There's a lot of info to sift through on the internet, but to save time, does anyone know where I can find a definitive guide to swapping an LQ4 into a 1999-2000 K2500 Crew Cab (with L31, MT1, and NP241)?
After considering the cost of a new L31 HD crate engine ($4300), and seeing how plentiful and cheap the LQ4 is, I'm seriously considering the swap.
Some considerations:
- I am planning on installing a hydroboost unit, so I need to retain that.
- I do not want to splice into my stock engine/transmission harness. I can swap connectors, if necessary, but I want to avoid splicing if possible.
- I want the finished product to look OEM (i.e., like the engine came installed from the factory).
- I would like to use the 0411 PCM.
Advice and recommendations are greatly appreciated.
