Default 4L65E carnage

My suggestion to anybody running a 65E with decent torque, is buy the billet shafts the first time around, even if you think you don't need them.

I thought I didn't need them. Apparently I was mistaken.....

I was on my way to work, pulling out of the subdivision onto the highway. 1-2 shift at about 50-60% throttle.

Yes, but it did not have billet shafts. It does now.

Well , I was hoping you would say you were doing a 4x4 launch and power braking that thing. I still have my stock 60e... I think I'm driving on borrowed time right now.
