hey everyone im new here i have a 1996 12 valve 2500 2wd extended cab longbed i have done a fuel plate straightpipe and an cold air intake. it has a piece of s@#$t automatic in it now i use this truck everyweekend to haul a 30 foot 2 car hauler with mine and my wifes dirt stock cars on it. the tranny is starting to slip a freind of mine from the track has a standard for it i can get a good deal on im wondering if anyone could give me some step by step and maybe picture instructions on how to do the swap??? thank you!

 

If i find some time tomorrow i'll write you up a step by step. i did this last year but it was 4x4. its really not a hard swap. everything fits right in. its definitely the best thing you can do to an automatic. My dad and i had it done in two days. good luck

 

i was looking at doing this swap aswell, i have an auto matic thats slipping and throwing fits aswell..

i also have a wrecked dually i was wanting to take the 5 speed and transfercase and stuff and swap into my auto, and me and my dad were debating how hard it would be.

 

do they have an adapter plate to throw a six speed under there? if so i want that

 

If your gonna convert it to a 6speed, you can not use 5speed parts

Its a peice of cake! i just got done with mine 2days ago!


Its really simple, I got a few pics of mine. i suggest getting a new hydralic system and clutch package!

 

alright fellas i know how silly this question is but i have a 98 manual truck but i bought it with a new rebuilt auto trans but i am wondering if i could get any advice on how i will need to wire me tranny up. do i just splice it into my tps so it will shift and downshift and how do i hotwire the neutral safety switch? can i just wire it together because im putting a ratchet shifter into it im not changing the steering column. just wondering if anyone can help me with the wiring process?? thanks

 

Im kinda confused? the truck is a manuel but it has a auto in it, so you wanna drop a straight gear in it right?

 

nop sorry the truck was a manual but the guy i bought it from kept the trans. So i wound up with a 47RH to put into it. my question is is what do i need to do to wire the trans up change the harness, or where do i splice the wires in to the throttle positioning sensor and the neutral safety switch?? please help!!!!

 

Tell you the truth i do not know. My thought is, its gonna be very hard to in a auto trans bc your gonna have to trace alot of wires to hook up the govnor sensor and a bunch more.

Could you sale that auto and get a manuel
