427 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Installed the 80E in the SS. The 65E was just the pump after 13,000 trouble free miles, but I am driving on power tour and just don't want to take the chance. The driveshafts are over getting shorter/ longer. Added a rear mount to original crossmember to hang the 80E or go back to the 65 without problems. The cooling lines needed to be modified. There is some wiring issues to address but its coming along nicely. I will try and post some pics if I figure out how on this sight! Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 i'll be coming out there in a couple weeks. gotta check that out. SSplaytoy, i don't think everyone is running an 80E. there is no conversion kit. jon, he has access to the parts because of the line of work he's in. not available to the general public.

BenKey Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 No kit for a conversion, per se, but all the parts are out there or can be fabbed. All but one of course. It's the only topic of discussion when it comes to the 80. Maybe that part isn't all too available to the general public. Maybe whoever made it doesn't understand the potential demand. Whichever, it sure would be nice to disclose the source if nothing else. Sure would relieve a lot of people's minds on here about adding more power.

TurbochargedBerserker Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Kurt offered to tell me where to get that part, but in the end, I decided that knowing where the part was wouldn't help much from the grave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 The part that mates the 80E shaft to the transfercase is special on my truck. I have put in a order for more. If all works out, we will offer this part for sale in the near future. Waiting patiently to leave starting line at 10psi+............

j4nash Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 so is it going to work with the AWD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Yes. The AWD system is intact. The trans is longer so the driveshaft needs to be longer on the front axle and shorter on the rear. Kurt so is it going to work with the AWD <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 is this the same transfercase that was on coolside II? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know those two words could be used together and have meaning. I mean 'too slow' I understand, and 'two fast' I think was some movie about rice, but 'too fast'? Kurt let us know if that works out. I think Chuck has a 65E option that will last me a season, but time will tell on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427 Posted April 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 We are using the original transfercase out of my truck. We just had the input gear changed to one with the 80E spline. The Coolside was a new venture gear case also. Kurt is this the same transfercase that was on coolside II? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
