I'm Awesome
So as some of you may know, my venerable 1998 Chevrolet Suburban has blown up another 4L60E.
I was going up a bit of a grade when I heard a loud clanking noise, before loosing all gears.
These faliures all seem unrelated, since the first trans still shifted fine loosing reverse. Second one, apparently the torque converter failed killing the pump, and the third one (actually the same trans as the second, but "rebuilt) seems to have had some castoatrofic failure.
I am now faced with a dilemma on that to do. I technically do have a warrenty from the guy who rebuilt it, but that would mean that I'd have to take it out and ship it back to Colorado, and probably wait several months for a transmission that will probably blow up again.
Or do I do a manual swap?
Well, I think I'm leaning that direction.
I just got one question, will the NP241 in my Suburban currently bolt to the back of this '97 NV3500 I found on FB marketplace?
If not I may just try to find a 2wd Transmission/driveshaft. I don't want to spend too much money, and I'm willing to give up 4wd for a manual transmission.
Hell I would even be willing to swap in my spare Saginaw 3spd in the endeavor.
