of those who have cooked a 4l60e!

driving down the road last night and lost 3rd and 4th. that will **** ya off luckily i was only about 2 miles from my parents house so 2nd got me there. my fluid is brown so i figure my torque converter needs a rebuild too. does gm really not have enough problems with these transmissions to justify the price of designing a better transmission?

 

congrats lol, well you were destin to blow it up, time was not on your side lol, well get rebuilt and have circle D restall your converter, should stall to about 25 to 2600.

 

your right.. its about time for a diff. tranny. I would really like to own one of the new 6l70e or whatever the 6-speed tranny is that they will be putting in the trucks.

but im glad you finally joined the club... bad time to do it tho, with the holidays so close, ah well... whats another $1500-$2000 in a tranny huh? lol

 

That sucks Stewart!!! I was reading somewhere about these 4l60e's and how they are not capable of handling a stock 5.3 motor. They said GM puts a lot of torque management to "solve" this problem. They do fine if you leave it stock like mine! 135k miles and no problems! That's what I so worried about getting a tune. Tranny go... = .

 

1500-2000. i hope it ends up being that cheap. yeah it definately went out at the wrong time of the year! atleast it didnt do this out in baytown last weekend. that definately woulda sucked

 

SO Stewart should I be expecting a call or are you getting someone else to do it?

Welcome to the club

Now if you blow it once more you can be in the same club as me

 

probably...im checking into a few more shops before making any final decisions. i have other cars to drive so its not a major delimma. depends on what i can get for how much other places. i might just go for a $500 rebuild to factory with a transgo and billet servos thrown in it.

 

if my 60E blows again i'm getting a stock 65E

 

mine was fine at 126 when it broke with no symptoms lol

 

i talked to my buddy. he is the service manager at a major dealorship in houston. were working on getting it fixed under warranty . 2001 silverado with 41,000 miles...cant say which dealorship or hook anyone else up so dont ask i might chunk in enough for a trailblazer stall and throw a shift kit in in a few weeks. its all about knowing the right people
