Anyone recommend tranny builders? FLP? Jag? Anyone else? Should I have mine gone through again by my local shop? I don't have a ton of money to spend (none actually, but I gotta get the truck running again). I don't want to do the 80E conversion. Will a 65E work with the transfer case and driveshafts I have right now? What are the differences between the 60E and 65E?

 

Chuck at FLT is the man
My dad liked mine so much he ordered a 700 for his 72p/u

no complaints here
my original 2 decisions came to rossler and FLT

I chose chuck due to his availability, feedback and participation in the truck market
just to name a few

 

65E will be a direct bolt in. Here is a link on the 65.

I'm looking for a low miles 65E, gonna install shift kit and servo's and put in the corner for when mine goes south.

 

Ditto on CHuck. Of course, it helps that his shop is about 200 yards from my office

Here ya go, the more I think about it the more I think I will either pursue the T56 or do my own rebuild, so I probably won't take this one.

 

Thanks, I had seen that. I can pick one up in this area for about a grand, less miles, and less distance to ship.

Already found several here although they list as 4l60E's

Good luck with the build. I have read many times that good transmission rebuilds are much more than a sum of good parts.

 

Hmm....ok I'll take a look. I keep going back and forth on what I want to do. Maybe it's all speculation at this point, I won't really know any of the facts about what is even wrong until I pull the trans. I have a hard time with patience, if you can't tell......

Lack of patience and not a lot of $$ are a bad combination. I should know this...you get what you pay for. Grrrrrrr
