wow.....this has come a LOOOONG way! and it looks great! I went through all 94 pages but I didn't read all of the comments.....how long do you think it took you total to rewire everything? I've never done it before and I'm considering doing the upgrade to a EZ or Painless just do to the sorry condition of the wires I have now....hopefully I'm not in over my head since I do have the patience of the guy who invented patience.....I just don't have the experience ;)
Love your truck man...

hoping to better the ecomony on our TBSS with a 6 speed auto some day. The 4L70e just doesn't have a tall enough OD for the 4.10 gears. I guess a gear vendors od might be another route. I have heard of guys putting 3.42's in their TBSS.
