Yes but the problem is that there is no location inside of a four-wheel drive transmission to read the output shaft speed. So even if you put a converter box on the cable drive it still is in the wrong location.
If I remember correctly, I used the LS fuel pump inside of my tank on the factory...
Ac Delco 43254 is what fits the 6.2 engine. Looks hard to find, I'd go to Delphi as a second one up.
Why wouldn't use anything but the OEM part?
Correct answer...glow plugs. Do not use Wellman. Other then that, use OEM.

I think the easy way is to use this kit:

Dont feel bad, the truck my buddy took on to fix was in the same boat. A specialty shop didnt know what to do. The company that sold him a harness didnt include a low range...
Off the top of my head I don't think it does. Only the tcases that come in the LS trucks does. I believe there is a 4wd computer that works with the front axle actuator, tcase actuator, and 4wd switch on the dash. That computer signals the engine ECM when it is in low range.
I think the easiest...
Haha
Yeah made and works is about as good as it gets. It won't be NOS but its the same part the dealer puts in the box that says Chevrolet and hands it over the counter at triple the price though.

You gamble with all of it but personally I'd rather buy OEM or same brand as original supplier. It should be made by AC Delco.
Deal breaker, probably not. I have almost ten years on thermostat amd lift pump woth no issues which is nice.

I'd probably only put genuine Delco thermostat or lift pump in there. You are already committed timewise, why not put a better quality part in for not a lot more money.

Yes and no. Either the 60 or 80 at minimum need a transmission output speed. Input isnt necessary but helps with monitoring slippage and converter lockup.
Now for output you can out a electronic sender in place of the tcase cable which feeds vehicle speed to the ECM. The issue with that is when...
Just drop the dough on a good aftermarket like Red Head, PSC, Borgeson, etc.
Parts store rebuilds are really hot or miss and not much less then the aftermarket.
Its steering dude...buy once cry once.

I think you need a different pan or something like an ORD crossmember.
Good luck with the build.
I helped a friend out with a swap exactly like yours on a K10. Guy had his truck at a specialty shop for two years amd they finished nothing. Hacked a harness and laid it on the hood. I told my...
That is going to be a nice rig! Post up some pics.
Are you doing AC too? Be curious to see what setup you go with.
I would be easy on the 4L60 with that kinda power.

Nice work!
4L80 is cake, even more so with a 208 tcase. Moving the crossmember, shift linkage, and tcase linkage is just redrilling and extending rods. No rocket science.
Controller is pretty simple. Hardest part is choking dowm the cost of a TPS sensor for the DB2 pump. This is way easier...
Yeah new trucks are cool because dealerships amd extended warranties are so thorough [emoji848]
You do realize that for like $4-5k you could put an LS, transmission with one or two overdrives, and have AC right?
Thats like a a gear vendors overdrive and a driveshaft refit cost.
I understand...
Yeah add some tall gears to an underpowered engine and numb transmission. Why not drag an anchor while you are at it. Sure the TH400 is beefy in stock form and yes the 700r4 when new sucked. Just like every new transmission, it has its teething years.
Glad the OP is tackling the job, good for...
700r4 is great for the ratios, lower first and taller overdrive. Also no electronics. Downsides it is a 700r4 so if heavy duty use is in the picture better spend the money on the hard parts.
4L80 is essentially a TH400 with an oerdrive so gears will be the same except that it will click into...
You can do your own homework but the gear vendors leaves a lot to be desired considering how much money it costs. Your best bet if you are strapped for money is larger tires. If you have the money for a transmission then a 4L80 or 6L80 is a much better choice.
Of course for that money you can...
IP replacement should run 4 maybe 5 hours. Anymore and they are robbing you. They are simple as lomg as you line the timing mark up you are golden. Biggest issue is not dropping the three bolts down the timing cover. No pressure!
I did a flexplate by gettimg longer bellhousing bolts. Swap them...
Control boards are as old as me. They are just unreliable at this point. Sure all that other stuff is important but the almost 40 year old circuitry is junk.
