[screamin86]

if i had a rcsb or ecsb with my mods and plans id prob stick with a 4l60 BUT my yukon is heavy real heavy and between that and i plan to tow with it still the 80 is looking to be the way i may go.

Been there already with all the same parts atleast 5 times! With two different builders, after that I was thinking to myself, damn I wish I would have listened to the first person that told me to go with an 80e.

Do you know what happened or failed in your 60e builds?

[Chris@LSXPS]

i cant remember, its been almost 2 years now.

[Chris@LSXPS]

but i seem to drive everything as hard as i possibly can!

LOL, its been a while, I was just wondering if it was a common failure item with an availiable fix. Do you remember what happened? lost all gears? or just certain gears?

2 of the biggest failures I see and read about are broken outputs and cracked input drums, its expensive, but the 300m output is STRONG, and soften the 1-2 hit usually eliminates this issue, the sonnax sleeve kit prevents any input drum failures...and of coarse there are many other failures/fixes.

How much power and what times were you running?

[Chris@LSXPS]

i dont know about power but i was running a 5.3 in an 84 c10 truck and cutting 8.0 flat in the 1/8th
and running 7.3 on 100 shot
