Re: 5 speed trans choices

Depends on what you want to do

Light duty trannies include T-5, NV3500

Heavy duty would be NV4500

None of them are really bolt ins, per se. T-5 is the closest.

Both the T-5 and the NV3500 are true light duty - if you're planning on doing towing or hauling, especially with upgraded motors, you're wasting time with these

That said, for a 2wd truck you might be better off with a gear vendors or similar overdrive unit
