I am curious how the stock one restalled to 2800 will be in terms of looseness. My 2400 is a restalled stock one, and its pretty good, i figure if it was higher it would be really lose. Assuming you have one already, but if not definitely get a cooler. Mine gets pretty hot in stop go traffic.
The stall was not supposed to go in until the 6.0 was installed but no need to replace the one in there right now and then again with the 6.0 swap one.

I will do that at the end of the year. I ran out of funds on the 60e build. I think that shaft was about $450. I am upgrading the axle shafts this year though...

So, what would be the benefit of just finding a low mileage 4L80 and putting it in? Is there a lot to change or is that just a pretty easy swap? Would a 4L80e be just as strong as all this or.....just trying to figure all this out, thats a lot of money to spend on a transmission

Just some pix sent to me by the builder
Just a few pix of my tranny tore up.
From what was discovered no seals have ever been replaced, just the clutches. The pump came apart too easy. Luckaly my servos where in there. That rules out that they just went to a junk yard and put that in mine. The transmission was the blackest he had ever seen, no red tint to it at all. There was silicone in the trans as well(not a good thing)

Failures
Aside from the first problems mentioned, there was a stuck check ball. Luckally a bought a new separator plate with the rest of the parts.
