too much trouble. I'm planning to snag a 2003+ engine with the electronic throttle body to ease installation, and make the cruise control easier to get working. It would be a HUGE help if someone had wiring diagrams for the 2003 2500HD trucks with the 6L and 4L80e.

Thanks in advance.

also been thinking about doing the same swap, only into my 94 silverado so if anyone has anything to say about it I'd definitely be interested too

search past posts. There is tons of information in here about swapping LS1s into 88-98 Chevy trucks.

I am getting ready to do the same swap and want to get my ducks in a row before hand. I have a 1995 k1500 4x4 suburban. I want to drop in a 6.0 and 4L80E combo. I tried the search but keep getting error messages. Anyone willing to enlighten me please email me at vinman1175@hotmail.com. Thanks.............
