Re: 05 gmc 4l60e swapped into 03 chevy 1500

Okay, that sounds about right. Any recommendations on the filter? Its a z71 package on the new truck, so that might make it easier to find a place for one, but i would have no clue where to even start looking for a place to put one.

As far as the diffs go, I was originally going to just swap out the whole rear axle, but the different ratios made that a hard pass. It was going to be difficult enough to swap brake systems, since the old one was rear drums, but to add swapping out the front diff too would just make it way too much work for a winter project with no other daily driver or heated garage space haha.

So lets say theoretically, I go ahead with the carrier swap. Do you think I would make it through winter (maybe 8k miles)? Or would that be a stretch? If I had the funds I would just get myself a new set of gears, but that is just not an option for me right now.
