automatic to a six speed help

I have a 2000 with a automatic in it and it is going out and I want to put a six speed in it and I was wondering how hard it would be and if there is a kit or what all parts i will need any help will be great

I am not aware of any kits for a swap, but i am pretty sure you are going to need another PCM from a manual truck to start with. Way cheaper to fix the auto.

you will need a donor truck for parts. trans, pedal assembly, steering column, computer, floor pan, crossmember, and probably driveshaft just to name a few things.

Do a search. Someone here has done and (I think) documented this already.
