What transmissions are pretty much a plug and play swap for our 98 K2500 TD Suburban?

[jrsavoie]

The transmission in our 1998 K2500 Turbo diesel Suburban is toast. What transmissions would be pretty much a plug and play swap or minor adaptations?

1998 and newer?

There was a 2000 K3500 CC dually for sale with a knock in the engine fairly reasonable. Would the trans work?

4l85E?

2000 should have an allison tranny with dmax engine.. You could make it fit but best be done with a dmax and tranny swap. It has been done by ferminator. read these posts http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/sh...a-Allison-1000-5-spd-4WD&highlight=ferminator

The ad said it had a 6.5 diesel in it. I didn't know. I thought maybe there was a possibility that a 2000 could have a 6.5

Duramax started in 2001. 2000 should have a 6.5

97+ 4L80/85E should plug right in and work. 95-96 will also work, but you would have to modify the cooler lines.

Just had my trans rebuilt last summer. I asked a friend mechanic if he knew anyone who would rebuild my trans. He hooked my up with a local guy who rebuilt my trans and added a hard part or two for $950.
