Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I did the whole 6.0 LQ4 LS, 4L80E, NP-205 swap for just the TR-6060 cost. Highway speeds aren’t a problem with a 4 speed when you ditch the 6.2.From what I have read, the 6L90E has a larger shaft then the 6L80E. The 6L80E has the 32 spline like the NP-208, NP-241 and NP-242 and I am sure you could convert the NP-205 to work also but a bit pricier. A newer, not sure of the years yet, with VSS output might be helpful for the electronic controller...??? Of course with a manual you could jump start the vehicle when the batter was dead and there is no slipping even thought the auto could lock the converter. It's looking close to the same money but I have not gone deep into the pricing yet. I did get a quote for a new TR-6060 and it seems it was in the $8-9K range....ouch. Not remembering if that is with the bell housing/clutch/etc....not the pedals I'm pretty sure.
I get it. My 6.2 blew an oil line hose and the engine locked up which then prompted my swap. However for where I live now (CO) and what I do (driving up into the mountains) with the truck now the 6.2 would be absolutely miserable.I'm thinking I would have bought a gas truck if I wanted gas besides my engine only has 19K miles on it but I hear you. The LS would be quieter for sure.
My turbo 6.2 is fine in Colorado.I get it. My 6.2 blew an oil line hose and the engine locked up which then prompted my swap. However for where I live now (CO) and what I do (driving up into the mountains) with the truck now the 6.2 would be absolutely miserable.
