700r4 diesel tranny differences??
« on: July 05, 2010, 03:35:19 PM »
Hi there i have a 83 chevy k10 shortbox 4x4 that has a 350 with a 700r4 tranny. I bought a 87 suburban with a 6.2 diesel and a rebuilt 700r4 tranny that was beefed up. I bought the truck cheap for parts for my shortbox and my tranny is a bit on the weak side.. Just wondering what the differences are between the gas and diesel transmissions and if it would work for me?? I have been told different torque convertors, and a governor anything else? Would it be worth it to put this tranny in or should i sell it and buy a gas one? any info is greatly appreciated. thanks

Essentially just the converter stall speed. Otherwise run the diesel 700R4

See how it shifts and if you aren't happy with it you can easily tweak it with a transgo reprogramming kit.
