It’s pretty much all been covered but I love my LQ4/4L80e setup. Love starting up in all weather, no more stalls from low vacuum, 6.5 seconds 0-60 (yeah a Tesla is faster but this is a 5000 lb truck!) and I can run regular from the pump and not worry about ethanol damage.

Swaps are fairly involved. For me, even as an electrical engineer the electrical part was the most daunting. But I went for a OEM harness instead of one of the packages. Had to build relays and an aux fuse box.

I paid $2300 for engine and trans and ended up around 5k all in.
