you also have to do sum wiring i bought a harness from a 6.0 80e truck so it was plug and play only diff is the plug on the o2s

 

I'm not going to make that mistake, my limit is five and I'm on number four, lol.

 

Wow this is really helpful. Cost wise what's the comparison as far as use 60 vs 80?

 

80es are cheap but a stall for 1 is through the roof!!! lol

 

Figures... But if you are goin do it right do it once haha

 

80e... NO REGRETS.. the guy is still driving mine with the 80e.... to me the little bit of loss is worth the insurance of a stronger trans.. although i liked the gearing... first was long but the others were all closer together... you wont regret it...

i had 2,000 in my swap.. thats with 1,000 in a tq converter

Thats a pretty good list right there.. mine cost me about $900 for everything.. i used the stock TC.

 

Waht he said x2, I went through at least 15-20 before i swapped, now i wish i had all my money back that i spent on that junk they call 4l60e

 

This is why everyone making good power should do the swap. My level 5 was $2500+, plus $615 for the torque converter, plus another $600 to have it rebuilt after I lost reverse a couple days after installing it.
