welcome freddie... nice truck i love my truck, and i love my trucks transmission even more listen to the man posting above me... he WILL NOT steer you wrong!

great times - keep us posted

improved

not too many people have switched over successfully yet.... the ones that have (that i know of) kept it AWD, thatd be my maind goal... though i see going to 2wd not only being fun, but beings possib. cheaper great info tho illa bet someone on here will pick up your 80e damn skippy if you were to "advertise" it in the for sale section... good luck with the sale and thanks for the offer

yeeeeah ANYWHO... approx. how much "more" drivetrain loss are we looking at here with a 4L80 as opposed to a 4L65 eh?

i was gonna say... thats a killer spot for a decal .... looks good joe - i doubled up on hose/worm clamps and tied mine back to the bumper bracket... hasnt failed me yet!

will do mr. blown now about that beer...

i gota ya... good information right there aboot the fluids... somethin i would not have thought aboot at all... (i just figured that since this time im crossing my fingers and going a lil further, i would at least get something diff. than GM fluid) - maybe should have done a lil more research on the fluids before purchasing $120 worth of royal purple , well... i used to date a hot chick that works at murrays (her father is district manager or something) maybe i can tie loose ends and hopefully exchange/return all of it either way its a good excuse to see her boobs... ? interresting thought/opinion on the servos... i may consider giving that a shot (i still have some time before i get to work on her - waiting on parts at this point in time) thanks for the killer info Ben - aprecieate it greatly

same thing with my mohawk haircut.... part of me likes it, part of me thinks it looks stupid.... to each is own, you only live once, make sure your happy thats all...my opinion... if you like it f'n

i thought you were selling the truck? consider yourself lucky tho... in my opinion that trans has lasted you quite some time now hasnt it? if you lived closer id give you a hand and knock it out in a jiffy dont give up hope just yet.. ill keep you posted, but i firmly believe this time around i may have the proper equation for "some" durability... that Pulse control solenoid from transgo is meant for blown applications.... this'll be my first time testing one of those... i have yet to hear much about them, but i know monster transmissions all come with one - speaking of monster, all the parts on my current list follow just aboot to the "T" what they use in theirs (their torque converter may be diff, im not sure) just about everything is the same and they guarantee it to be strong enough for over 600 horsepower... question is... AWD 600 horsepower? 600 horsepower daily? or 600 horsepower "every once in a while, when your feeling spunky"?? well see.... (good luck to you aswell SS--Blown.... well get through this and come woodward time... well have a beer and laugh aboot it)

thanks guys, i truely aprecieate the support... its quite frustrating being timid or aprehensive to "get on it" every now and again worrying aboot the consequences... even worse when you drive to your good friend zippy's house or the drag strip 40 min away (i know im fortunate enough to have a strip that close, and have a friend like zippy - trust me im not bitching about either) but it just means that big of a towing bill if say an output shaft takes a frumpy ya know? oh well... its the risk you take when you cant leave shit alone.... at least i have you guys for the moral support... thanks again -slut (not of the female sort caugh caughbackinblackcaughcaugh)

at least the labor is cheap btw, monster transmission and performance is making a stronger output shaft... also, a lot of my parts were purchased at monster and/or oregon performance transmission, in case anyone was wondering... once again, wish me luck... not only with the trans but the other mods i am currently doing

-i have broke pretty much just aboot every hard part, output shaft, shell, reaction gear, sprag, pump... im probably leaving some parts out.... and the most common would be burning up clutches... -many many "beef-ed-up" parts in there now... as meantioned in my first post "the beast" sun shell... hardened this, hardened that etc... -no aftermarket "hard" parts have failed me... just "high perf" clutches and band burning up... -no i have not tried an aftermarket tranny, i dont see it necessary (if you follow the parts list i posted up above, it includes mainly the same "beefed-up" hard parts as well as clutches/bands/steels that the aftermarket companies use in their trans-s... incl. the solenoid for boosted applications.

Well... this is it, my last time re-building my 65, if this fails, theres no question about it, i will be swapping to an 80, if anyone is interrested... this is what my "last chance" 4L65E will consist of... - Trailblazer torque converter - Zippy Shift kit - Superior Servos (all) - upgraded boost valve - "The Beast" Sun Shell - Red Alto Racing/Kolene 3/4 Clutch Pack (9 Clutch) - O.P.T. 13 Vane Hardened Pump kit w/unbreakable rings - 29 Element Sprag - Red Alto Racing Wide 2/4 Band - Transgo Performance Pulse Control Solenoid (P/N 46-MOD) - Red Alto Racing/Kolene Forward Clutch Set - Red Alto Racing/Kolene Reverse Gear Drum clutch pack - Low/Reverse Heavy-Duty sprag w/hardened steel inner race - B&M Supercooler, in-line with stock trans cooler - 8 to 10 qts. of Royal Purple Trans Fluid wish me luck fellas.... i hope it at least lasts this summer... and the new mods im doing caugh caugh
