New guy from Woodland, CA. '87 34/4 ton Crew Cab, Long bed.

I'm new to the sit and in searching it...I have found that I know a few people on here already. (some people back in Kansas). Anywho...

The TH400 Tranny in my truck was taking way to long to shift, and when it did, it would be a hard shift. (this is why my ol'man sold it to me for $500). But it didn't seam to slip. Hell I even drove it all the way out here to Cali from Kansas, loaded down with my Harley, my tool box, and all my tools. No problems other than a hard shift from 1st. to 2nd.

Long sotory short.....it finally went south yesterday.

Now the question; Replacing the TH400 would be the easy solution, but I would like to switch to an Over-drive tranny.

My brother back in Kansas has a '92 GMC with a good OD Tranny. Can anyone tell me what tranny that might be and if it would perform good in my truck?

My Truck;
1987 GMC 3/4 Ton Crew Cab 2wd, long bed, TH400, and 4.10 gears out back.

The Donor Truck;
1992 1/2 ton ext cab, Over drive Trans (?), That's all I know about it.

If this tranny will do for me, I was currious about crossmember, Lock-up, and all the common questions in the swap.

Oh yea it's a 3/4 ton but I don't plan on hauling anything heavyer than mine or friends Motorcycles. nothing like a 5,ooo trailor.

I would like to have a crusier. Maybe lowered and custom wheels one day.

Any help and guidence would be great

Thanks, Jon

Welcome from NW Washington. You would probably get better response to your question if you posted in the engine & drivetrain section. This part is for welcomes and introductions. Good luck with the project.
