Welcome to the Forum!

I wouldn't think so. Different computer, linkage and wiring. There were no eight speeds till 2013. But if it was done, there is a good chance if you did a search on 5.7 swap or 6 speed 8 speed swap you might run into a post from another member here.

Look up Sound German Engineering on facebook or his site.Russel has been putting the 8 speeds in damn near everything,even has one in his 71 Chevelle. Hunt up these 2 facebook pages,there's a guy right now putting an 8 speed in his 5 speed truck,i forget his name but if you search either site you should be able to find him

Night and day better than the old 4/5/6 speed. Now finally in the 2500 too. I have the 8 speed in my 500 foot pounds of torque with tune 14 Ecodiesel. Truck used commercially for towing 665,000 miles now. Zero repairs on this transmission. 6 fluid changes 3 filter changes.
