I don't know what the electronics consist of, but that doesn't sound out-of-line. It's hard comparing the prices I paid two years ago to today.He said with the master kit, forward sprag, band, filter, electronics it’d be about $850.
Incorrect on the 7500lbs.GM designed the 4l60e to haul up to 7500lbs with factory gearing. My 1993 suburban owners manual says up to 10K. Add transmission oil cooler(s). Heat is the enemy. Add a temperature gauge and use the pressure tap on the drivers side of the transmission above the shifter rod for the temperature probe installation. When towing, watch the temperature and *DO NOT* haul in overdrive.
I’ve got a 95 c1500 wt. I blew up the 4.3 that was in it so I did a 5.7 swap and everything was going good for about a week and then it burnt up 3rd and 4th gears. I’m needing to rebuild the 4l60e but wanting to order everything all at once and for as affordable as possible. Could you guys help me out with a complete parts list of how you would build it? I’ve got a couple of the service and rebuild manuals for the 4l60e and I’m wanting to try to build it myself. Thank you.
It was my fault it went out. Ran it low on fluid playing with the new v8. Got over excited and didn’t slow down long enough to think and check the fluid. I just figured it was fine.Wonder what killed the original transmission? As you swapped motors it may have been cable related.
Been there, Buddy!It was my fault it went out. Ran it low on fluid playing with the new v8. Got over excited and didn’t slow down long enough to think and check the fluid. I just figured it was fine.
60/80 has NOTHING to do with GVW. It is the relative strength. 4L85E>4L80E/3L80>4L70E>4L65E>4L60E/4L60>4L30E. The 4L60E was used in applications up to around 7,400 lbs GVW, there were some 8-lug G30 vans with the 350s that had the 4L60E that were 7,400 lbs GVW with a 3.23 geared 9.5 SF rear and the 6-lug 2500 Vortec vans used them at 7,300 lbs GVW.. I can tell you a mildly driven STOCK L31 350 destroyed the GM 4L60E in 38K miles in a 7,100 lbs GVW vehicle. Not talking about clutches either, it broke hard parts. Transmission #2 was a 4L65E beefed up and it made it 40K miles. At 78K miles, I put a junkyard 4L85E in.Incorrect on the 7500lbs.
That's where the 60 and 80 come from in the naming.
4 is 4 speed.
L is longitudinal mounted.
60/80 is 6,000/ 8000lb GVWR.
E is electronic.
As for hauling that can be very subjective depending on many factors
