Because the stock 4L60Es SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Seriously, I'm on my 2nd trans, and it's down again... after being rebuilt twice already. Going with a TRUELY built 4L65E from a site sponsor as soon as my bonus gets here.

then you lose your OD and if a DD or crusier you want OD

its been the same...first was a stock rebuild from GM and a weak 5 plantary...that trans took a buse and held it

i just dont see why ppl are havingissues with 60s these days. a 60 can be made to hold...its all in who builds it

500-550 is about the limit the 4l60 will hold, because of the weight of the trucks. A stock 4l80 will just be warming up at those power levels.

I agree,, it depends on who builds it.. and it depends on how much you abuse it.
to build a TH350 only cost Semihemi about $200. it went in his ElCamino.
I think the parts and stuff for the 60e is a little more... depends on who you know also.
