Anyone hear of anyone with plans on putting a 68re in an early 3rd gen.

 

First ive heard it

 

I wish!!!!

 

I have wanted to do this myself although I thought about using the aisen 6spd out of the cab and chassis trucks(seems like it would be stronger). All it takes is money, anybody want to sponser...JK

 

old thread dredging


soooooooooooo I was just thinking this same thing. My buddy just bought an 08 4500 and he was told it had an allison trans in it. I didn't think so and found the build sheet. aisan 6spd of course.

After driving the truck and feeling it shift... and actually accellerate like a diesel should (anything but downshift and rev to the moon) I was thinking I'd want to shove one in my truck since the 6spd manual swap is wayyyy ridiculous.

So anyone done this yet? Trials, tribulations, etc?

 

Id like to be able to floor it and get a gear too. wtf! Tired of the mini blazers thinkin they are whoopin me cuz Im makin all kinds of noise and not going anywhere!

 

Call Suncoast and see where they are at on their conversion package.

Ain't gonna be cheap though.

 

looked into the 68rfe swap suncoast can do it for 8+k did the g56 swap for 4k with a dd 3600lb clutch included thanks to tony at mighty diesel . nothin like picking your own gears

 

did you go auto to g56?

I'd much rather have a manual but from my understanding I have to take my whole truck apart (exageration) to make it happen.

 

yeah had a built auto swapped to the g56 not that hard to to did it in a weekend of fun
