Message: [QUOTE="Chris, post: 806042, member: 400"] Sledpull, if you get a chance you really should drive a 6.0 or 6.4 w/ a 4r in it. The way the engine responds to the 4r makes a lot of difference. its the best part about doing the swap. the 4r swap isnt just great because it gives you a reliable transmission, its great in that it moves the truck so much better through out the entire powerband. The reason i posted in this thread is the op asked about guys that have experience with a 4r in a truck originally equiped with a 5r. There still arent a lot of guys out there that have made the swap and there seems to be a bit of false info and confusion about the swap. It absolutely is NOT for everyone. but those that are contemplating shouldnt worry about driveability, check engine lights, or any lost functions besides cruise control at this time. We will be working on a fix for the cruise control in the next few weeks, and hopefully once thats taken care of it will fit the mold for even more folks. I wont lie, it does get old seeing "dont do this...ive SEEN, or ive HEARD, or ive BEEN AROUND" in techinical threads such as this. a lot of guys need to spend a little less time on the forum and a little more time with their hands on a truck before they offer some of the advice they do. itll make the info even more valuable on here with real world experience. Im definately not a 5r hater. ive had great luck getting even stock ones to live at decent power levels, but at the same time ive dealt with enough of them to aknowledge their problems. once you drive a 6.0 or 6.4 w/ a 4r in it, youll have a hard time wanting anything else.
