So same cooler line fittings right? Diffrent locations i know. How about running a lower cover? My grandad never had one on his chevelle. And it sat for 20 years in dirt and never had any issue. (Both seals leaked as you would expect) so idk. I hear its structural. I dig your trans mount too my man. Not good, but i like it.

Same cooler lines. I don't run the cover because they are a pain to get in and out if anything happens. Some people say they run cooler without it (inter webs says it's true so it has to be..) Cross member has worked for over 75k miles so it's gotta be good. Thanks for watching

What is the pressure on a trans cooler line? Is the rubber hose rated for the pressure or was steel line used just for redundancy?

It's transmission cooler hose design3d for that application. 300 psi max line pressure.

It can be done. The Black Box ECM can be tuned with EFI live. You would have to find an operating system with a 4l80e and reprogram to that.

Lol he doesn’t mention the intercooler or the wastegate actuator which is probably the reason for getting the 4l80e in the first place! 🤣

Was this install on a 4wd vehicle. I have a z71 tahoe 08

@autovationFtWorth

3 ай бұрын

No 2wd but the install is very similar. You would need a 4wd output shaft, a transfer case adapter. The rear driveshaft would have to be shortened and the front one built longer. Your stock transfer case might work, just have to do some research.

Do you know if one will fit in a 09 colorado?

How does it drive? Slower? Feels heavier?

@autovationFtWorth

6 ай бұрын

It drives great, I couldn't tell you about slower because I put a turbo on it at the sa,end time. It's got about 75k trouble free miles on it. The only real difference is about 200 rpm higher on the freeway because of the overdrive ratio difference.

@@autovationFtWorth oh really? I have looked at the over drive gear ratio but I do know that 1st gear is longer than 1st in a 60e. I have a custom built iron 6.2 that I’m putting a supercharger on for about 10psi of boost so I’m hoping to make around 600wheel on. But I was hoping the 80e didn’t eat up a whole bunch of power of feel lazy.

60e will not live a long life at that power level. I shelled 1 stock and 2 'built' 60e's in my LS swapped s10 blazer. 5.3, small cam, springs and headers, no power adder. The only key to making a 4l80 live is leave it in 3rd when you're beating on it.
