    So I have read several times people mention the 4t80 trans. How hard would it be to go from 4t65ehd to a 4t80 or is it even worth it. Right now I have a car with no trans and if the 4t80 would be worth it I would just get one instead of another 4t65ehd

    Fabrication isn't a problem and my uncle sells me trans for scrap price. So basically the only problem for me is the electrical aspect.

    Do you know where to find the kit they mentioned? Also is it different when putting it in a gtp?
