GM made one for the 6.2/6.5 trucks that came equipped with them

The only problem with this is that the controller has diesel shift points and not gasoline motor shift points, so you might have problems there. I put the 4l80e in my 84 but I have TBI so I didnt have to worry about adding all the sensors.
 
or you can just run a diesel with the factory 4L80E diesel computer and be good ;)

Yeah, TCI is the shiz, I got their controller for mine and I love how you can customize everything. How sweet it is.

im going to run the stock standalone diesel computer for now, but i will probably get the TCI unit once i find a good deal on one
 
thanx yall im seriously consitering building up a short bed pickup with glass desert racer fenders lots of suspention travel and a HUGE big block as many cubic inches as i can afford lol. the 4l80e should hold up to about 800 street hp. with a huge displacement ill still be able to run pump gas this time around i want a pickup that will suprize mustangs and camaros while running 35"+ tires lol
