thanks squad for that, i think i was reading on advanced adapter's website and they mentioned the 4wd reluctor ring and somehow confused it with needing it on the 2wd. tell you what guys it seems like i think i have covered all the bases and then something else pops up!
one more thing guys, the reluctor ring on the 4l65e doesn't need to be there right? i have a guy building up a 2wd one to use with the mark's adapter kit and he asked me if i need it.
for those that put in a 6.0l, i'm doing a lq9, did you have to relocate the ac compressor? just wondering because spear tech specifically asked and i don't have the engine yet to determine it and if it doesn't then i can get them to start the wire harness right away.
