    4l80E Low on Fluid

    I mean I let her warm up to temp drove it around a bit then came back to check the level while truck was still on and the fluid was reading extremely low. Prompt me to get under the truck but there is no clear indicator of where the fluid had leaked out.

    Need measurements for Front End

    I'll have to check the knock outs. Trucks been sitting for a while. 2wd. The idea behind the measurements is if its my A arms i can just buy new ones when I lower the truck do it all at once. Or if its the frame. Gotta find a donor or someone who can straighten it.

    AC blows cold but Volume of Air sucks

    With all the dust here in AZ I think mine will be caked. Not to mention the wife likes to clutter random stuff at her feet all the time.

    AC blows cold but Volume of Air sucks

    I'll have to check out the evap. However my connecter did melt. Everything works but the connecter for the blower/fan (power connector right behind the glove box) is half there lol.

    AC blows cold but Volume of Air sucks

    Alright all, I have 97 3500 with 454 cc. Problem here in az it gets stupid hot. My AC blows COLD as could be BUT the sheer amount of air is laughable (Feels like a solid 3 setting from a newer chevy) even on max settings. Blower simply not blowing enough air. It almost to the point where mind as...

    Possible Bad Ignition Switch?

    I was being sarcastic about the spacer. I know what your talking about however I honestly don't think I have one. I'll check when I get home tonight. Might look into crimping them all to 1 connector.

    Possible Bad Ignition Switch?

    err.. What spacer... lol.. I'll have to check cause I don't think I even have a spacer between the 2 positive wires. Really hope that's the case cause the ignition switch is a little more expensive than I thought it'd be.

    Possible Bad Ignition Switch?

    Hey guys so I got a problem thats got me stumped... Trucks a 97 cc 3500 with 454. Brand new Alt and battery is fine for now. (Just take this as a note). OKAY so here's what happens. I was driving to work one day and the truck cut ALL power to everything for a split second. Everything came...

    Which Tranny Should I get?

    Which brings me to the next question. Since I did some digging and saw that yes the vans did have them. Is there a size difference? That also brought me into the 6l90e but I have a feeling that trans is big too so probably stick to the 85e.

    Which Tranny Should I get?

    What diesel company is that? I might wanna reach out and ask a few questions.

    Which Tranny Should I get?

    So looks like I might have to find another trans. I don't wanna be a baby driving it. Wanna have fun and not worry about. ( I mean anyone that looked up this swap even with a cheap engine still expensive af)

    Which Tranny Should I get?

    I rather not row gears as I rather have that in a sports car (That project has already been sold off didn't quite like it.). I know the 4l80e is pretty tough stock (I put a 20k # Cyclone Toy Hauler on mine and it did fine.. Slow but pulled it great) but from what I read its the low end torque...

    Which Tranny Should I get?

    Hey guys no where near starting this pita project but just brain storming as I will once I get some other bugs worked out. So on my 97 cclb c3500 Dually I plan on swapping out the 454 for a LMM/LLY/LBZ Duramax (I can get my hands on any of the 3 for fairly cheap haven't decided which one yet)...

    Air Bags with B&W hitch

    So what I did on my DRW was I simply took those side bolts out and left them out while the B&W plate when right on top of the "ear". Also not sure but the bracket pictured seems to have the bag stick out a bit. I'll get a few pictures of my setup when I get home.

    Losing Power

    Alright so I got a weird issue and I can't seem to track it down. What makes it worse is this same thing is happening to my brothers 04 Avalanche (Ironically). So here goes: First off 97 Chevy 3500 454 has roughly 126k miles. To the Problem: The problem is I have intermittent power loss...

    Hughes Transmissions - Any Experiences?

    Great tranny. Buy direct if possible because its cheaper. Summit and what not put quite the mark up on them. (I know because they're right down the street from me). With them being right around the corner everyone who wants performance go to them. They tend to ask A LOT of questions before...

    locking TC in 4L80 questions

    If you have a black bear tune. Send it back and tell them your towing. My 4l80e is seeing a 18k toy hauler behind it. When empty its annoying (for me at least) when trying to drive normal and feel the damn thing lock up as soon as it shifts into OD (4th) its feels like 2 quick shifts. You feel...

    Getting up to speed with 4l80e

    Ok, I will just deal with it as I don't move it often. I moved it maybe 3 times. I plan on getting a bigger truck later but I gotta save some coin for that. The trailer by the way is a 45ft Cyclone Toy Hauler.. Truck takes the weight into bed great even with no air in the bags it doesn't sag...

    Getting up to speed with 4l80e

    I'm towing an 18k trailer, I mean I could try give more gas to get it to go. For me once I hit about 35mph going faster isn't a problem. However getting to 35/40.... Takes some serious time...
