someone please help me... i would really like to do this but i dont know where to start

where is your home town? just curious if i might be able to fix you up

thanks for the reply i was starting to think no one was going to help.... i live in horseshoe bend...

wow thats a long way haha....your probably looking at about 4-5k if you do it yourself...i done mine so if you need any pointers just ask when you start doing it....really you can almost just find a cheap truck for the price of that stuff

i could probably get you a price on a used deal if you want but shipping would be expensive

well i found a reman nv4500 for 800 i figured i could one from a junk yard for cheaper the guys down here treat me pretty good so i think they would give me a good deal and if i would have to i might be able to get the drive lines from the same place but i dont know if i would have to change any wires.... with all that said am i still looking at 4 or 5k... if so i might just have to get a toruqe converter cuase im a lil to poor for that kind of money... :ouch: and i can get a ride of the truck i love it! haha

well i got a really good deal on mine and done it myself...it was all used even the stock clutch....came with pedal, master/slave cylinder, bell, trans, transfer, driveshafts, shifter and flywheel it cost me $3500....also you dont have to change the plate on the motor or starter if that helps...i can help with wiring also when you get there :c:

ha that might be awhile i might just stick with the auto and get a ats torque converter.... we will see thanks though... if i decide to do it i will look ya up!:c:

NP....i know a valve body really helps the automatics life span and not mashing on it all the time of course haha

you only have to tap one wire for the neutral safty switch so you can start the truck other than that you just need the basic stuff like flywheel, clutch, tranny, crossmember, driveshaft, and the pedal w/ the slave cyllinder its not a hard swap to do i've done a few of them it just takes time

i posted this some time back on another thread ....in the main fuse panel under the hood take it apart to expose the wires....find the ones that run to the started relay...cant remeber the color right now but one of them are ran by the NS switch cut it and ground it...then the cruise control will work and you can start the truck
