I think you would have to get a stand alone controller. All they guys that diss the 6.0 vortecs and say they are terrible on gas are the guys with the 4spd autos and 410 gears them 6.0 vortecs mated to the 6l90e 6spd's are beasts they pull like a diesel and if you got 373 gears you get 17+mpg hwy. I just wonder how to make that work in a 88-98 style truck. I'll have to Google more about this standalone kit.

Them 6spds are EXPENSIVE! :confused:My bro-in-law has a 03 2500 Burb with 6.0/4l80e and 3.73 gears. Unloaded he averages about 15 mpg. Which ain't terrible IMO. I pulled 9000 lbs worth of tractor and equipment with the 350 that's in there now and it surprised me how well it did! Just drank 3qts of oil in 150 miles!:eek: So I think the 6.0/4l80e is more than enough for what I plan to do! Plus my trans only has about 5000 miles on it!

@Jay33089 Be sure to let us know on that engine swap when it's done and the progress man! (When you get around to doing it of course. :) ) Sounds epic-ally epic!!! :D

That is nice idea there @96k1500. I like it. :)

Alright folks here it comes! The 6.0 swap is under way! Had the 6.0 in my 99 1500 Silverado as test pig and she's good to go! Put the 4.8 back in the 99.:( Man she was fun to drive but oh well it's still my everyday beater! Here's a couple of pics to get you interested again! Lol!

Currently getting the brackets for the ac and alternator finished up. Should have them done in a day or two. Then the real fun begins! Bare with me! May be a few days between post, but I will keep you updated!
