    Wiring for a 4L60e 1996 c1500

    Hi everyone, I need the wiring diagram for the above transmission if possible. I have this idea ( be afraid, very afraid ). My trans only slips when it gets hot between 45-50 mph, going between 3rd and overdrive. I have done everything possible except rebuilding the trans to help it out...

    1996 5.0/5.7 vortec question

    So if what I have been reading is correct, the only real difference between the 5.0 and the 5.7 in the 1996 vortec is the bore. That and the exhaust. Am I reading this right? If so, I will just rebuild my 5.0 and bore it to a 5.7. I assume that i will also need to replace the heads. Let me...

    aftermarket tunes

    I recently installed BBK shorty headers with an evans fischer cat and magnaflow cat back exhaust system in my 5.0 vortec 1996 and it really made a difference in low to mid range torque. Smoothed out the engine nicely. It was expensive but well worth the money...

    Transmission replacement

    Hi, I need to know what year transmissions will fit in my 1996 silverado. It has a 4 speed AT with overdrive now with a 5.0 engine. I am upgrading the engine to a 5.7 and need to replace the trans as well. Any help is appreciated. Dan

    Changing the shift points on a 4l60e

    I have a 96 1500 that runs pretty well. I have serviced the trans and installed corvette servos to firm the shifts up a bit. I am having a little issue with the 3-4 shift coming in a little early, right at 45 mph if not under medium acceleration. I would like to bump that up to around 50-55 mph...

    What to replace 4L60E with?

    Normally I don't pipe in on such conversations because I am not a trans guy but, that being said. My 96 has a 460e in it with 246,000 miles. I did notice it beginning to slip a bit so I decided that before replacing the whole trans I would try a couple of things. 1st I flushed the trans and...

    Okay, I took your advice so far now I need more if ya don't mind...

    Now I even have more to consider :). I was thinking about a GM long block I could buy for less than $2000.00 then toss a cam in it. I was hoping to find something that in time I could build slowly as I can afford it. I wouldn't buy from a seller that didn't offer quality engines. Most of what I...

    Okay, I took your advice so far now I need more if ya don't mind...

    So, I have been talked out of buying the LT1 for my 1996 Chevy truck. I am glad I was after reading your threads. Now I am considering going with a reman long block 350. Since I live in NC I have to stay with a 1996-1999 engine for emissions laws here. So, with that said, If I go ahead with the...

    1996 Caprice LT1 into a 1996 C1500

    Okay, So you have convienced me not to use the LT1. Thanks for that and saving me headaches. So, the L31 seems to be the choice. I already have BBK headers and a Magnaflow exhaust system waiting to install on the L31. Can yo suggest a mild cam that I could install that will work with the vortec...

    1996 Caprice LT1 into a 1996 C1500

    Thanks for the info. Now I am second guessing my decision. I can back out of the purchase if necessary. What I got for my $950 was the LT1 Caprice engine with 117,000 verified miles and the 4L40e trans that it is mated to. Does that seem like it would make it more worth the hassle? I have seen...

    1996 Caprice LT1 into a 1996 C1500

    Hi everyone, I just bought a nice 96 LT1 and trans out of a caprice and want to put it in my truck. 1996 chevy 1500. What will I need to do to make this fit? The LT1 is a drop out and comes with the ecm, wiring harness and all the bolt on accessories. These are the things I am concerned about...

    4l60e vette servo install

    If you use transmission grease and grease the inside if the housing, the servo and all the orings it normally pops in without to much trouble. I fought this to before finding the answer on utube. Worked great for me.

    I Just received my BBK 407 headers

    What I would like to know is. Can I get a fitting and plug my egr tube to where the oxy sensor goes. My oxy sensors are all down stream from the stock headers anyway. Thanks, Dan

    another 4L60E shifts intermittently

    thanks I will try this. I just finished with the flush and replaced with dex VI and installed a trans cooler. It seems to be much better than before. Not new but better. Dan

    another 4L60E shifts intermittently

    Hey all, My 1996 4L60e has a couple of issues that I need some input on. To begin with, I changed the filter and am flushing it today and changing to Dex VI. I have a new trans cooler to install as well. Here's the issue, the tranny seems to shift fine while cool but once it warms up it will...
