    Is this a crazy idea to cool my 4L60E transmission?

    Ook ok, mics on, the data arrived! After driving for 5 hours on hilly roads and all the seats occupied, the maximum temperature reached was 179º F, min. 160º F. It's not bad at all and it's much "cool" than what I achieved before, although I must also take into account that the other radiator...

    Is this a crazy idea to cool my 4L60E transmission?

    The job is done! Tomorrow night I'll go out and drive around a bit, although I won't be towing anything for now. Sorry if my question caused a bit of tension here. PS: The thermostat was in terrible condition and I think it was the cause of the leaking radiator (increased pressure in the...

    What is this line that leaks?

    I saw the post and I remembered how much my stomach and neck hurt changing those sh## pieces. :anitoof: Follow the advice, change both at once.

    Thank you all for your good advice, forgot to mention that I have an external radiator too, I will do the experiment next week; if it doesn't work or I'm not convinced I'll just plug it in as it was.

    Is this a crazy idea to cool my 4L60E transmission?

    Hi TYForum friends, I am changing my Tahoe (07 stock Tahoe, 5.3, 4L60E) stock radiator because it's leaking like crazy, when I saw the new radiator I had this idea: Since I don't use the engine oil cooler, can I bridge the lines on both sides to form a larger cooling circuit for my 4L60E? I...

    2013 Tahoe - Stabilitrak issue

    Hi! Some of my tips to deal with this message: Check your fuses. Check your grounds, run a complementary temp. ground from your battery to the engine block and drive your car. Wiggle your BCM harness and see what happens. Many times it is a shorted module that blocks the CAN network what causes...

    Hey @lspann3525 check my post https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/serious-engine-oil-leak-tahoe-5-3-2007.126153/ and have the pleasure of knowing the infamous VLOM leak, it looks like a RMS leaking but the reality is different. At the time this made me pull my hair trying to know where so...

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Yes, everything is taking shape again, the smart shell looks solid let's see how it behaves. I tested the input drum with air, no leaks. I saw a video of someone suggesting trying it hot but the idea of heating it in oil doesn't seem safe to me. Working on these transmission is relaxing and...

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Hi @NickTransmissions, what an amazing answer, thank you very much for your time. I also thought the same about the converter but I saw it open and it was fine, anyway I'm installing a reman. converter. All my suspicions are on the valve body and the EPC. In the new valve body I included all...

    4L60E No reverse - Wear gloves to handle this post

    Hey @Just Fishing, thanks for answering! It's been a few days now and I've been a bit busy to finish my journey with this transmission but I have been able to reach several conclusions: The manual valve was causing a leak in the P/R circuit EPC solenoid failed causing low pressure The...
