Found a listing on ebay also for $75.... I had seen where people are converting 4wd to 2wd wonser what they do with the output shafts??

 

Ouput shaft kinda thinking i wabt new anyway though

 

for $15-$20 I would go new as well.

 

I've only had 2 6 speeds and 6 or 7 4 speeds. Comparatively speaking IMO the 4 speed blows without a converter on a low hp ride. The 6 speed just has so much more out of the hole, more acceleration for same throttle position as well as able to gear lower for the highway. I like the better gas mileage and better performance a **** ton better. For a high hp ride I agree a 4l80 and a converter is likely the better choice. For a DD love my 6 and stock converter. Its good for 3k with the PD blower.

 

I guess I can see where you guys are coming from regarding the mileage issue and yall are probably right....if my tahoe was the 4 speed it might even be more of a ***** than it already is.

Really it's my dodge that bothers the **** out of me. My dodge makes a ton of power.....so much so I can't see how it would NOT drive better with less gears..........just lug that bitch. However, I had a 2006 dodge before this one with the 4 speed auto. That truck was probably around 800 ft/lbs. compared to my 2012 which is probably a tad over 1000 ft/lbs. One thing that is nice about the 6 speed in the newer truck, I started having trans issues before I got to 100k miles in the 2006 truck (48RE). My 2012 with the 6 speed drives just as good as it did the day I bought it. No transmission issues at all and I'm not easy on it. So it obviously is much stronger. I'd have to have a pretty serious built 4 speed auto behind it to get it to live.

 

i do agree with you, if i was to build something to make upwards of 700-800hp/tq i would be more focused on the 4l80 ive been kicking to the side for the last few months, and may even eventually end up with one in my 99, but as far as the yukon goes it will never see enough power to worry about all the mods it would take to run a 4l80!! Kick myself for not getting a 6speed truck to start with!! I have driven a few trucks and cars whth 6l80/90 and honestly like the way they shift and seem to have a shitload more *****, and always seem to be in the right gear for the situation!!!

 

Wolftrk do you own the BIG *** snap ring pliers? I would like to rent cause I don't wanna buy! LOL

No they belong to the dealership i work for.... Probably end up buying a set of my own, just to have though.... Just trying to choke down the anywhere from $165-300 i have seen them selling for!!

 

They are huge though!!!

 

I agree they are bigenz! I saw some on ebay 2 months ago and should have got them $100 bucks KM tool. Now I'm kicking my *** for passing it up! Do you use seal kit number GM 24260145 when going back together?
