haha yeah i know its a manual, but the skip shift gm puts on the T56 stock keeps you from being able to choose what gear you want to be in? i dont understand haha is it similar to a lockout or is it electronically done? well either way i wont have it on there. i just want a DD truck i can beat on off road and still pull decent gas mileage with 37s
Daryn_C - I was hoping you would post some pics of your install I am curious to see how it looks.

Well the truck is regeared to 4.56s to compensate for the increased tire size. so i assume it still gets stock mileage now since the 3.73s or whatever were replaced. if it does bog though i know i can find a set of 4.88 or if i wanted 5.13s, either way if i did have the 5.13s i think it would still get better mileage than it would with the 4L60

alright 2 questions: first has anyone came out with an adjustable master cylinder for the swap. i remember you guys talking about this a long while back but forget what the outcome was. and secondly i was looking into lightweight flywheels and clutches. can you use a fidanza aluminum flywheel with an ls7 clutch ? or what would be an appropriate clutch / flywheel for what i am looking to do?

Last I heard some company was still developing an adjustable master to install in the trucks, but I'm not sure if it has hit the market yet.
And for a heavy (relatively speaking) truck, I'd stick with standard flywheels and not the lightweight variety.

Ive had my t-56 for the last 3 months, its been great.
the only thing thats bugging me, is that my cruise does not work.
when i first had the swap done, the cruise worked, but the speedo was waaay off.
so i got a blackbear tune and had him give me the manual tune, after that my cruise has stopped working.
im curious what wires the cruise looks for to turn on/off, because im thinking the 5-speed wiring is different than the auto. btw i only have the wires hooked up for reverse lights,speedo, and the start wire hooked up to my brake
btw, its an 03 ext cab 4.8
