It will run on the 6.0 tune, but I wouldn't leave it like that permanently, so factor in the price of a tune to the swap.
Correction! If its NOT a 99-00 you will need the .400" crank spacer. The 99-00 crank was already longer. Trust me, Ive been fighting this situation for a few months try to get a 99-00 6L bolted to a 4l60e! I got it resolved...
