Question swap 97 12Valve into a 99 24V?

Hi ya'all,

I am wondering if it would be a reasonably easy swap a 97 12Valve 5 speed into a 99 24Valve automatic. The 97 is reg cab LB and the 99 is ext/cab SB. Both 2500 trucks, the 99 has 4.1 gear ratio and my 97 has 3.7 "I think".

Thanks for any info or advice on this.

Why would you want to? the 24V engines rev harder and you could just do a P pump conversion

Hi Joem,

Reliability mainly I think, although I have not owned a 24 valve b4.
Thanks for reply.
