I bought the truck new and have had routine interval fluid changes on the 4L60E. Other than the shift kit and servo no other major work was done to it. One thing the transmission shop recommended was to go with a big cooler which I did. My truck is a daily driver ONLY and it has been very dependable. You will like the converter. Enjoy!

Yeah, I am not sure why I didn't go with a converter earlier back then when the truck was new. Well at 160k miles everything stil appears to be working well. But again its a daily driver. Thanks, LOL, Yeah I will make a video when I get some serious mods.....

What kind of tuning is in it? Is the abuse mode and TM 100% removed, or did you leave some in? Same for all the others who answered that theirs is doing fine, how much power are you holding back with the tuning between shifts?

I'd like to do the servos and a shift kit now. Down the road I'd like to do cam, headers, 243's, on a 5.3 in a Yukon and I really don't want to do the 80 swap. Thanks for the tuning help!

If that ain't a warning sign, I don't know what is...

Bottom line, a 4L60E is gonna break, usually without warning. I've done it 4 times with a bone stock 4.8L.

friend had his stock 08 4l60e in his truck running 11.7s with a 4400 pi stall for a good 3-4 months before he swaped out for the 80 and was still working and he gave that tranny hell
