    Yes sir will do. Just needed someone else's opinion on this.

    Should I??? LQ4 and 4L60E

    I seem to think there are more educated people on here than me. You sir are one of them... Can't believe I totally skipped over it but yes the 5.7 should be L31. The LQ9 and LQ4 are both 6.0 but the LQ9 has a higher hp and torque output do to flat top piston creating a higher compression. So...

    Transmission Leak

    Reconmendation, take a look at where your transfer case and transmission bolt together. I had a rear U-Joint break on me. The force caused my transfer case to transmission bolts to literally rip out. It took the grooving out from the tranny since it's aluminum. Didn't find out till a week later...

    Should I??? LQ4 and 4L60E

    Alright so I have a chance to by a 5.7 350 (LQ4) and a 4L60E transmission for $400.00 Supposedly was running and driving when pulled out of a 1999 Chevy Tahoe with 79,000 miles. IF that's true then it's a heck of a low mileage engine and tranny for the year. He said it was an LQ9 but I thought...

    So I finally installed the rebuilt trans. The pump gears were replaced and I was told I was good to go. Well I haven't driven it not even a mile and I have this noise coming from the trans, more specifically the torque converter I believe. It only happens when I apply the throttle in gear (...

    Well, I've figured it out! Knowing me, I screwed something else up but for now, I found the issue. So there was no pressure what so ever being pumped through the trans. Seemed like there was at first then it just went silent. Well it was the pump. The two little tongs that slide into the little...

    Haha yes I did but I can see how someone could miss that.

    Update- The pump broke. When the trans was pulled in with the bolts, it pushed the torque converter against the pump and broke it... Or well that's what I'm assuming. I hooked up a pressure gauge to the 3/8 pressure port on the trans and started it up. No change in pressure what so ever. I even...

    I called up my builder and he said it was three clicks. 1 for the small gears, 2 for the big gears and 3 for the torque converter to engage the tangs in the pump. I think it's more so of how you first get it on there depending on if your able to get it on the small and big gear on that first...

    Alright... WTF??? Got the torque converter to fit, transfer case back in and rear drive shaft hooked up. Rear is jacked up again and wheels off the ground. Went to start it today and whadda ya know, nothing happened. My wheels aren't moving in any gear. I went and turned them by hand and after a...

    Let's all take a moment of silence and pray that THIS DID NOT HAPPEN!!! When I drop the trans again, is there any way to check the pump without tearing the whole thing apart? Thanks...

    Thanks for letting me know about the shaft length. Pretty sure I did here the two and felt it but with my luck so far, who knows?

    Gonna be a bit of a backstory so if you want to skip ahead to the last part the there's my question. Been a few but I finally scraped up the cash to get a simple rebuilt 700R4 trans. First time I've done anything this big but went ahead and dropped everything (drive shafts, transfer case and...

    700r4 Not Shifting...

    Alright well I gots some good news. I've secured the funds to buy a rebuilt transmission. I dropped the transfer case yesterday and dropped the transmission today. 1st time I've ever done anything this intensive to a vehicle so I'm feeling pretty pround. Unfortunately when I set up the transfer...

    700r4 Not Shifting...

    So just to be clear- I can't use the 2wd transmission with my 4x4 driveshaft? The output shaft would still have to be changed even if I didn't put the transfer case back in?

    700r4 Not Shifting...

    Out of curiosity, could I use the 2wd Transmission and just use the 4x4 rear drive shaft? The 2wd trans came from a longbed and I have a short bed so that drive shaft won't work. Could I use mine with the 2wd trans? And can I basically eliminate the Transfer Case? Oh and most people do that. I...

    700r4 Not Shifting...

    Well guess what. Son of a frickin S.O.B.!!!!!! Thank you for mentioning the whole 2wd-4x4 difference. His trans came out of an 84' C10 meaning the output shaft length will be different. Mine being a K10 won't work. Yay!!! So I'll be selling it. Already got a local guy interested but I mean I'll...

    Well figured I'd just let y'all know. Finally after two weeks got the TransGo SK 700 Jr shift kit off EBay. Came with the Acumulator Spring allowing me to replace the broken one. Installed that, was pretty straightforward although with the trans still in it was kinda a pain. Got everything...

    700r4 Not Shifting...

    Yeah I've looked at TransGo and B and N. The SK. 700 Jr. looks like the best but the site and everywhere I look says that the kit only fits 85' and later models 700r4s. I'm about a year short. Would it still be ok to use? I was gonna call product support tomorrow to ask but I just didn't...

    Any recommendations for a shift kit? Would one of those involve the 1-2 actuator spring?

    Figured it's time for an update. Got the Valve Body out- defiantly wasn't as hard as I would have expected thankfully. Removed all the valves and took some good break cleaner to them. Cleaned a lot of dark sludge so that good. What sucks is that during the cleaning, my garage got pretty humid...
