    Coolant loss 5.7 vortec

    When you state 'tank' - are you referring to the coolant overflow bottle? The plastic bottle?

    Coolant loss 5.7 vortec

    I'm aware of how stupid this sounds, but I honestly don't know.. I have a 99 Tahoe, but it only has rear AC, no rear heat. Yet I am still experiencing the exact same problem original poster shared... any chance of small, slow, coolant loss w/ rear AC and not rear heat? probably not huh? I'm stumped.

    Should I transfer OEM Trans Pan Magnet to new pan?

    Good-morning, Discarding my old 4L60E pan, and picked up one from LMC truck that has a drain plug, and the drain plug is magnetic. Should I transfer my old magnet out of OEM pan, to the new LMC pan, or is the magnetic drain plug enough for the need? thanks in advance.

    4L60E Transmission Pan Broken

    Well, I got to see a glimpse of your comment. Also, I only selected 'engines' as I was doing this as preventative maintenance, and engines had more responses that transmission and I was looking for immediate response. The picture I posted, is not the pan. the pan was removed in that photo. the...

    4L60E Transmission Pan Broken

    I appreciate the advice/input, seriously, thank you. I've always been big on preventative maintenance and doing stuff by the manual, and I can honestly say I've never had anything like this occur before. 30 minute job turning into 3+ day job. thanks for hoping on and chatting.

    4L60E Transmission Pan Broken

    yeah - it's broken at a slight angle. I have a tap and die kit, so I was looking to clean the hole up a little bit and then create the internal threading. That's why I went ahead and ordered all new bolts for it, hoping the new AC Delco bolts specifically for this, M8X1.25 would at least be able...

    4L60E Transmission Pan Broken

    I would like to be able to fix it as correctly as possible... JB Weld putty sounds decent initially, but are there any chances (even slim chance) that it could ever eventually break off and get into the transmission or pan? getting in pan doesn't matter too much I guess.. i don't know. I am...

    4L60E Transmission Pan Broken

    Yeah it's a ****** situation but it's been a good truck I care a lot about. I want to do it as correct as possible, so that if I'm fortunate enough to need to change transmission filter again in 70-80k miles, it can still be done. Right now I am waiting on new AC Delco pan bolts to arrive to my...

    4L60E Transmission Pan Broken

    Hello, Picked up a 99 2WD Tahoe recently, went to change transmission filter and gasket on pan. Everyone knows these are supposed to be snug, bout 120 inch pounds at MAX. well, 1 of the 16 bolts snapped in half. I then used an extractor bolt to remove the broken bolt, and while keeping it...

    What are the odds of successfully getting the manifold screws out of a 1992 with 260k miles?

    yupppp. best thing to do. I swapped mine out on my 99 that has 218k and soaking and soaking with penetrating oil was my best friend. started weeks in advance.
