Damn buddy that sucks sorry to hear that but can't wait to see it back together and rolling and hope you and your dad have a good visit great videos man keep up the good work!
Just found your page tonight and watched the entire build on the tahoe... I'm currently pulling the 6.2 from my escalade since it lost a bearing. Plan on building a 416" stroker and eventually putting a blower on it. Love the channel, easy to watch. You gotta a new subscriber! look forward to more burnouts!
Junkyard 4l80e, shift kit, and nice converter. I found and pulled a gm rebuilt 4l80e in the junk yard for $140. Threw in a shift kit and brand new circle d 258mm 3200 billet single disc I got for About $800 on black Friday. Would never think of using a 4l60e again.
Really cool that youre close with your dad like that man cherish that not all of us are so lucky
New sub here, live in Kinston. I have a 01 Tahoe that I plan on following your videos to get it right. Big plus your in NC. Loving the vids man!!
Hope to see you at Run in the Sun. I wish I had my 63 impala ready this year. Sucks that the trans went, but I'm also glad you aren't swapping to an 80e because I feel nearly t he same as you.
Shouldn't even waste your time with another 4l60 or 4l65 (5 gear planetary)My daily driver is Turbod 04 Yukon Denali Lq4 78mm turbo...I build trannies and I personally rebuilt mine 5 times all top shelf partsGrab a junk yard 4l80 and have them build it ...THE WIRING IS 2 WIRES AND TAKES 10 Minutes to do ....Its a joke Jeff I promise ya ...Your gonna end up doing the 4l80 anyway...A STOCK 4L80e With a transgo hd2 shift kit is plenty for your truck , it can handle 700hp without issues...Ask me how I know...I do hope it lasts bud but pump your brakes for a minute and get some real feedback from eople who did the swap . Circle D budget street series converter $599.00 ... In my Denali 700hp AWD lq4 w/Cam...convereter held up over a year now and I beat my girl....CHECKOUT MY VIDS IVE POSTED....BOOSTED DENALI
Beast!!
I have a 2004 Tahoe as well however it’s an AWD. It has efans, volant, flowmaster and a tune. I want my Tahoe to be like yours.
That's what happened when I procharged 02 sierra. I lost the 2/4 band as well. I got it fixed for about 900 locally. Runs and shift perfect now.
Do it once. 4l80 swap it, sorry bout the 4l60!
Thank goodness in awd, so it takes some stress off of my trans. Told you to buy my van 4l80. 6.0., in selling whole because I'm not parting out lol 😂 to much work to pull it myself
Doin good keep it up and the l60s just can't hold up to anything stock. I plan on supercharging my 05 Silverado.
Myrtle Beach , SC here, checking out your channel. :-). Next time your in town look me up. 2003 Escalade work suv truck I am building :-)
Dame that 5.3 had know respect for that transmission after the supercharger
I had a 4l60 do the same thing. No 2nd 4th and reverse, it broke the sunshell.
...wow.
Between your buddy driving off the trailer with no ramps, and this... well... your cars and shops are nice. :)
I'll just watch and see how his 60e holds.. my 80e swap wasn't that expensive even with a billet converter..at least my truck is worth a hella lot more than I thought lol.
What setup is that thats an awesome tahoe
I got a nv 4500 in mine I been thinking of a turbo or supercharger a well 😅
Keep on with the tahoe updates
Sorry to hear. I think you knew it was coming. Lol
I payed $2800 for an 4l80e and 6.0l swap bro.
lol. I have a 4l80e in my truck 4x4 out 0f a 04 2500 silverado. delet one wire and add two to shift the 80e. Ive been stomping on it for 3years.

It happened to my truck few miles after my lsa swap😂 ....4l60e🔫
Sorry to hear about the Tahoe, but you are correct a 4L60e can handle a lot of power when built right. Make sure your buddy uses the Sonnax Smart Tech Input drum, Smart shell, and their wide 2-4 band. I prefer BW high energy clutches instead of Alto Greens and never use their Alto reds for the 3-4 clutches, they do not last. Because they are to hard and do not soak up trans fluid to well. The Smart Tech drum replaces the 3-4 snap ring with a billet upper/lower apply ring with 15 bolts that allows the use of 8 factory full thickness clutches and 7 factory full thickness steels, which means even apply and no coning of the clutches and steels. The people that keep saying to install a 4l80e or a 6L80e and that a 4L60e can't handle the power are the people that don't know how to build them or heard horror stories from someone else that strengthen their belief that 4L60e's are junk. Please don't take this the wrong way many things can cause any tranny to come apart, not just the 4L60e. I have a turbo 91 Camaro with a built 700r4 that has the above mentioned parts and many more supporting parts/mods with a Circle D triple disc converter making over 900 RWHP and it weights 3860 with my fat butt in it on race day. IT CAN BE DONE!
boy oh boy i learned a-lot just reading this. i love the youtube community when it comes to this kind of stuff, thanks for the info.
I called this 2 or 3 vidjas ago lol! That sucks though, especially since ya didnt get to play with it very long. Throw a sonnax smart tech input housing in it while you have it apart!
You own a shop and don't know a 4L80E is better?! Should of watched Sloppy Mechanics. 4L80E + H2D + appropriate converter. Never touch it again and be happy.
I don't know if he owns it but he definitely has a lot of bad information about the cost and involvement of a 4l80 swap...I'm almost don't believe e said all that...Maybe should question how good of a shop Rpm is then ???
Ludicrous Plaid Jeff does not own the RPM.
Boosted Denali read his pinned post. Why would misinformation cause you to question RPM?
Hey Nick , I say that because Jeff's representing Rpm when he makes these vids...The level of experience and knowledge required to do this line of work at a professional level is no joke...The last thing I want to do is trash talk , its not who I am and wasn't my intention , but I just could not get over the statements he made regarding installing a 4l80 . At the level this shop is at Jeff should not be this misinformed about the old 4l60 to 4l80 conversation...SO I just couldn't help but post what I felt at the time ...this is like the ultimate rookie mistake and I know about rookie mistakes .To not swap it out with a 4l80 especially for the money it takes to beef up a 4l60 that might last him a few months at best...Guarantee you its cheaper to build an 80e with just better clutches and sprags and transgo hd2 kit...The converter is about the same as what he'll need to spend on the 4l60 ( minimum $600)... I myself and i'm sure countless others that have made the change to the 4l80 will tell him the same... The swap was stupid easy , the rebuild should be cheaper than the 4l60e because you don't need billet shafts and super beefy sunshells ETC... A well rebuilt 80e should cost them a nice chunk less than a well built or rebuilt 4l60 does ...Ask me how I know... its way cheaper LOL... Between the weight of his truck and the 24's alone puts an enormous strain on a 60 or 65 , they were never intended for an SUV . Gm realized a long time ago that a 60 is no good in a truck , that's how the 65 was born...A slightly stronger (50 H.P.) worth of 5 gear planets instead of 4 gear , and the shafts are shot peened and been hardened to a higher level than its weaker counterpart 60e...All Trucks and Suv's should of came with a 4l80 fro the factory...Anyway got of track there....Sloppy Mech Matt Happel Rambletron reply for ya... I apologize to Rpm and Jeff for questioning their competency to build race cars , Its obvious that the build awesome cars , I'm sure by far , way better than I ever could....
Can concur. Went through 2 "Fully Built" 4L65e's on a Procharged H/C AWD Denali on 22s and finally going 4L80 to never worry about it again.
Where is the video Jeff? Hate to hear about the Tahoe man tell your buddy with the 88-89 Chevy step side I feel for him I absolutely love those trucks my first truck was an 89 fleet side.
Try reloading the page
James Jordan really, never thought of that lol jk
😎🇺🇸 Hey Buddy Shit Happens 👍 Good Video ✌🏻
Need to replace those big wheels and put the stocks back on
Ok ok ok people. When I said 10k for a 4l80 swap I was a bit high in price. I have only ever done 4 L 80 swaps in Camaros and CTS-V. And by the time you buy a Built 4 L 80 brand new with a new converter you were looking at $4,000 to $5,000. I am aware that I can get something out of a junkyard and make it work, but that's just not my style. Also didn't know that I could change a few shafts on the transfer case and it would work. Either way I have faith in the 4 L 60. It will live forever and ever.
But thank you everyone for the new information, this might be something I do in the future
it's all good, we are all learning and that's a good thing. im just glad you're putting in the time and research. it's going to make future jobs easy IMO. the "i told ya so people" are just looking for a cookie, the other guys and gals with real advice and instructions on this issue understand you and they don't want any special recognition for it.
Do what you do Jeff. that's why i watch "HIGH PSI TV"
Hey, keep preaching that brother! More treasure for me to snag in the junkyard!
BRUH said this is the most power its ever gonna make....... its been two months lets see how long that lasts
Which ice box are you running? Looks like clean install.
Rhodes Race Cars
"500hp is all this thing is ever going to make"
I had a stage 4 4L60 and killed it with less than 400hp.
If you have a 4l60, doesn’t matter what you did, or do, it will break again and again!
Do yourself a favor and convert to a 4l80e and be done with it

What was that canister for water in your engine bay?

I'm thinking of putting a lsa blower in my chevy short wheelbase truck I got a 6.2 in it now with a fast lsx rt truck intake now but I want that supercharger ,I do have a built 4l60 but looking to upgrade to that 4l80e what are your thoughts on the lsa itz going to be a street truck/ slash strip at times?I found a good deal on a blower just want to know your thoughts on it
Do it. It's awesome.
High PSI tv ok cool thanks for the reply
High PSI tv could you tell me what all you think I'll need once I buy the blower it has been ported and has the 2..55 lingenfelter pulley on it but it doesn't have the fuel rails,injectors and throttle body?
Damn Bro, Sorry to hear about the trans but i know it's going to kick azz when you get the built trans in it. i guess i need to factor in the cost of a Built trans into my 2011 Tahoe build? Do ya think a Factory 2011 Tahoe 6 speed trans can handle 500hp?
It will a lot better than his 4l60e. His new built 4l60e still wont be as strong as your 6l80e. I have the same trans in my 09 z71 and about to drop a cammed and maybe LSA ls3 in it so we will see how long mine last! Lol
MrChris, thanks for the info. im wanting to do the same supercharger upgrade to my 2011 tahoe and have been watching Jeff's build because i want to know they can do it before i take it to RPM. I'd rather not Drop 8 Grand and still have problems. Chevy warrantied me a new trans last year due to the fact the dealership service tech left a return line hose loose and it lost all fluid and burned the clutches also killed the pump. so my trans is fairly new.
What he said. I would love to have a truck with a 6 speed.. They are a lot stronger. You shouldn't have any problems out of it.
The 4L60 has a bad name because of people that are to cheap to have them built properly and also from builders not knowing what they are doing. The 4L60 can handle a large amount of power and do so in a heavy vehicle if built right. My builder has 60E's in 8&9 second B-bodies with no problems. But not every transmission builder can do that.
The 4l60 hated cyclone truck I believe put down 900 lb torque. To the wheels
But all Sonnex parts
I have a LSA blown 5.3 with a 4l80 that makes about 700hp in a 99 s10 single cab and have not had any problems with my trans one time.....4l60s are junk
Got a question where did you get you chiller from??
Chiller?
@@HighPSItv Ice tank...
Sounds like fun hot roddin with dad
Flush the trans cooler or else the new trans will be toast in no time
@High PSI tv pm me if you decide on selling that converter
I will
How long did it last? That’s kind of impressive.
A few days
High PSI tv shoot nevermind
Need to just do a 4l80e swap
not really, like he said a well built 4L60E will do just fine. I have an RPM built 4L60 in my colorado for about 6years now and haven't had any problems. i do about 400 to the wheels and beat on it very often.
10k to swap?? Na. Couple thousand very possible. You can rebuild transfer case with different input and outputs and change yours on driveshaft you have
A well built 4l60 will die too. You have to think about the extra weight. The Tahoe weighs over a full ton more than a Colorado or the Buick. A 4l80 with a Trans-go kit will last longer than a well built 60e in a heavy truck with 500 rwhp and it can be done easily for the same money as building the 60e.
- EDIT -
$600 - 4l80e 100k mile working good bolt-in from Copart (could be more/less in your area)
$500 - Red Alto/Kolene steel rebuild kit (optional)
$599 - Circle D swap converter (+$200 for billet - optional)
$125 - Transgo HD2
$89 - Nelson 4l80 harness (eBay has them for less than half)
$20 - eBay bolt-in front shaft from a 2500
$100 - 32 spline transfer case input
$75 - Merchant pump rub kit (optional)
$200 - rear shaft
$0 - modify crossmember
$0 - segment swap in EFILive/HP Tuners
So you have $1733 or $2508 with all options
Look at the build sheet on a built 80e..there isn't much difference from a stock one because they are stout from the factory. Dual feed it and it will Trump a built 60e all day especially in a heavy truck. U don't need an all billet 80e at his power level.
Your colorado is a lighter vehicle also though. Hell people cant keep 4l70e in there trailblazer ss so its a common swap because a 4l80e is stronger than a built 4l60e
Want to race . Your tahoe against my 98 yukon? It even has 35s?
Maybe one day
whats faster how or car?
Car
+High PSI tv you going out to galot tonight.
👍
Don't do it just get an 80 I feel like these vehicles are to heavy for a lot of power for a 60 to last it will probably work for a while but an 80 would be better
For that price you go with a 6l85e
$10,000 are you high hell or $2,500 I mean maybe the $2500 for not doing it yourself but I mean I don't think anyone was talking about buying a new 4l80 and transfer case but that still sounds high
I still don't get his math it's just the input on the transfer case that's different and ya you need new drive shafts made but the wiring it just repining a couple and adding 1 wire I believe and you may have to do some stuff with the trans cooler lines and regardless you should probably be adding a trans cooler but if you were going to go new or freshly rebuilt because new mostly doesn't exist you can get one for like $2500 but nobody in the cheap LS world is doing that they are going to the junkyard and pulling one for between like $200 and $600 and installing a like a $120 HD2 kit and whatever converter you are going to want which you could use the stock one or spend upto $1000 or more but something in the middle would probably be fine and then you need that input shaft for the transfer case and some drive shafts made and probably be in under what that 60 build will cost if you are talking 5 gear planetary and new input and output shafts
Get a 6l90e
Love the Vids and respect what you do but I call BS on 4L80 being that much lol junk yard brother!! grand max
4l60e suck it will break again your wasting money 4l80e
