Manual-Swap 96 V6 2wd

[Ronin Lindsey]

I have a 96 4.3 V6 2wd with a 4-speed automatic. I am wanting to Manual-swap it. How hard would that be? Cost? Computer Flash? I need help!! Thank you!

I think your easiest rt. would be a donor truck and swap what you need. It is usually cheaper to buy a whole parts truck on C-list than deal with salvage yards. Unless you have a you pick yard . Around here you have to pay to even look in the yard and they don't let you pull anything yourself.

Do you know what exactly I'll need? Will I need to reflash the engine?

I am not sure of that I am a hammer and wrench mechanic computer controls I stay clear of.

How hard would that be?

Definitely not the easiest thing in the world, but not the hardest either.

Cost?

Depends on which transmission you're swapping to, and therefore how much other stuff you'll have to change, like driveshaft length.

Computer Flash?

Yes.
