I will definitely say it is a project that I don't want to do again, and I put mine in a 99 so everything was just a bolt in swap except for the floor pan.
In all honesty I hate the zf6 after the swap. Unless towing is the only thing it does it is like having to get used to drive two totally different trucks. When I'm not towing I only use 2,4,6.

There have been a couple people do it. It is not a direct bolt in, it does not use the adapter plate that is already on the IDI.... They have said for the amount of work and very little gain, it was not worth it. 1 and 6th are basically the same ratios as 1 and 5, there is just one more in the middle....
There is at least 1 thread on her about this swap... it's been a while back....
Wow crazy... Completely the opposite here. ZF6's are huge money, and tired ZF5's are teetering on scrap if nobody claims them.

That's a good call, I've thought about doing it that way but forgot to put in the time. Thanks for the reminder!

Around here it's $1,000 or so for a 4x4 ZF5 and about half that for 4x2.
