L83 to l96 swap completed finally

Rollinrusted · Tuesday at 12:11 PM

2016 GMC Yukon L83 died from a plugged vacuum pump shortly after the transmission died from the thermostat in the transmission line. New transmission flipped the insides of the thermostat fixed. When the engine blew I decided to install a L96 without doing any research. lol my bad, with 2 months after completion $5500 into everything and made my own engine mounts. It is now complete

Thats cool you got it together. Did you use the 6L80 or some other trans?

Yes 6L80, it is very fast I’m not on the parameters of the shift points. But I let the wife drive it, burnouts everywhere I told her it was sensitive. I’m still learning hptuners so hopefully I will get it turned down. So at least I won’t have to buy tires all the time.

That's awesome.. I have the gen v L86 in a Yukon XL with a low duration cam(L83), it's so much fun to just stomp on the pedal and let it rip from a rolling stop, it never gets old. It has surgical throttle response, I've torn up a couple sets of tires. Praise baby Jesus for traction control, I'd have put this thing in a ditch more than once without it.
