Posted September 21, 2007

I have a 91 ck1500 tbi auto short bed Reg cab. I would like to swap the 700r4 for a 94 to 97 T56 6speed trans. Its a 2wd and would be a lot of fun plus the mpg should go up.

Im sure the trans will bolt right up and the clutch pedals I can get from a salvage yard.

Im not sure about the speedometer connection and computer changes.

A chip for a 5 speed TBI truck?

Im thinking this should be bolt in and plug in instal

Please Help

Greg

  AAA has long kept tabs on gas prices so I'd consider it generally credible. This shows average by state so we have to assume there's some regional variations over/under inside of the states that contribute to those averages.

  Great project. I had the same idea and had also removed (well the trail helped) my lower plastic airdams. Just last week I had a local weld shop modify a receiver cross bar to tuck up tight to bumper. To avoid a few things, they made it protrude out more than I like, but still happy. I only have the plastic factory skid plate underneath. Did remove the frame “cups” and the recovery hooks to make room.

  At least on my 24 with the 10L1000 the dash display for trans temp exactly matches what my OBD2 monitor shows. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for coolant temp, the dash gauge is essentially an idiot light at this point.

  Years ago this was a big problem with any vehicle with multiple leaf springs. I had a grease wedge that you would hammer into the springs and shoot some grease in between the leaf. I have not seen that tool in years. I would go to an old timer and see if he has one. It made the back end ride like new.
