i pulled out my seventy on monday. kinda a pita but wasnt too bad. did all of the wiring for the 80 last night and i should get the 80 in from the junk yard today. i think i have everything that im gonna need. cooler lines, flex plate, torque converter, yolk, crossover u-joint, torque converter bolts, and of course an 11k mile 4l80e. so far ive got nine hundred into doing this. i did the wiring for the ss by cuttin up an old wiring harness i had so that was free. hope all this works. im young and unexperienced into this side of workin on trucks.

 

Spacer for the flexplate? and the longer bolts?

What cooler lines are those?

 

i dont have the bolts but i can get those at tractor supply or somethin i guess. thats the only thing that the salvage yard forgot to get. and the lines are off of the same truck as the transmission so im guessin there off of a 2500. why??

 

As I stated in your other thread, 2500 cooler lines don't work. Read KySilverado's thread. Search.

The bolts appear to be special bolts with bushings on them for centering I'm assuming. I wouldn't just use any old bolt you find that matches the threads. Use OEM or ARP. The OEM ones are like $6 each.

 

??? Im about to search but I have been running 2500 lines on my truck for over a year?

Edit: nevermind I guess it only matters if you are wanting to run the factory trans cooler. Otherwise trim the excess and adapt to the aftermarket cooler.

 

i used the 2500 lines no problem. got the swap done today. all in all modifying crossmember and everything prolly took ten hours. i used the 60 front line and the 80 long line. does everyone elses trucks have the lines that go to the radiator from the tranny?

 

you driving it yet? how do u like the 80e

 

 

i liked it at first. i like the way it shifts just drivin around but its already startin t slip from third to fourth. so im just givin up on this truck. gonna sell it and go back to a duramax. trucks for sale if anyones interested send me a pm

 

Wow, that sucks man.

I know you you feel, you get tired of dumping money and time into something, you just want it to run and perform the way it should!

Good luck man.
