the ticking time bomb

i recently did a cam in my 06 5.3, best mod ive done to my truck! i have bolts ons, cam, gears, and for my tranny, well only a shift kit and 3000 stall were trying to hold up all the new found power from the cam. well everyone knows it! the 4l60e is a ticking time bomb, especially stock ones. i figured the shift kit and converter would hold up threw the summer, guess i was wrong! monday moring i went to head to work, i made it half mile down the road, and it went. i was just driving normal, when i reached 25 mph it just started revving, and not moving. i had no gear, no 1st 2nd 3rd, and no reverse. i towed it back home and there she sits. when i got home from work that day, my new 40000 tru cool tranny cooler that i ordered showed up. great timimg!! i couldnt make up my mind on which tranny i wanted, well i knew what i wanted, but since i wasnt ready and not expecting it to go out so soon, i was limited to how much i could spend. i would like to have a FLT lvl 7, even a lvl 5, but they were right out of my price range and i order a performabuilt lvl2 with a billet converter, i decided i wanted a 3400 stall instead of a 3000. so hopefully ill be able to put the power to the ground longer. maybe ill pick up a couple tenths in my quarter time too. cant wait to get it back one the road.

sorry to hear that man. Good luck on getting her up and running soon.

yup i blew mine at 2,800 miles on my 08 lol...goodluck man

get an 80e

Since ya lost all gears it sounds like the pump took a dump ... Hope you shimmed the converter if not that may have caused the failure ... Just a little tip before you install the new goods ! :)

brad update his times he ran 14.4 at SAR :lol:

i wish i could get a FLT 80e! maybe in a couple years haha! hopefully this built 60e will last a while.
