I like how you all failed to tell how much of a super bitch the top bolt on the bell housing is to get to. Regardless a pretty good video.
What happens to these trucks when y'all are done with them
I notice they never check the spacing between the torque converter and flywheel to ensure a save position of the torque converter neck and transmission pump. You don't want the torque converter shoved all the way to the pump. You want a little spacing to allow for expansion from heat, but too much spacing can cause unwanted wear on the tabs the neck of the torque convertor locks onto as well as odd wear on the pump drive. I typically go for about 1/8th spacing between the torque convertor and the pump. So if the spacing between the torque converter and the flywheel is 1/4, I'll put in 1/8th spacers to ensure proper spacing at the pump.
Is it just me or does the sing song journalist style delivery of the host get on your nerves?
Nice build, and paint job, …Poor seats got left out !
Why a cat back over a true dual exhaust?
They didn't make a vehicle called "Silverado" until 1999. That is a plain old C/K truck. If it has the trim package that doesn't make it a "Silverado"…
I have a question for on how to put a 350 in a Mitsubishi transmission s it. Possible to be done thank you bring your information
What are you gonna do about those shitty OE brakes?
BOOOO Keep the cat off bro
What do you need those gloves for?
Emissions compliant, how is that emissions compliant.
I liked this build but it kills me they went back with an Auto.
Where can I find info on this build?
So the “stall point” is when the engine rpm becomes insufficient enough to spin the impeller fast enough to spin the turbine ei. 1500 stall means that below 1500 rpm the brakes hold the turbine back enough that it sits idle but above 1500 rpm the impeller engages creating pressure to spin the turbine thus engaging the transmission. Yes?
Thank you SOOOO MUCH for the torque converter demonstration! Call me a simpleton but I never really understood how a converter worked but that just clicked with me along with the video so again, THANK YOU!
i have a chevy 1989 1500 do you think can helping to do something like that? its all original i would like to have it nice and perfect but sometimes money does not help out your dreams much i had this truck since high school graduation…. thanks!
What book was that for the transmission build and who rebuilt this 4l60e? Dont recall hearing anything mentioned about the company that provided the upgrade. Also, the link isn't provided for the book nor the transmission companies link? Thanks.
Man i love the content i subscribed
“We’re in good shape”
"MADE IN THE USA" is the right phrase.
America is a continent not a country.
Stay away from anything with tci stickers on it
Fueltech FT600 The Best.
A trick I used to do in the 70's (teenager needing to cruise ; ) in replacing a transmission was to straddle the car over the front yard drainage ditch… you could easily get under it then : )
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS THO TODAY, lol
the 4L60E and 4L80e was discontinued in 2013, it was replaced by the 6L80E.
You set the maximum shift rpm and the rev limit the same at 6,000 rpm. Shouldn’t the rev limit be set a little higher?
13.2 afr at idle is abit rich I’ll stay
That early model with the bottom open is nice as long as you dont break the bell housing and damn you can use an impact on that heat shield shit thats way more room than my 04 silverado or 03 suburban
why did u turn a truck into a car! lower? not my truck i want high performance truck. not a car!
Actually there is a mechanical connection…it is the fluid. The torque converter is basically a liquid controlled clutch system.
That single cat is way too small and mounted too far downstream…doubt it would ever pass CA smog test. Should be one per bank before the Y.
Nothing like a low buck sport truck that cost almost 30 grand.
The Best way to Dial in a 4L60E is by Tunning it to a 4L80M 😆
You know they put the cat in there just so they won't get sued😂
My one complaint to this build.. should have done a true dual exhaust.. meaning 2 sets of pipes ran, 2 sets of mufflers. That motor is still hampered due to being singled into 1 muffler
No longtubes……lame
Did make a mistake,run the torque converter bolts up and tighten them up.This is a no no,can break the front pump and damage the flex plate.Before bolting the torque converter,pry it up with a screwdriver first and then bolt it up.Rebuilt transmissions,never use the old torque converter over again.Does not know how to use a clicker style torque wrench right,stop when it clicks!Jerking on it gives a false torque reading.
Great video & content. I thank y'all for all…
Why don’t you have a pump on that truck from Aleskyfinis
Harbor freight sells a cheap trans jack for doing it in the driveway.
nice video …
There's nothing low buck about this truck!
how is a y pipe exaust conciderd dual exaust im confused????
Why why why would you put a freakin y pipe in there???
when you install the flexplate bolts one of the holes is going to be an oval-shaped while the other two are full circular-shaped so you install the oval shaped bolt first the other two will line up. Itss oval shaped to be tight against the major diameter of the threads on the flexplate bolts.
To much shit and not even adding e-fans😑
