Well to make a long story short im sick of making truck payments (at least higher ones) and I plan on buying some property within a few years. Im seriously thinking of selling my truck. The only thing is I just bought my trans about a month and a half ago. Im thinking out de-bombing my ride and selling nearly all my after market parts minus the intake and exhaust and buying a 12v for cheaper. My question is would my trans bolt right up? If not then what would I have to do in order to? As far a 12v's go I would like mine to eventually be very bombed. What is a good year? 97? 7100 the best pump? Any info helps guys...thanks a ton.

 

I'm not sure whether or not the 00 tranny is computer controlled, if it's not it should mount up. 96-98 would be the best trucks for bombing.

 

I did what your thinking about, though not for $$$ reasons but for reliabillity reasons ( VP FREE FOR ME ) I am very happy and absolutly dont regret it. I sold all the stuff that I couldnt use on the 12V ( Comp/ATS man/studs ect)and kept the stuff I could ( twins/gauges ect) since I stayed 98 to 98 there were no other differences. If you are buying a auto then the year wont really make much difference as far as power goes (only 96-8 standard trans trucks got the big pump) so just find the right truck and change out the pump if you want to. All 94-98 trucks had P7100 pumps in various hp configurations. 98 seems to be the big year as you got the newer dash and could get the Qcab.

 

Thanks for the info guys but is anyone sure about the tranny swap?

 

give suncoast a call and ask them if it will swap, I don't think you'll get a better answer anywhere else.

 

96-98 is the best year

anything with a 913 pump (aka the 215 pump) is gonna be great to u. Just look for a 96-98 manual.. but since u have an automatic trans already, i dont think it matters, they will have the 180 pump (the same years mentioned above) which is just as bombable as a 215 pump..
