    Sorry for the delay. Absolutely love it. Soooo nice not to have to worry every time when I get into the gas. Still absolutely recommend it.

    I really don't want to think about it but I will take a swing at this off the top of my head: $2300 trans $800 Circle D 3000-3200 Torque Converter with Billet, $100+ for the wire harness, $100+ for the flexplate $100+ for the front drive shaft $100 to have rear drive shaft shortened $50...

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    Yes. Definitely noticeable. Mostly first gear. It should definitely not be a deal breaker if you are planning a swap. The peace of mind alone makes me still very glad I did the swap. It's not a big enough deal to make me want to change my rear gear or get one of those stand alone trans...

    Sorry for the delay in my response, I've been out of town a lot lately and have not touched the truck in a week. The answer is - I'm not sure yet. I think I have a vacuum or exhaust leak because the truck is running lean. I hope to have a chance to hunt down the leaks today and actually get...

    It's IN. IT RUNS!!!!!!! HP Tuners makes the segment swap super easy! I performed the "shift learn" process recommended by the company that sold it to me up on the lift. (No leaks). Then I took it out for a rather gentle test drive. I had a couple of drops of trans fluid that are falling...

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    I tried torquing to spec. Still leaked. Tried loosening them some, still leaked. Tried torquing to speck, still leaked. Tightened a little more, still leaked. Then I called the company that I bought the 4L80e from - without hesitation, they are sending me another pan and gasket no...

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    Well, .... I had everything on and filled it with ATF. Instead of turning the key and celebrating a running truck, I was greeted with this: Should I drain it, take the pan off, replace the gasket and reassemble, or is there an easier fix?

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    So I took my skirt off, quit cryin' and ran a M8x1.25 tap into the holes and got the M8x1.25 bolts to work. The rest of the day went amazingly well: Bracket: Trans oil lines Starter: Front Drive Shaft / Headers / Bell Housing Bottom Cover: Rear Driveshaft: I think I can...

    I did get the one above. M6x1.0 just falls in M7x1.0 seems to fit but bottoms out after 2 turns M8x1.25 seems to fit but botoms out after 2 turns No SAE came close. Tried every singe one of these with no luck.

    The bracket that holds the shift control cable came. Now I realize I don't have the right fasteners for it. Anyone have a clue what to use?

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    .... It's the DETAILS that slow you down! I was able to get the NSS on easily (which I promptly removed because I needed access to the oil port and front speed sensor). After removing it, I put on the front speed sensor (from the kit I bought) and my trans oil temp sensor. And then I...

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    It's in. I'm not saying this is how it should be done, but this is what finally worked for me. I took the transfer case adapter off so I could get the transfer case studs up and far back enough to put the transfer case adapter back on. It wasn't easy, but with a lot of back and forth and back...

    My 4L60e to 4L80e Swap Journal:

    I hit a bit of a wall. I can't get the transfer case to mate with the output shaft on the 4L80e. Even took the transfer case adapter off and the transfer case cant go further back because it hits the tortion bar (see photo) and I can't seem make it go up any. Exhausted from wrestling with...

    12/5/2019 UPDATE: Tranny is mated with the engine: Lessons learned during this step: 1. If you take the front wheels and the plastic guard off, you get easy access to the bell housing bolts on the sides and top (I had already taken my headers off). 2. If you buy a 4L80e, It will not come...

    Progress Update: Pictured below is the following: 1. Crossmember ready for measuring and final holes 2. Flexplate is in 3. Torque Converter is in 4. 4L80e Transfer Case Adapter is different from the 4L60e and needs different bolts and different seal
