So... I did it

+400 for the 80e being a much better/stouter trans! Stick with delco/Delphi parts, anytime you can, for sure.

My 6.5 with a 4l60e has done almost 350,000km and haven't been rebuilt even once, only the regular oil/filter change every 40,000km. Previous owners have been towing pretty much with the car too and still feels like brand new, but i guess they hold up fine without torqueing too much and my car is pretty stock..

I have no complaints with my 4L80E, but the two 4L60E's I've had didn't last

Alright, thanks guys. I figures it was BS that I was hearing. I got a few badges off, and put the new emblem on. I still need to do the side moldings, but I got the tailgate emblems off, and 4x4 stickers off the side.

Looks good so far! Not sure how I feel about removing the 4x4 decals, I think there's just too much open space there afterwards.
I love the tailgate badging! I wonder if something could be done to make that work on an SUV with barn doors?
The PYOs still look great on there too!

Stickers on the body is cheesy. It looks great

Them damn PY0s are so sexy, I need to find some for mine I'm so jelly

I know we're past the 4L60E or 4L80E debate, but I figured I'd throw in my two cents. I'm going to be on my third 4L60E soon in less than 4K miles, and my truck is completely stock under the hood...

6.5s don't make any power that's why lol.

I have to say, I'm pretty happy about the tailgate emblem, the 4x4 stickers being gone, and how well the PYOs look. It doesn't stand out to most people, but I definitely love this truck. Now to get it solid white, paint the under carriage, and do some work on it.
