Damn that sucks, gota love those Junk *** 4l60e's. Ill never own another one in my life built or not. Ive came to the conclusion it doenst matter who built it, what its made of. If its a 4l60e it is simply junk.

Yours was a flt right? I know another guy that busted one of those tranies last year...

Well I can't go this weekend cause I have to finish my x-mas shopping, can't go next weekend due to celebrating x-mas in Hanceville at my grandparent's house, and the 28th through the 31st I will be in the woods hunting Rudolph and his buddies. So unless we do it during the week I'll have to wait till the next one.

Well, whether I've moved to Auburn or not, I guess if we plan another meet, it would be on the weekend so I could always drive back up. So it doesn't really matter to me when or where it is.

hey vann does that tranny have OD? bc i was thinking of the TH350 or something like that which is bullet proof even though it doesn't have the OD. How does the 4L80E do against the 60E? Is it just as crisp shifts and stuff? What about fitment is it a direct bolt on or what school me a lil bit bout these 80E's?

Yep it has OD. Basically all its a TH400 with OD. Supposedly they can take anything you throw at them. They come stock in the 3/4 ton trucks. I got mine from a 2000 GMC 2500. They dont really have to be beefed up to handle some serious power. The shifts and stuff can be controlled with HPtuners so they can be made to feel the same.

It is a direct bolt in but there are some things you'll have to moodify/get. See this:

That should be enough enough reading for a bit...

What do you have a photoshoot for? Also I dont know if you were still planning on taking those springs off, but I went ahead and bought another set. So you dont have to worry about taking those off.

You finally get the hugger all straightned out?

Magizine Article

I had completely forgot about those springs...

I went to the track about 3 weeks ago first pass went 10.3 an hour later and a little playing 9.8 about 30 min later set it on the bumper with a 13.2 haha all had 1.4 60ft except for the last pass

So far I have only got Motor passes off in street trim (I also had Chrome ZR-1s on the front it was classic)

I am not 100% yet still rich still needs tuned... but its about as close as i can get it for now, the suspension needs played with a little... I think it has anothe 15-20hp hideing, I had it dynoed and put down some impressive numbers for 241 heads and a 90/90 set up
