That's going to be one hell of a truck. Post a link to the build here, I really want to follow some of the info for this swap. I've seen a couple combos on ebay, but I just can't pull the trigger right now.

This certainly is the easiest option versus tearing into the tranny just to swap output shafts. Nice score on that combo BTW!!!

Agreed on the driveshaft and sorry bout the 135 miles I miss read and thought 135k not 135 period that really is a good score barely even got out of dealership

I found a kit that provides the necessary parts to do the conversion, but I have been unable to find anything talking about doing the actual swap. Can you DIY or does it have to be done at a transmission shop? Thanks in advance.

>work at a driveline place...Can you get some specs of that "tri-bolt" companion flange? or maybe part with it?..Would like to check the specs of the flange and see if danamate.com has any normal slip yokes near your specs (internal spline count/spline major diameter, ground hub diameter..etc..) = would be nice to know if theres any easy options..

iv'e seen a few of these "kits" on the net..From bolt on adapters to output shaft swaps!:uhmk:

What kinda of conversion kit did you purchase/where from? It appears by "taking it to a trans shop" - that maybe your "kit" changes the output shaft?

...Just trying to get more knowledge about these newer trans/transfer cases...So much conflicting information out there...


>>> Ha - just got my account approved - now I see the kit your going with!... sounds like an easy choice... Would have loved to know what that flange spec'd out at..

Oh -well...if anyone else get the opportunity - would like to hear what they find out..
Thanks guys!

Re: 6L80 swaps
 
Until they make a decently priced stand alone unit to control this trans and not do a LS swap this trans is a no go for most people. I don't think you can call it just a trans swap when it required a new engine to go with it.....

Just ordered this conversion kit to switch from 4WD to 2WD with a slip yoke. Thought I would share the link. $350 for the kit...

Are you going to do this yourself? If so....Get prepared for the Center Support snap ring......It is the stoutest snap ring I have ever ran across!

Re: 6L80 swaps
 
So I have a question. Drove a truck with that combo while back kinda remember a lag when hitting the throttle with towing a load.

Do this sound familiar? If so, would a custom tune on it bring about more responsive changes?

Posing the question, yeah it may not matter.
