so what transmissions do they have in the trucks these days?

you mentioned it is a 5.3L from a 2008 truck.

What trans is it? Do they have 5 speeds yet or what? I am behind the times.

Cool project.

It still has the 4 speed automatic (4L60E), I was trying to get the 6L engine out of a 2500HD with the 6 speed trans, but the yards wanted too much for it and I couldn't afford it...

It looks like he used the factory split covering and adds where necessary.

What was the cost & turn-around time on this? Do you just tell them what options you want or do they have a list to choose from?

They have the prices on their website (I am not sure is I can give them and the web site under the forum rules). I spoke to Jared and he walked me through the different options. I needed to tell him what tire size and gearing and I also opted for an extra serial line to run a factory gauge cluster or ODBC2 gauge if I wanted to in the future. It took 3+ weeks to get it done as I guess he has a backlog of work. I get the impression that the work itself only takes a day or two to complete.

tomlamb · 09-10-2009, 11:47 AM

As a couple people have asked and the moderators say it is ok... It was $625 (450 for harness and 175 for computer programming) and took about 3 weeks. Their website is http://www.currentperformance.com and it also has the prices. I know some people do their own as the info is out there on the web, but I like the quality OEM look CP does with the fuse/relay block and hopefully it will turn out to be plug and play. When I was looking for a vendor to do the harness, CP had a good reputation on some other boards...

Real_McCoy · 09-10-2009, 02:04 PM

Sweet build. Great pics. You are making me anxious to get my build started.

tomlamb · 09-12-2009, 10:34 AM

I hope they paint your BB/MC. Are you going to get rid of the stock air intake?

I am likely keeping the stock Air intake (at least for now) from what I read, thease breath fairly well.

ruffrida2005 · 09-12-2009, 07:16 PM

I thought they are restrictive because of how it goes up into it to mount over the hoses. I have a 07 with the stock one and when you get on it you can hear it trying to breath.

If that turns out to be the case, I guess I can always change

looking good!!!

ruffrida2005 · 09-16-2009, 02:01 PM

Looking really good, Do you have any plans for sound damping?

tomlamb · 09-16-2009, 05:08 PM

Thanks guys! Well as for sound damping... I don't have the budget to do the interior (yet) so I will likely just do a carpet kit for now. I would love to do somthing like lizardskin but the stuff is out of budget (like a new cluster instead of my old digital...)

joe231 · 09-16-2009, 05:14 PM

Home depot sells some stuff cheap that is supposed to be as good as dynamat or fatmat....Tony (LILRED66) used it in one of his trucks
