My Dad owned an automatic transmission shop back in the day. When I was a kid I used to work there. We never pre filled the torque converter. The pump does that for you.

Same, my best friends dad owned a transmission shop when I was young then my friend took over years later and I worked there off and on over the years and never prefilled a torque converter or ever seen one prefilled. Their shop had the best reputation in the Pittsburgh area

Torque converter fill with no funnel and no mess was next level sh%t!

You need to hook that man up, he has been kicking ass with you. My vote is for the work's on his radio.

Always flush out the trans cooler best you can or install an inline filter to catch the debris from the last grenaded transmission.

Hi John. Ok so here is a little story: in 2006 a local Chevy dealership had an ad where they would give you some crazy trade in amount on anything that you could drive onto the lot. That combined with a bunch of manufacturer an dealer discount should have allowed me to get a brand new 2006 work truck with a 6 cylinder and a stick-that was all I wanted, and even the short bed would have been fine, but it did not have air conditioning. That one would have been $7,750 Still a smoking deal. Almost got it, clearly click bait I guess for 18 years ago. I asked what was the next step up. It was basically what you guys are working on. V8, auto, 8 foot bed and air conditioning. I was out the door including tax for $10,200!! I had it for 2 years put about 4,000 miles on it-actually it was loaned out to friends more often than me using it! Very handy but not getting a ton of use. I think I could have power braked the right rear tire off in about 3 minutes if I wanted to! I had it over 100 more than once, and it was awesome to pass people on a highway! I doubt 0-60 was much under like 8 seconds. In the end I got tired of looking at this basically brand new truck being parked in front of my house (I had several other cars and trucks at the time too) A contractor that was doing some work for me asked if I would sell it-I think I got $15,000 for it. So basically a free truck. I would do that again if I could!! What are you saying, new basic ones are like $40,000? 4x in 18 years. Wow! Good luck with yours!

Ive got one of these trucks in a short wheel base 2wd with 360k in mileage and just for fun did a 0-60 in 7.6 seconds at a 5k elevation with the draggy. Its one of those trucks that just keeps going.

GM absolutely used different color oil pump to pickup tube depending on the motor but I am sure a Felpro becomes a catch all.

Where's the Android Stereo....might as well get Eric a Subwoofer

Impressed with the clean valve train. JR you have to give Eric a good sound system for the work truck. Hope you are feeling better.

Eric said, put a few hours into it and it will run another 200k miles. Nope, it doesn't matter, he'll sell this one and buy another before the end of the week. LOL

I miss Kragen's, mostly because their jingle was much better.

JR common the work truck Sierra needs an Atoto head unit.

just curious, how bad was the transmission on a scale of one to ten? ten the worst? did you catch it time, do very little work after you got it back? are u good as new, for another four hundred thousand plus miles?

unfortunately the way the transmissions are tuned from the factory makes them a bit of a slouch, i used a diablo tuner and it definitely helps with shift points with a 91 tune on my 01 silverado

How is O'Reillys not a major sponsor??🤔🖖

Ha! That’s way more ‘normal people’ truck. Good work!

In Georgia, they called the 4l60e transmissions $700 transmissions for this exact reason. $700 bucks to fix

My transmission came out to about a 1,000 dollars. 700 to rebuild the trans and about 300 labor and fluid and r&r.

Everyone needs to know a guy... the guy that saves you some major bank.

Isn't it supposed be dexron 6 fluid?

I would've got a remaned transmission with a warranty I usually drive them till they die.

Wish i knew a cheap transmission guy. My w56b needs a new input shaft bearing and nothing else.

Crossthreading = Nature's Loctite.

Nothing all that mysterious about rebuilding an automatic. Very few special tools needed and some you can make yourself. It depends on the time it takes plus how many hard parts are shot in addition to the usual rebuild parts that get changed every time. If it was just slipping some and not totally destroyed, the cost isn't too bad. Cleanliness is important.

Over $600 and the IRS becomes proctologists, poor guy got put on blast for $51.

Ordinarily, if someone besides you bought the truck, or were looking at buying it, would it be worth all this trouble to fix it up? I mean if someone were paying a mechanic to ďo the work.

Why wouldn't it work fine? It's a 4L65E! The more rebuilded transmission in the US i guess! Everyone could rebuild one ....not that hard to do. Anyway, 800usd with TC included is cheap af for sure. That right there tells you he is not using upgraded parts inside, but it's ok. They work just fine with std parts...just live longer with upgrades. Pre-filling the TC, that's not really needed. It's an old school tip, but if you fill safer doing it, just go for it. You aren't doing something wrong there...for me the worst part of pre-filling is that if you pour more than a Qt inside the TC, it might drip a little when you install it in the gearbox, and that could be misunderstood as an oil leak. So, that's why i prefer installing them just with a drop of oil. Nice camera...it looks awesome. Keep up the good work guys, peace!

The 727 is pretty easy and usually can take a lot of abuse but because of the stage two shift kit and driving it like I stole it with a healthy 318 with some bolt ons I was able to break it a couple of times. Downshifting to first at 50 and manually upshifting a lot with a hard shifting kit will do that 😉😊
