    GM 6L80 Transmission Information Thread

    Nick, Sorry if this has been asked and answered already. I have a 2020 Tahoe with the 5.3 and 6L80, currently 45K miles. No issues currently that I'm aware of, but I keep hearing about the problems with the Torque Converter going bad and then ruining the transmission. I had the dealer change...

    5.3 Guys, opinion on oil change intervals

    Every 5000 with quality synthetic oil and filter. I use Mobil 1 Extended Performance and a K & N filter. Disregard what the oil life monitor says unless you want AFM engine problems.

    How many miles on original brake pads?

    Just curious. I know it depends on driving habits, whether or not you tow, etc, but I was just wondering how many miles on average most are getting before you have to replace the OE brake pads? On my 2020 Tahoe, with 40K miles, the pads still look like they have plenty of life left.

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    This is what I used for the Aux battery. https://www.interstatebatteries.com/products/mtx-48/h6/2020-chevrolet-tahoe-v853l In my 2020 Tahoe, the starting battery is an H7, but the Aux is an H6. An H7 won't fit in the Aux battery tray. The batteries don't need to match if you're running a VSR...

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    On my 2020 Tahoe, there was no connection for this. I just replaced this relay with the Keyline VSR.

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    Yes, my 2020 didn't have the wiring connection for the relay. I just removed the relay and wiring from the harness and replaced it with the Keyline VSR. It does the same thing as the relay only electronically.

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    Sounds like you figured a way to make the existing battery tray work, but if it didn't have a threaded hole, it was most likely the stock tray. They look very similar, not sure why GM just didn't use the same tray that would work for both. On the vehicle battery side of things, it's actually...

    Updated Thermal Control Valve

    Question for the guys that have done this. I replaced the stock Trans thermal valve with the new GM part #85563685 valve about a month ago on my 2020 Tahoe with the 6L80E. I think it takes longer for the trans to get hot, but it still gets to around 195 degrees sometimes. I was thinking that...

    Dual Battery Setup using OEM parts?

    You have to replace the existing tray with part # 23231841. The existing tray isn't designed to hold a battery.

    Nevermind, went back into settings and found it.

    6L80 Trans Temp?

    Might be a dumb question but I see a lot of talk about reducing the temp for a 6L80 trans. I've got a 2020 Tahoe Z71 LT with the 5.3. How are you guys seeing what your trans temp is? I don't have a gauge showing trans temp, and I can't see anything in settings?
