el60e went up who knows the most trustworthy and best buys to check for rebuilts?
I finally got under there and dropped the pan, peaces of metal and something that looked round, as if it went around something round. Im not a car guy looking to super charge his truck but would like to put something good in there that will last, I do over 60k to 70k a year. I dont want to be on the road breakin down every 3 months. Any one to check with, I have talked to a few rebuilders but dont like what I hear, like one guy said he will take some parts from one, he has a few a put one togather for me, he didnt win my trust, lol. Any help with who rebulds and knows what there doing would be nice. Also would like to know, some say they dyno test, how will I know if the really do or just a line of bs.

i've used both team tripp and mad dog. team tripp does good valve body resleaving, but mad dog is less expensive and has great deals on ebay occasionally. both do good work.

Check with our sponsors ------------------------->
The very nature of being a sponsor here installs some checks and balances. Plus if they are a sponsor here then they are an enthusiast.
It may sound funny but the harder (to a point) the transmission ***** the better it is for it. You can buy a built transmission for about the same cost as a regular rebuild. Also for longevity keep it cool. A cool trans is a happy trans.

Try Finish Line Performance(FLP). They are a sponsor over to the right and can build a nice mild to a extremely strong wild 4L60E.

Hey thanks for the info, I think for my truck I will go with GM, they offered one with new converter for 1565 around there. Also they're only 1 mile so I can pick it up, also giving 3 years, 50,000 mile warrnty, the best I heard, I called a bunch let me tell ya. lol
First time tryin so any help would be good, I got it up in the air and dropped the pan, it had small peaces of metal in the pan and a round hard thin flat peace of metal in the fluid. Any help on droppin and installing would be great, its 4x4, also quick question, the 4x4 went up and stopped workin, someone said its some switch or silinoid, anyone know about it? I got a book and been doing some reading, I got good tools but is there anything I should get that would make it easy as poss? Any post would be thankful!!!!
