He is not online much anymore. How much has allot of variables, major one being the trans.

 

yea i had sent him a pm a while ago i dont think he has been on

i figure ill be into my whole swap 2k and then ill make some back selling my 4l60. But i picked up my trans for 125!

 

Does anyone know which transfer case adapter is use? I proba ly missed it, but I havent seen anyone post yet. Was it the one that came on the 4l80e or the factory one I have now between my 60e and autotrac case?

 

You want/need the one that comes on the 80e 4x4 unit.

 

Sweet! Glad I made him throw it in when I bought the trans.

 

 

has anyone notice how much more the 80 takes to move the truck

 

Umm, what?

 

seems to take more gas pedal to get the truck moving the same way it did before

 

I believe that you will find that is because of the ratio of 1st gear, specifically its taller than the 60e, the result is a slower 'out of the hole' feeling. A lot of guys will offset this with a higher stall in the converter.

The 60e is typically behind less powerful vehicles and therefore they put a shorter gear in it to get it moving quicker, the 80e is usually behind vehicles with more torque and its usually less noticeable.

Rest assured, your choice to upgrade is still a wise one, while an 80e can still be broken, its usually at a much higher HP level than the 60e.
