Are you selling any parts like the traction bars or driveshaft or anything?I have a set of 08 flex stock injectors i do not need if you want to trade for something.

 

I already bought a set of oem flex injectors, but yes, everything will be for sale. If it's coming off the truck, it's so I can sell it. I still have to remove the rear bracket that's attached to the axle u bolts before I can sell the bars. The way the truck is supported on stands won't let me do that, so I'll do it at a later time.

 

So I found a 4L80e 32 spline yoke with 3R joint size on it so I could run OEM size all throughout the driveshaft. Not sure why people don't recommend this yoke for 2wd 80e swap guys. It's a direct fit on the stock length driveshaft. Unless I'm missing something, it should work perfect. It has 7/8" of pullout at ride height from being fully bottomed out in the tailhousing.

Got a stock driveshaft from a local member and sanded the rust off and painted it satin black.














I really thought Magnaflow would have better quality than Speed Engineering, but check out the Magnaflow piping:

Magnaflow's quality has gone way down hill the last several years.

 

Damn you need spacers under the transmission that u joint angle is pretty rough

The angle at the rear isn't too bad but at the trans it's pretty bad

I noticed that when I was measuring for pinion angle. It's really far off and I'm not sure why. I tried to locate a new ACDelco tranny mount but could only find 4wd ones.

 

Aren't they the same for this generation?

 

Not sure. Rockauto specifically lists the ACDelco one as 4wd. The other brands in there specifically say 2wd, but I really try to buy OEM stuff in lieu of the other knockoff brands.

 

I agree, and I am not knocking your choice. OEM is generally the best unless you want solid mounts. My MR2 is on new OE mounts (from all the way across the ocean) because all the poly stuff just rattled my teeth out and made all kinds of panels rattle lol

But back to the issue at hand, it has been my understanding since ~ day one that 2wd and 4wd mounts in GMT800s are the same. This is information I gathered during reading about 4L80 swaps

 

OE mounts are the only way to go. I learned a long long time ago anything else is ****. With the exception of the poly mounts on my 4th gen SS. Those were great.

There's a few ways to fix the angle, not my favorite but it's pretty common to shim the trans mount between the mount and pad or mount and trans housing or both. If you need say about 3/4" you could get some 3/4" square tubing and drill holes in it and bolt it to your trans crossmember and a hole in the top of the tubing for the trans mount to mount to. Or just take the whole crossmember off and have a riser pad welded on.

Arthursc2, funny you mention MR2 mounts, about 10 years ago I replaced all the mounts (eng and trans) on a MR2 and the shop chose to source aftermarket replacements. The car rattled twice as bad as it did with the old worn out OE mounts and I had to re do the job with all new Toyota mounts. Couldn't even tell the engine was running with the OE mounts, night and day doesn't begin to describe the difference and the aftermarkets were rubber, not even poly, but they felt like solids it vibrated so bad. Since then if a service writer tries to get me to install an aftermarket mount, there's a long conversation that happens first with a lot of warnings and I ain't gonna's
