1987 GMC V1500 Sierra Classic LS swap/build

NorCal it does look like the one I need but holy moly, that is expensive for like 10" of hose with a 90 on it. I also need the filler vent hose.


I really like the idea for the switch on the shifter!

Yeah I was really surprised when I saw the price too but there aren't a whole lot of options out there for them either... I googled K20 filler hose and came up with part# 14000286 that looks just like the one in that other link so you might try to hunt one down that way.

Have you checked LMC yet? It looks like they have everything you need (filler and vent hose) but it's not a whole lot cheaper...

It is looking like LMC is my best bet, I just need to call them I guess and make sure I am ordering the correct parts.

I am so ready to get back in the shop and work on my truck but cannot find the time!

So I have a question, mostly because I came across this in someone elses thread that was using a 4L60E & passenger side drop NP241 transfer case.

They had to buy and use this adapter, #15005474. I understand that the 2001 adapter wont work, but I used the adapter from my 700R4 and I think I did end up with less driveshaft engagement than normal but I wasn't sure. I asked about it on here but it was never answered. So I will ask again to be 100% sure.

01 on bottom and 87 on top.



87 right and 01 left



This is the amount of penetration I am getting. The wear on the driveshaft is of course where it used to stick into the tcase.



Only getting 3-1/8" of penetration.



I have read that the #15005474 is 5" long/deep so I am not sure how it compares to the other adapters I have.

Any insight, I don't want to run this and have issues or break anything prematurely.

Anyone help with the QUESTION I have above? ^


One cool addition I made was installing a rear view mirror with the compass and temp gauge. Just got to mount it. I think it is neat anyways.



I also need help trying to hook up speedometer.

I worked on it forever last night.

The 2001 transfer case harness is on the left and the plug for the 241 VSS is on the right.



The harness has 2 male plugs that plug up under the hood near fuse box. I found one female plug for the harness right near fuse box but couldn't find the other to plug in. I grounded it and tapped the 91 vss wiring onto the 01 harness and couldn't get the speedometer to work at all.

I still need help on this. If I can do this I can take it for a trip to see how it does.

What I am doing is basically like if I was Solid Axle Swapping a 2001 Silverado with a GM Dana 44 and NP241 passenger side drop.
