My 4L60e died on me today as I was going to class. Luckily I was only 7 or 8 blocks away and was able to "idle" the truck home and take my gf's truck to class. Needless to say I am in the market for a new tranny. Any suggestions? Right now I am leaning toward a JAG Performance built 4L60e or 4L65e.

 

Both good but I would consider either the 4L65e or the 4L80e. Heard the 4l80e is really good realiable tranny and can handle some serious power with out any major upgrades.

 

sorry to hear that on a positive note, I'm sure Jag will do a great job for you.

 

Yeah, I have heard good things about Jag. I guess I'm gonna see the prices and go from there. I don't have FI so a 60e should be plenty but I would like to have a 65e just in case I go crazy down the line and get FI or something. I guess I will just have to see the kind of $$ difference in the two, he said a built 60e would be about $2250. BTW, sorry to hear about your truck too grippy, I was in the same boat not too long ago. I didn't have the G80 but just about everything under the diff cover was blown away.

 

thanks bro, I guess it was bound to happen. I have learned a few things, which is always nice

 

Yeah, I agree, always nice to learn new things . I am going to school for auto tech, so at least I can get the truck up on a lift and have a few guys help me do the swap, shouldn't be too bad. Hopefully I can get the tranny ordered today or tomorrow and get the truck back on the road again soon. On another positive note, my gf drives a Silverado too, so at least I'm still in a bowtie .

 

Well thats good that you are getting a nicely built transmission. my 60e blew the day after i put my 6.0 in (last weekend). i had my 60E built locally and hopefully it will hold up. I got to drive around my gf's lifted tahoe while my truck was gone, its nice to have another chevy to drive.

 

Yeah, definately nice to have another Chevy. Actually I will be in her ride until friday, then I will be in my dad's Silverado until mine is driveable again, so its not TOO bad. After driving a stock Silverado I will get a new appreciation for my truck when I get it back. Hope the 6.0 is goin good for you man, I would love to drop one in my ride. Hopefully the new tranny will hold up for you.

 

Go for the 4l80e and save yourself the trouble.

 

Also Jag does good work he is the one who built my last 4l60e.
