Re: 4l80e INSTALLED !!!!!
Some of your minds are REALLY in the gutter here.
Back on the 80e note, mechanically everything is done, the truck has actually moved under its own power even.
Electrical is all done, now just gotta get the computer all dialed in and talking correctly to trans.
Hopefully tonight. It is so close it aint funny. Install has come out super clean also.

Re: 4l80e INSTALLED !!!!!
Very Good, Very Good. The truck moving under its own power is almost always a good thing. Best part will be that it'll be a lot tougher to break the 80E (looking around for some wood to knock on, finding only his head, he knocks on it).
Keep us posted as to the details, especially details about swap kits.
Side question: Any clue as to the difference between the 1st gen frames & floorpans and the 2nd gen frames & floorpans? Do you think this mount setup will work on a 2nd gen?

Getting so close it aint funny.
Was up until 12:30 last night again.
Down to what I think is the last signal a VSS giving me troubles.
Otherwise everything seems ok.
going the stock ecm isn't the easist route, especially when you are doing some things and documenting more than anybody else has in past.
Found a few running stock ecm with 60e, but not 80e.

Well I just killed another 700. Thats three this year. What is the eta of a kit for the 80e? Couple of months? I think I can get this one covered under warnty. And it will last about 2-3 months. This pt 61 is hard on the trans.

It sounds like he's a lot closer than that. I hope it's soon. It'll save me a lot on the cost of the controller if he gets the kinks worked out of the ecm he's using.

Got my kit from George Blake, I believe his output shaft was also billet but not 100% sure on that. If you need his email just let me know.

Re: 4l80e INSTALLED !!!!!
I know who built the adaptor.
Tranny shifts nice. Is fun to go, hmm that shifts early, make an adjustment and bam it works.
Had 2 major discoveries tonight.
2nd one is the ECM I had was flaky, sometimes work, sometimes not. Probably cost me 8 hours troubleshooting before finding that one.
Otherwise the shifts are nice clean, crisp, but not harsh. I can see some big things in this tranny to come.
Boost with new convertor is great also, Went to 17psi where would go to 5 before.
~200rpm slip or less driving down road with TCC off.
Feel much better now about this big project.

I don't think I see a need for 700r4s anymore. :tup:

Re: 4l80e INSTALLED !!!!!
I don't think the 700 will go anywhere.
The downside to the 80e is cost. You might as well plan for a mild build to cost around $5k once you get all the misc stuff. A mild build should go in 10's though also.
If you shop around, you might get a good deal on 80e core, etc.
But for those tired of the 700 that matches the reliability of the trucks in general it is an option.
One thing though I am seeing line pressures about 25% of what the 700 has. Thinking that alone may offset the bigger trans, and what most would think would take more power to spin.
