Well another thing I noticed was people talking about the flexplates not working for thier 4L80E swap. If you look on TCI's website you will see why!

Chevy Y GM 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0 LS-series internal small bolt pattern, 168 tooth 399753*2

You see the little 2 out beside the part number then scroll down and read the fine print!

*2 Will not fit 4L80E transmissions!

 

No I don't believe he bought a crossmember at all. And was going to modify his factory one with shims. After all of the issues I think he was heading back tho 4l60e based unit in his truck. Just what I heard. Vince

 

Dub had problems with their "80e conversion yolk" that was the incorrect length. Glad I didnt buy one from them, looks like Ill be making my own.

 

i thing it was thunder550 had problems with their drive shaft but i think they made it good not sure tho and i have tried to contact SE on a few different parts and no response.

 

Ok, for one the crossmember that is compared here is not the same style as the one we send those out to replace. So i am sure there are a lot of differences Two TurboBerserker did not buy it from us. I agree those crossmembers are crap. Just so you guys know we don't build those. We were getting them from a Fab Shop here locally. We also discontinued that style. Or stopped buying from that company. In fact the link that you guys gave to our site is for a completely different crossmember we sell which you can see by the pic.

As far as the flexplates go yes they do work with our 4L80E conversions. We have Precision Industries custom build our converters to match that flywheel. It is a 3 bolt hole pattern not the 6 bolt hole pattern that the factory 4L80E's have.

Yokes, Yes Thunder550 had problems with our drivelines. We paid for his to get fixed for him. His truck i believe was one of the first AWD trucks we did, which they use a different length driveline then the 4wd's do. We had sent him the 4wd's accidently i believe. After having a few issues with rear driveline differences between truck years we decided to start using the extended cab yokes we custom build for the dual driveline trucks and start using them instead of building a full rear driveline. It was cheaper for you guys and was less complicated for us. We used them for a long time in a lot of different large and small hp trucks. Until recently we had one that poped up with an issue of a different tranny or driveline length, which was really confusing what had changed. We offered to make him a custom length yoke specificly for his truck at our cost and us paying for half of that price since the original yoke was destroyed or could not be resold as new. Which would have been like 40.00 bucks. I have yet to hear back.

If you guys have any other questions about our kits your more then welcome to ask. It amazes me how threads can explode so fast.

i believe thunder550 is 4wd

 

Is it just me or did that guy type a whole lot of words and not say anything? What is he going to do for Berzerker? Is there a new crossmember that eliminates all problems? Are they going to do swaps for the crap crossmembers?

From what I see so far Speed Eng. is not a company I would do business with, and that post by Sean did nothing to change my mind.

 

I completely agree with your assessment of that post. Lots of info but no explanation.

 

Who cares if he bought it second hand! Get him a GOOD replacement or live with bad press and no sales !!!!!!

 

I don't know what you guys are confused about. The crossmember that he has is not for the crossmember he was trying to replace. What else is there. Obviously it's not going to fit or even be close for that matter. So why would we replace it for free. It's not made for that truck. Or yet even have an invoice for it. We do these conversions to help you guys, not for our income. We don't sell enough of these kits to even be worth the investment to be honest with you. We just do it to help you guys out. Obviously, there are hundreds of thousands of trucks out there. We do our best to cover them all. All the local ones we have done have not had any problems. All we can go off of are these local ones and what you guys tell us. But, yet if a single truck is off it seems to explode on this site before we can even deal with it or respond if its either the right truck for that matter.

Obviously if this keeps up we will cancel our conversion kits, no longer making them available for anyone. It's for one not worth the hassle of explaining the details in individual emails daily to hundreds of "maybe" future customers and two taking down our business name trying to help you guys further your truck performance needs.
