What about the 4L65?
What about the 4L65?
No more trucks, but this is what I used to have. 2000 GMC Sierra, 6.0L-LQ4, Built 4L60, LS6 Cam, The Other Guys Headers, 3 inch exhaust and 7 chamber flowmaster, 43lb injectors, Nelson Tuning, Drop - 3/4 McGaughys Spindles, Bell Tech Shackles & Hangers. Best time 13.59 @ 106
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.Originally posted by RedHeartbeat@May 8 2005, 12:48 AM
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.

Let's face it, the red hair... makes 'em wet.
Thanks HitMan! You are a wealth of information! Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but mine is'nt broken yet.
