So the truck ecm is what you would use unless you opt for a stand alone unit, right?

 

if you have EFI live you can choose what you want for what i understand. but if you use HPtuners you have to send them your original file and a truck file they will merge them for you. but beware it takes up to 4 weeks for them to return it. so plan ahead if you do the swap.

 

Hey Zombie i sent you two pm's but im not sure if you got them. I was still wanting to set something up so i can check out the th400

 

I'm not sure how much power they hold stock. I know quite a few truck guys that launch their big truck in 4WD with FI or spray with nothing more then a shift kit and a larger cooler. They are pretty stout.

 

Dont forget you can run a 3/4 ton-1 ton truck pcm that uses a 4l80 in a Fbody. you just need to set the security code to none.

 

^^^ why would you do that ? you can just flash your factory pcm to work with the 4l80e.

 

easy answer. since it sometimes takes awhile to get the file back from HP after the 80e segment

the truck pcm and car pcm are 100% the same minus the OS inside. ive done various swaps using a truck pcm in a car with no issues

 

I use Hp and had mine swapped and it was just a few days if not nextday through "Frost" I belive.

Spoolin- I went with the 80e and would never look back. I bought it used for $350 then had it built by a local builder with a total price that is cheaper than most built 60's that I've seen.

 

Thanks guys im hoping to get my hands on one and maybe even the rossler t-brake once my kit is finished!

 

Talk to Geoff at www.engpwrsys.com. I asked him about it when he tuned my car and he does that in house at his shop. 4L80e is my next step.

 

I think I can get the 4L80 to run on a 4L60 tune....I am testing this weekend.

 

i dont run a turbo, but a procharger-i ran a 400 orig., but switched to a 4l80e,
i rebuilt it myself, trying to save money(remember that one) i orig made it man. shift, but lack of pressure and shifting thru 3 gears every stop got old
i bought another trans and switched v/b's, used an hd-2 kit, and a compushift
controler, (non comp. car) love the o/d and lockup
didnt really see a diff in et's, but those things are heavy, lol

 

Slow67 keep us updated with your testing!!

Thanks for the info forcd ind. I look forward to keeping the od

 

My 80e is completely stock. I have a tranny cooler and 3000 stall. It has held up to almost 3 years of daily driving (about 100k) and some track time. Race weight is 4600 lbs with driver. A fully built 60e can't do what the stock 80e has done. A friend dropped the pan and changed the filter and fluid about 6 weeks ago. We were amazed at how clean the pan and filter were. There was no clutch material in the pan and the filter looked like it was new.

 

$350! You got a pretty good deal! I got the one for my Red Silverado for $450.

T-Brake 4L80-E Those are pretty expensive, aren't they?

This is gonna be good! Keep us posted!

I'm hoping my Red Trucks 4L80-E lasts until I make my LQ4 into a 408, at that time I'm planning on building up the 80-E. All I'm planning on right now is a big cooler and a HD2 shift kit. I'm pretty worried though, my truck is a little bigger than yours!

 

I just bought my 80 out of a junk yard all I am gonna do is freshen it up a bit and put a shift kit in it along with this PY3600 should be fun.

 

4L80 tune is no longer required as long as you have a 4L60 tune.

i dont have a turbo but i do have a procharger , i love my 80 but i do wish the first gear was a little more steep and the OD was a little better but i broke 4 60s all in the first few months of having them in the car this one has out lasted them all
my car is 3742 with me in it has 3:73 gear i run a 26 in tall tire 2500 rpm at 70 and run 10s i love it
