4x4 4L80e swap 2007c Vmax
I have a 2007 classic Z71 Silverado Vortec Max. Its got the LQ9 6.0, 14 bolt rear with 4.10s, and a 4L70e. I'm interested in a 4L80e swap and I'm curious what the ins and outs are, especially as far as the transfer case is concerned cause I have a push button 4x4 in my truck. Anyone know the deal or can lead me to a thread? I'm sure theres a few already out there. Thanks

1500hd trucks and light duty 2500's came with 246 autotrack transfer cases so you can swap the input gear or the whole case. Basically if you add an 80e you have a slightly lighter 1500HD without the heavy duty front suspension and front diff. My 05 1500 HD needs headers and to lose the stock cats but after daily driving trucks that actually are quick it's such a slug... even being tuned, e fans intake and exhaust. The stock 80e convertor is such a piece of garbage... With its lack of first gear and more parasitic loss if you think your truck is quick now which by the sounds of other posts you do... you won't lol. A good convertor helps a lot though.

Yes it should. No doubt you are too far or I would peddle you one of mine. I had 3 new 4L80E GM remans. Sold one yesterday and hopefully another in the next day or so. I will keep one.. might need it some day lol. But 3... forget it lol.
