I originally bought this truck back in early 2010, bone stock, 5.7, 4l60, push button 4x4, few flaws but overall a good looking truck. Soon after stuck a body lift on it.
Prolly one of the worst things I ever did to the truck, body lifts just tear things up IMO.
Found a set of wheels with tires that were too small..
And then drove the piss outta it, which resulted in the already-rebuilt 4l60 in the truck to die. I didn't have enough $ back then to have it rebuilt so I wandered around the local junkyards looking for transmissions and came across a 5 speed (nv3500) with all the goods (32 spline tcase, pedal, master, slave and line) and got it all for around $200 if I remember right. Bought a new clutch and flywheel, and tore into it.
Like I said before I didn't have alot of money, or knowledge on obd2 systems so I was kind of winging it on doing this to my dd.
So I put the Trans in the truck, mounted the pedal (hardest part IMO), and swapped the tcase to the 32 spline one.
I was out of money after buying all that, so I took the shifter position box off of the 4l60s shift linkage, put it in the park position so that the truck would start and left it at that. Worked up until now (as I refurbish the truck now that I have it back I am going to finish it all the right way)
