R150 5spd from 2nd gen onto 3.4 auto
I know they bolt up.. but do they line up length wise? anyone ever done this or know anything about it? I know its a bit of modding and clutch assembly needs to be put on and stuff.. but i want some more power out of my engine.. it weird.. my buddy has an 88 with a 10" lift with 36" TSL super swampers... he also has the 3.0 with 4.10 gears. hes 5spd. I have a 96 with teh 3.4 and auto and 4.30 gears running 285/75/r16 Kumho MT's.. he keeps up with me off the line... didnt race very far but he was right on me... is this normal? somethign wrong with me truck?

First, I applaud your desire to get a 5 speed. You will need to change the engine ECU by the way. But you and especially your buddy are misguided. A 5 speed will not give you any more power. Use the money to change the gears. :pat:

Yep, I hate autos, truly do. And not just because they convert a considerable amount of your horsepower to useless heat...

What's the worst case? have to shorten/lengthen drive shafts. Standard is the only way to drive, but it can get tricky in some offroad situations, just have to get used to it.
