6L80/90 6 speed swap

So I was wondering if anyone who did an ls swap put in a 6l80/90 instead of a 4l60/80 in their truck...I drove a 2012 3500 van with a 6.0/6l80 and that thing really moves for a huge van...I was amazed at the power...and its surprisingly reasonable on gas maybe since its a 6 speed. Is it harder to swap than a 4l60 and how much more expensive is it? now im think about a 6.0 instead of a 5.3 lol

Last I heard they still haven't cracked the can-bus what ever it is that they need to make it happen.

You can how ever put the whole package in your truck, and with some work get it to work.

TCI has a 6 speed 4L80 if your wallet can hold together.

You have to run a 58x setup E38 or E67 PCM. It can be done but spendy. You might enjoy the LSX swap section, if you haven't checked it out.
