I'm just a little hung up here. If you have 15k to play with make it fun! Do a Duramax and Allison as said before or stick a 383 stroker in there or skies the limit really. Duramax and a 6 inch lift? So many options here I'm jealous I wish I had that money to play with

Not my truck though, I'm still just not gettin the no computer thing - is it worth it?

It is to me.

If you've done the db2 swap already and have a standalone computer for the 4l80e then you're good to go.

You loose cruise control but thats about it. I assume you've swapped out the APP for a throttle cable unit already.

The tach runs off the alternator, the speedo off the vssb, the rest of the gauges in the dash are "standalone".

The diesels are not like the gassers in obdii where everything runs through the pcm.

Your glow plugs will need to be converted to a manual system (ie:switch) since the diesel PCM does control those.

Wow. They said you were knowledgable. I am assuming the "standalone" for the transmission is the TCU I bought. So the only thing I need is that glow plug switch?

Pretty much.

There might be a few little bits i'm forgetting, but thats just about all of it I think......

Never heard of EZ-TCU, most use the us shift unit (http://www.usshift.com) to do the transmission when doing the db2 conversion. Some have used the factory TCM from the 92/93 model trucks as they where factory db2 6.5 TD trucks.

But whatever works I guess.

Well than you sir. And yeah. The us shift shift unit appears inexpensive next to the TCU. You can check it out. www.tciauto.com/tc/ez-tcutm-transmission-control-unit-gm-4l60-4l65-4l70-4l80-and-4l85e-to-09html/
