Just curious, what are your concerns with the 4l60E? I daily drive a SSV 2007 and the trans is smooth as silk. Did a 2012 ppv with the 6 speed and the trans pretty much felt the same. IDK, maybe I just don't pay enough attention to the trans shifting. Also, did the old cam have a wiped out lobe? Or was it a collapsed lifter causing the noise and misfire?

@hullinger

5 жыл бұрын

Hey man, my first experience with a 6 speed auto was in the Caprice PPV. That trans was always in the right gear no matter what speed I was going. The 4l60E just wants to get into overdrive as quick as possible. With the 4 speed, there is a big drop in RPM's between 1st and 2nd gear and it's like you're waiting for the RPM's to build up again. The 6 speed doesn't have that problem. Plus, you know, a bigger cam moves the power band moves up so now you're waiting for the power to come on again. Just my thoughts! -Chris

Hello Chris, finally, the "good piece" is back to your home. Congratulations. That is a good message ! By the way: you all say "she" to a car. Is a car is female ? We in Germany say "it" because we regard it as a thing (not male or female). Otherwise, ....yes the Tahoe is big. if even you as Americans call the car big, that's interesting because you know big cars and use them every day. Incidentally, I had the 5.3 liter, 320 hp tahoe on one of my last US vacation as a rental car. I had my whole family (four people) with me it was a great size for us.However, I was a little disappointed with the acceleration (That's what I also described in my second Autobahn-video where I'm traveling with my family car ) May be because of the huge weight that the tahoe is not really fast in the acceleration. if you are in a European car with only the half of horsepower you have a much better acceleration (I feel so). But may be due to your age-old gearboxes (the development of the gearbox is usually a long time ago) so that probably a lot of power in the transmission disappears before the performance even arrives at the wheels. a modern dual-clutch transmission would probably be better in the acceleration.. Greetings Frank from Germany

Hey man, thanks for checking out my Tahoe video and for your comment. I had a Caprice PPV for about a year and absolutely loved that car. Super fast, rock solid and comfortable. As for the Displacement on Demand delete, if there is no engine problems the basic delete kit is $300. You can also turn off the DOD through a tune for around $100. If there is engine ticking noises than you'll need to do what I did and spring for the $1250 kit from Texas Speed and Performance or any of the other parts guys out there. There's plenty of them to choose from. You'll not only need the DOD delete kit but also a new cam and lifters as well as whatever other parts you want to replace while you're inside the engine. My all-in repair bill was $4800 but there were a bunch of extras I choose to do like water pump, plugs, wires, exhaust, headers... which added about an additional $1K. -Chris

Hey man, on my Tahoe video the problem with the engine was the lifters and camshaft. Both needed to be replaced as the lifters were getting stuck and chewing up a cam lobe. The labor to replace just the cam and lifters would have been only a little less than the $2404 that I paid. I figured since the engine is already taken apart that I should replace the oil pump, exhaust manifold, water pump, belt, hoses, wires, plugs.... as well. If you wanted to replace just the things that were broken, than the parts cost would have been around $700 or so. I've got other vid's on my channel about how the Displacement on Demand system works and a run-down of the parts that I bought. -Chris
