We ran one on our 5.4 but it had a 4r100. Not exactly the same but you should be fine. If u have overdrive u can wire it to a switch from what I remember based on the research I did 15 years ago.

Yup! I have never done one, but I think you'll need a switch for 4th gear like Juberafab said.

I would also recommend this:

little different part number but they say they work for the stock trans so im stoked!

i was just thinking that too Ryan i know when i was driving it the switch that was on top of the shifter broke but i spliced into it and extended it and drilled a hole in the cover the surrounds the steering column and mounted it there for the time being until i got it fixed correctly i would imagine i will do the same for the overdrive button

I had the transgo shift kit in mine as well. Made a big difference and I believe it made the trans last longer!
