No this is not another 80e I broke 
. THe unit I just rebuilt is doing well. This is a 2005 unit from a gmc savana/ chevy express (I forget) i picked up a while back.
Here is the carrier assembly/sun gears. Look how the sun gear's teeth were completely worn off.

The accumulators were totally melted.
THe internal wiring harness/plastic on the solenoids were melted as well. Look at the pigtails for the solenoid. The pic doesn't really show it but the connectors the pigtails connect to were melted at an angle. The unit obviously saw extreme temperatures.

Just curious how the hell this would happen. THis was behind a stock 4.8 or 6.0. The van had to be carrying a crap load of HVAC crap. Any guesses on how this crapshoot went down?

Ouch that got hot. Make sure you flush and flow check that cooler before you install the trans. A lot of the converters on the newer 80's are coming apart and clogging coolers.

It usually starts by not doing regular Fluid and filter changes. Once things start heating up and parts start breaking down its to late...
Probably running down the freeway hauling a load is what finally did it in. Its usually because they figure well if I can just get home or back to the shop, I will worry about it then...
