Thunder550 broke 2, then charcoal bowtie broke it again. I do not know what exactly broke, or what the cause was, but if your just trying to find the weak points (thats what it sounds like) I would kinda like to know as well.

yep you can!! EAD performence makes a one off input gear swap for the t-case. Vary straight forward!

I blew up a 4l80 converter that took out the trans, but in reality the trans never failed on its own yet.

I think mine broke off a bad rebuild. Shifts were ungodly hard, and it broke in two days. And I still drove it 250 miles home lol.

which thread?

also i hear that the 4l80e shifts better? how is it better? just trying to get an idea. i know i wish mine would shift on point everytime. it seems like at wot lately it takes a loonngg time to go from gear to gear. it feels like the truck is falling on its face then it shift and takes off again. (this is a 4l60e)
