Only in a 1500 back then. That's just what I've found. 99-02 2500LD was 5.3/6.0 4L80E only.

I get stuff wrong all the time, so who knows.

the 99-00 2500 light duty could only be had with the 6.0 and 5-speed or 4L80.

no worries, its soooo easy to get them mixed up/so confusing the way GM set things up, there are many oddball combos out there...

For those of you with the MB diesels; how do the transmissions hold up?

all depending on how you drive it. my buddy shifts his manually b/c otherwise it's a slush box going through the gears.

from what i hear the 5sp is the way to go.

check out this peach!! $600 bucks!

maybe this weekend. gotta see if i can borrow the money first. truthfully i'm tired of driving my truck every day and dealing with the BS. not to mention i can save myself almost $150 bucks a week in fuel.

If it means you can keep the d-max I would say yeah seel the cummins. I have no doubt the RCSB Cummins would be bad to the bone but the d-max is so much closer to finished.

small update. i finally got to get back to work on this thing. i got the motor sitting in the chassis under it's own weight, made a trans mount and manaaged to get the cab over it. i've marked out what needs to be cut on the cab so maybe i'll get to that this weekend. i broke my foot sunday so it'll be fun gimping around.
