That is freakin' awesome!

Glad to hear it worked out great.

 

How soon will you have the conversion kit, and how much will it be? I'm holding off on my tranny til then. PLEASE LET US KNOW SOON! PLEASE!

 

I have almost no mechanical experience and my swap went fine...not one problem. I get the pcm today from Allen so I can finally drive the thing.

This was all on my '99 2wd extended cab:
-used 4L80 Transmission w/ 6mo. parts/labor warranty w/ 39K miles ($1000)
-driveshaft was fine (no modification needed) ($0)
-Found a yoke out of a turbo 400 ($25) and got u-joint ($20) from O'Reilleys to mate yoke with driveshaft
-Crossbrace was simple mod (took 1 hour tops to mod) ($0 for me--maybe $100 if you don't weld?)
-Speartech harness is no brainer ($160)
-4L60 Transmission Lines went fine with rubber hoses on the end to cooler
-B&M Cooler ($60)
-Computer Programming (free....I bought Allen's tune months ago)
-Transgo Shift Kit (~$110+install)
-Yank 2800 (~$900)

Fortunately, I did not have to hook the new trans up to the 5.3 my truck originally had....I swapped the motor at the same time for a 6.0 so no flex plate, etc. was needed in my case. Transmission simply bolted right up to the 6.0!
