Excuse me if this is a dumb question but, I see a lot of trucks w/ billet or corvette servos, what are they for? How do they help? Would they help my truck?

 

Depending on which one you get, they give you a firmer 1-2 shift or firmer 3-4. I have the 1-2 and like it. I dont know forsure about the 3-4 one, Im sure if im wrong someone will catch it lol.

 

makes the life of your tranny last longer..thats why most ppl do it anyways.

 

shifts are firmer and makes tranny last. its cheap too. like 25 shipped on ebay

 

yeah now the question would be is it easy to install...or how much would they charge to install it????

 

they're easy to install. Installed with the trans in the truck, and they're on the out side of the trans.

- you will get oily, use the search up top.

corvette servo is for your 1-2 shift only, less slipping on the 1-2 shift, and less heat, and more firm

"billet" servos are for 1-2 and 3-4. They are larger in size, and shift even harder, and they're more expensive.

 

Thanks for the info. My truck has the H.D. 6 speed auto, are they compatible with it and/or do I need them w/ this trans?

 

Servo's are in all automatic transmissions. You can upgrade them if you want, can only help.

 

Not all transmissions have servo's. Servo's simply apply a band. The 6L80-6L90 trannys don't have any bands, all shifts are clutch to clutch. So there are no servos. They also have no accumulators, they have a PC sol. for every shift.

 

I would reccomend the servos, just for the "maintenance" aspect of it. They help prolong the tranny. Anything helps especially with the 4l60E
