I'm Awesome
Ok guys, I'm going to embark on rebuilding a 4L80e. They recommend you replace the torque converter as well due to the clutches being sort of a wear item, and you can't even inspect them. I'm going for a stock rebuild with a stock stall speed.
Locally, I can get this remanufactured one: https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...anufactured-torque-converter-gm88h/10011464-P
Seems other local parts stores have the same item.
Rockauto has a remanufactured one for $183 and a GM genuine remanf. for $400.

What is the difference? I've seen YT videos of those super duper racing converters where they TIG weld each little impeller vanes individually, but that's like for high performance stuff it seems. Those units are probably worth more than my entire truck. I'm leaning local just because of the core charge. Those suckers are heavy. Assuming they just replace the internal clutch and bearings, I can't see one of those not going 100k+ just like what came from the factory, no?
Summit has anything from $400 to $1500, LOL. I mean I don't think I need anything billet, tripe disc clutch, "Saturday Night Special," do I?!
