g56 will bolt up to any of the common rails, you only need the pedal pins and hydros the bracket is there for them just swap brake pedal and pop in the clutch pedal, as far as the strength goes both me and my dad use g56's we are hard on them and they take it all , learning how to launch and how to run the trans is key also braces are made for them now. the trans plate should not be needed i use my auto bell no problem , loop ur N safety , and get a reflash and your good

I'm swapping one in right now from a 2009 cummins into my 2003 cummins, just curious if there's any thing other then the smarty reflash you have to do for wiring? I want cruise to work and I've read that the horn will honk if its running and you open the door,I just want it to be normal, any info will help

the horn honk will be cured by the reflash , cruise will work no matter what , ie it work even befor i reflashed it , pin the nutral safety in N thats all

and as far as the brace goes lazersmith makes a gorilla brace, i make one too just only running them on my truck and my dads so far

I have a steering column from a manual truck I'm putting in with it, will that complicate the neutral issue? Also how do you get the reverse lights to work?

I got a heap of parts from an 06 mega cab for the swap, interior don't matched (figured it wouldn't) should pedals work? I didn't think they changed that but I could be wrong, also I read about connecting the #3 and #5 wires together on the 5 plug auto tranny harness, what's that about? I have a lot of un answered questions about the wiring stuff but other then that its almost done

Saw the one that lazarsmith makes. Nice lookin unit, a bit pricey. Looks like it would act as a brace, shroud and clutch scatter sheild. I was thinkin something that mounts from the bell bolts to pto covers and then gusset it.
