What about the 4L65?
I haven't seen anyone do it yet, someone needs to. With a billet input shaft w/ input drum it's hardcore strong. FAR better gear ratios, clutch pack for OD, etc.Quote:

If the 200r4 will do the job I sure wouldn't waste the HP by going to an 80E unless you pull a heavy trailer. I just wonder how it will handle the load of a heavy truck. The Grand National is quite a bit lighter so not too much torque load on the transmission. Do you know of anyone that has done a 200r4 in a truck and how has it done so far?
Weren't Regals close to 4000lbs? Don't forget boost makes a lot of torque. I'd run that before I'd consider an 80E due to power loss. Too bad there are no 4x4 200s.
I just do not see a 60E or any such variant being durable behind that sort of power. The internals are just not designed for it. :sad:
Thanks HitMan! You are a wealth of information! Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but mine is'nt broken yet.
