Posting confusing information to get threads going are we?

The LBZ shares very little with the 04+05 LLY, 06 LLY is virtually the same as the LBZ with programming being the only difference.

This is true. If you did any real research you would find a huge difference between the '04.5-'05 LLY and the '06 LLY- and LBZ (mainly in the cooling system).

Basically, if you have the 6 speed Allison, you have the LLY that is very very similar to the LBZ.
