Welcome.

Sounds like an interesting swap. My experience with that vintage truck is that many of the components on diesel trucks aren't shared with gas jobs so I'll bet it was quite a bit of work. Did you change the wiring and the chip to match the 4L80E? What is the four letter code on the chip you're using now? Do you have Tunerpro set up to view and log the ALDL data from the pcm?
