Look under your truck at the trans crossmember. If the trans mount is facing forward then you'll have to cut it off and flip it around.

Basicly you cut the center section out and move it and the transmission mount backwards about 6 1/2" you remove the section for pan clearance,the transmission is about the same overall length as a 4L60E but the pan is deeper and extends further back.

You either need to buy one/make one/rework the stock one cause the 2500 series crossmember is different.
