    700r or 4l80e?

    Thats a lot to take in lol... ty for all thr replies. The local shop here builds pretty badass transmissions... all the race guys and 4x4 guys use him. As far as the internals and their names I am clueless. He mentioned Corvette servos and everything else he said went right out the window. I am...

    700r or 4l80e?

    I found a reputal shop near me... $1,600 for all the bells and whistles plus a rebuilt torque converter for my 700r4 I think I'm going this route... way to much other crap witht he 4l80e (at least for me it is) Thanks for the help!

    700r or 4l80e?

    Thanks for the info... After reading up more on it I think beefing up the 700r4 is the way to go.

    700r or 4l80e?

    Since the gear swap no more coming in and out of OD... I wanted to get the gears out of the way before i decided on a trans. I understand the 4l80e has a stand alone computer as well. I am leaning this route vs beefing up the 700r4. Just don’t want to waste money if it’s not necessary.

    700r or 4l80e?

    nope.. i have no idea but I will have it looked at now... I can say this, since the gear swap the trans feels much more happy

    700r or 4l80e?

    yeah thanks, the motor is a stock crate motor but she has 4" of lift with 35's that's why I just put in 4:56's... It would fight to stay in OD and keep down shifting like crazy then back to OD. I didn't want to wipe out the trans. any idea of what it would cost for the 4l80? and what does most...

    700r or 4l80e?

    1988 K5 Automatic with a crate 350 and recently swapped the gears in the 10 bolt to 4:56's to help the 35" tires down the road. I was planning on having my transmission gone through and beefed up the best it can be but I am torn. Do I spend the money on going through this transmission or should...

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    soon as the gears are in I am having the transmission gone through and beefed up... I am lucky to have an awesome local transmission shop here...

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    I noticed lol... my 35's are killing my transmission... Hopefully the 4:56's solve all issues.

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    Thanks for the help... I ordered 4:56's from Yukon with the install kit and seals for around $800. A well known local 4x4 shop is doing the install $750 labor. Fingers crossed...

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    That's exactly what I do now... I keep it in D and when on the highway OD.

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    Gotcha... thanks I do want to save some $$$ so axle swaps just seems overkill for me. I love to tinker but in my 43 years I have learned tinkering gets very costly and 90% of the time it’s not needed rather wanted (more power grrr)... drivability with reliability plus a hint of fun factor is...

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    I was hoping 4:10’s would get it done... I really enjoy taking her on the highway... I always assumed 4:56’s 4:88’s were way to much for highway driving. I want something that will not tax the transmission too much and work nicely down the road. Long Island is flat so hills and headwinds are...

    re-gear or axle swap plus re-gear?

    1988 K5 Crate 350 with approximately 40k 4" lift 35" tires... The Transmission slips here and there or more of a searching for OD in and out kinda thing. I have no idea of the stock gears but I have a sneaky feeling this is the cause. Please help me figure out the best ratio to go with. I love...

    Blend Door for dummies?

    1988 K5 Factory a/c truck (a/c deleted by previous owner)- a buddy helped me out and relpaced my heater core (thank god for mechanic buddies). Only thing is now my vents are all screwed up. Heat pretty much come out the vents and floor only no matter what setting I have it on. My defroster...
