we started the project with the 6 inch lift and 35 inch tires so we started with the gearing. 4.56 Richmond gears were installed in the front and rear diffs with a Detroit Trutrac to replace that nasty G80.

What was your gearing prior to the 4.56s?

Here we are with the rebuild of the 4l60e. The 3-4 clutches were toast. Garage still stinks from the burnt fluid. This is what happens when you dont gear for larger tires.. Not a hard job but you gotta have a very nice pair of snap ring plyers. Had a hell of a time with the harbor freight model. Since this was my first trans rebuild we used multiple youtube videos but primarily used Transmission Bench with his walk thru. PATIENCE is all I can say when rebuilding.
So far we have hit a few local trails, drove to Moab, hit some trails there, then went north to Yellowstone and a few trips to the Denver Airport. All I can say is I wish I would have done this sooner. The shifts are instant and not neck breaking. Love the downshifts when climbing mountains, no hesitation hitting that passing gear.
