Trying to make my mind up now. Thinking about a th350 and I would do it in a heart beat but I like driving it on the street. It would be faster with the th350 but it would suck to dd it. It was the U-joint that caused it so I may just put it back the way it was and put some monster U-joints in it.

for the price of one of those Gear Vendor's overdrive units, he could build and swap in a 4l80e. which may not be a bad option for you either Greg

I was thinking about that but I don't know what it would take to put the 4l80E. Have you done some research and found out what it costs for the 80seats swap?

I've been working on the research for about 3 weeks now. I am going with the 4L80E. Here is one link and you will have to buy a $200 harness for the swap (Speartech sells one). A little hammering on the tunnel and programming changes. I know this is over simplified, but I have decided to go this route.

O ya the car started right up today and the motor is fine!! We are going to fix the 60e for now and see if I can get some big U-joints. I do need to take the drive shaft in to get it repaired because it destroyed one of the ears on it.

I bought a 02 AWD Denali today that was rolled for parts, does anybody know what engine and trans they have? Lq4 or lq9? Engine cover says vortec 6000 and 317 heads. What trans is it? It's short with a transfer case. Is it the same as 4x4 chevy trucks? Complete drop out with full harness, computer, trans will be $1100. It has 98k miles any other parts u need pm me.

I think the vortec 6000 is the lq4 the vortec 6000 HO was the lq9

I wouldn't bet my paycheck on that but in 2002 I think it would be the lq4 (aluminum block)

I believe it is a iron block I'll confirm in morning, I'll sell the trans for $300 but i think it will only work on 4x4 and AWD trucks bc it's real short for transfer case to bolt to. I believe it's a 4l80e but it's real short. Would be a good deal for someone looking for a 6.0 bc it's complete and u could sell the tranny and get most ur money back.

Denali's I think got the lq9 dave. pretty sure. and if he buys the trans, I may be interested in the rest. lq4 and lq9 will both be iron block. biggest difference being the heads and comp ratio

and yes that should be the 4l80e
