I guess I need a 4l80E now...

I seem to have decent luck finding cheap stock transmissions, so I may do that for now, until I can get a good built one. Wont try to race it. I just want to be able to drive the truck at least instead of letting it sit in the driveway or just sitting on jack stands.

The other thing I thought of is learning to rebuild these and getting everything cryo treated so I dont have to worry about the hard parts. I am not running any power adders just yet, so that it may hold out for more than 200 miles..

If you want, buy a decent stock unit and run it without racing it and have the one of several you have built. You may also wanna see about selling your extra cores or trading them into your tranny builder for credit. A good core is worth $150-$200...
