Whoop, there it is.
How easy was the swap? Worth the work? I'm getting ready to drop my 5.9 in and have been thinkin about doing the transmisson as well.
Depends I guess, as it took me most of two days to do the trans mount fabbing and install of both.
That included all new oversized cooling lines, linkage changes on the trans due to the pan gasket thickness because it threw off the angles and geometry enough to have to readjust it all.
Driveline shortening, ujoint change and new longer speedo cable was also done at the same time.
It took close to $250 for all the plumbing and switching for fully automatic shifting which was also done at the time of the engine and trans install (and worth every penny)
The way it is now it shifts up and down through all five speeds on it's own really nice, and I have OD and lockup disable control inside the car for the more spirited around town driving.
It can cause weird things with the upper shifts when it'll do 90 in second with your foot in it, then OD wants to come on at 55 and lockup at 65.
OD cant come on unless the trans is in 3rd and lockup comes on at 65mph so lockup can and will come on at 65 in second gear.
So if jumping on it, it's best to turn OD and lockup both off till you are done hauling ***, then putting them back in automatic mode for cruising above 55mph :D
Thank you.
