Default T-56 swap, no cruise in 6th

i did a 6.0/t-56 swap and have no cruise in 6th anyone come across this and manage to fix it. i had a 4.8/5-speed in before the swap so i thought everything would work just fine.

Coincidence I was just messing with mine. My T56 has 2 plugs in it, the reverse light sensor and the vss. I checked the reverse light switch and it only makes up when in reverse. So, the computer has no idea what gear it is ever in so it must be something to do with the 17 tooth reluctor wheel and the minimum speed for engagement being out of wack due to the 40 tooth factory reluctor wheel. Huh, maybe i'll try to get up to some crazy speed and see if it will engage. That would rule that out....like 120+
If it can't be fixed with a tune I wonder if a F-body computer would?

i have cruise in 5th must be cuz of the 5-speed in my truck before hand. i took the truck to a buddy of mine at a dealership and they tried to overwrite a f-body program on mine but it wouldnt take. i wonder if allen would know a way around this? anybody ask him?

I tried to engage it at 110mph and 3000 rpms in 6th with no luck. I then downshifted to 5th at the same speed and it engages. I don't have a clue.

I downloaded an SSR 6spd. tune off of HPTuners but I haven't seen anything obvious. But I just got HP yesterday, so there is a 99.99% chance that I missed something. I think I need to look at a service manual .
