    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    My friend's customer had some LS square body swap headers. Driver side landed directly where the shift linkage goes. Passenger side tube hit the floorboard. Both O2 bungs wouldnt allow for a sensor to actually be installed before hitting something. Not sure how much variance could possibly be in...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Sorry to the OP for ruining your thread. On the plus side early in the thread people will know that having to push a button after shifting to low range is hokey. [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yeah I think having a manual switch is hokey. That is fine on a race car not on a street driven vehicle. No different then having to manually switch on a fuel pump or cooling fan rather then wiring it correctly. Can it be done yes, is it right, probably not. It really has no bearing on your...

    Or spend a $100 on a clamp on reluctor wheel to do it right. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yes but the ECM still needs to know when it is in low range since a 2.7 or 1.9:1 ratio change occurs from the trans output to the tcase tailshaft. It cant guess, when the ratios dont match it goes into limp mode or throw a DTC. What you are saying is true but it is only half of the problem when...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yes but the problem is that there is no location inside of a four-wheel drive transmission to read the output shaft speed. So even if you put a converter box on the cable drive it still is in the wrong location. If I remember correctly, I used the LS fuel pump inside of my tank on the factory...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    I think the easy way is to use this kit: https://jagsthatrun.com/products/parts-for-4l60-e-reluctor-ring-relocation Dont feel bad, the truck my buddy took on to fix was in the same boat. A specialty shop didnt know what to do. The company that sold him a harness didnt include a low range...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Off the top of my head I don't think it does. Only the tcases that come in the LS trucks does. I believe there is a 4wd computer that works with the front axle actuator, tcase actuator, and 4wd switch on the dash. That computer signals the engine ECM when it is in low range. I think the easiest...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yes and no. Either the 60 or 80 at minimum need a transmission output speed. Input isnt necessary but helps with monitoring slippage and converter lockup. Now for output you can out a electronic sender in place of the tcase cable which feeds vehicle speed to the ECM. The issue with that is when...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    I think you need a different pan or something like an ORD crossmember. Good luck with the build. I helped a friend out with a swap exactly like yours on a K10. Guy had his truck at a specialty shop for two years amd they finished nothing. Hacked a harness and laid it on the hood. I told my...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    That is going to be a nice rig! Post up some pics. Are you doing AC too? Be curious to see what setup you go with. I would be easy on the 4L60 with that kinda power. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk
