The Trans shop called me today to inform me they blew up the 5th rebuild today.. This is the 2nd trans shop I have hired and they have blown 2.. First shop blew 3 before giving up on me.. 25 grand down the drain in last 8 months.. 12k just in transmission rebuilds,cores,valvebodies,etc.. who makes a BULLETPROOF 4L80E trans that has a lifetime warranty? Will also have to have a adapter plate made, custom driveshaft,and some sort of standalone controller for the trans with paddle shifters. ...
.. have you had to buy 12k of transmissions lately for them to only get blown up in under 10mins.

Let's start w/. this, that's gotta be the fastest import truck, or close to it.
$25K just for 5 trannies in 8 mos. You married? Cause I'm surprised she hasn't killed u if u are. So the built trannies are lasting 10 min. If u went thru 5 that fast, after 50 minutes, whatdaya been doing the last 7 1/2 months? j/k
You'd get a 6.0L RC in a heartbeat? Clever play on words.
It's not happening, GM will not do it. Just get a 5.3, swap to 6L. Go from there.
Seriously now, u spent $25K on trannies & plan to spend $7K fot tranny setup & $6-8 more for standalone Motec. I put all those #'s together for a reason.
That's $40K in all, enuff to buy a RCSB, swap to a 6L, throw in a 80E if ya wanted, & run faster than you are now. I honestly believe that, even tho I can appreciate what you've done to your ride thus far.
It'll be way easier to go faster for less. At least less headaches. In either instance, u aren't likely to find a lifetime warranty on any trans by anybody, in any truck, import or U.S.
Call FLT, get 1 of their 80E's & put in the truck u choose. They've got my vote 100%!
From whom?
