keep making these videos. you make the best tutorials ever. strait to the point and informative. Thank you. the mechanics in my area just lost a customer.
This is a great video for 2 wheel drive models with a bolt on you style. However, 4 wheel drive models with slip yolks are a bit harder with the transfer case and its crossmember, plus all the bolts associated with that.
Thanks for the comment! It's so hard to find videos with all the relevant details, so I just started making them myself, lol. It'll save you from doing so much googling in the middle of a job
Over all very good, however there are two little things that would have made it perfect. 1) marking the U joints for correct orientation for drive shaft balance. 2) should have blown out the cooler lines with air to make sure any debris from the previous install was cleaned out.(learned the hard way on this one)
Hello I saw your 4l60e rebuild video I have a 06 YukonXl I plan on doing the 4l80e swap in it but I want to rebuild it first I didn't see that you had a rebuild video for the 4l80e or not if not do you plan on making g 1 your 4l60e video was very easy to follow and I would love to see your rebuild video for the 4l80e thanks Kyle
How’s it going, awesome video thanks for posting. I’m doing the 4L80e install but wanted to ask after bolting the trans to the engine my gap between the torque converter and flywheel is close to 1/2”, is that normal? My measurements for the flywheel mounting pads to engine and torque converter mounting pads to bell housing flat were both within the recommended gaps specs
I got a 4l80e on a 2000 GMC Sierra and someone cut all the wires now I can't figure out which is which there's 3 different greens one has a white line 14 wires all together ?? The 4x4 case is missing so
Ooh, that's an interesting question. Being that the 1500s and the 2500s and 3500s share the same cab, I would imagine that it would fit. There may be other complications with the fit and finish though
Question. So on the removal u removed the exhaust on the install the exhaust is mounted. Is it not a pain to install the transmission with the exhaust still bolted?
@@dudewecanfixit it’s just hard to find people around me that you can trust working on your stuff and actually do it the right way, I totally understand tho man . Great video !!
It helps to have 2 people. You can try putting a jack under the trans and lifting it up and lowering it. Usually, letting the transmission hang gives more clearance but sometimes it needs to be in a certain position.
I had the same problem. I ended up pushing down on the tab with a notched end trim clip pry bar to get it to go over the end of the stud. Once in place and tightened down you can bend it back into the proper location as needed. They must have had the stud & nut loosely in the dipstick tube when the trans was mated to the engine on the assembly line then just snugged it up with a wrench. Can't do that so easily trying to install the tube when the transmission is already bolted to the engine or when the body tub is in the way. Piece of cake on an engine crane or on a rolling chassis.

This is my absolute favorite fix it channel! Everything is so clear and you make it easy to understand!
Tony is the dude of all dudes.
And the bruh!

Glad you like them!

True, I need to make a video for 4wd models
Beautiful work fellas!
Love this video!
Me too!
Another awesome video man. Great detail
Thanks!
Great vid dude.
...thanks for the torque specs and other little details... effectively idiot proofing for those of us who haven't done it before.
Thanks for the comment! It's so hard to find videos with all the relevant details, so I just started making them myself, lol. It'll save you from doing so much googling in the middle of a job
WONDERFUL WALK THROUGH, THANK YOU SO MUCH...
Beyond happy to help!
Thank you so much dude !

Yes, both very good points!

I am going to be doing a 4L80 rebuild soon. I won't have the video out till later in the year
@@dudewecanfixit Awesome, thank you.
Would love to see this installed with an LS motor in an OBS tahoe/gmc/ pickup!
That would be amazing!
My current trucks are 90s models GMC pickups with the 6.5 diesel and 4L80
Thanks boos
Your welcome
Gracias y saludos
De nada
I just did a 5.3 4l80 swap in my 98 Camaro and I’m getting a vibration around 70 I’m thinking it’s trans mounts
It's definitely a possibility

I'm not sure what the maximum allowable gap is there. You might want get a second opinion
Would that fit a 83 Chevy 3/4 ton
That is beyond my technical knowledge. You would have better luck asking in a forum.

You should probably start by replacing the wire harness wherever it is cut
@@dudewecanfixit do you know how many wires there's supposed to be ? I don't have the money to buy a new harness right now, thanks.
I was told 4l80 transmission needs to be program by chevy dealer if it's rebuild or salvaged transmission 2014 suburban
I do not. Are the ends of the wires visible to count them
For a 2014, it might be necessary. Mine is much older and doesn't require it.
Do you know if the 4l80e will fit in a 1500 with the factory tunnel?
Ooh, that's an interesting question.
Being that the 1500s and the 2500s and 3500s share the same cab, I would imagine that it would fit. There may be other complications with the fit and finish though
Question. So on the removal u removed the exhaust on the install the exhaust is mounted. Is it not a pain to install the transmission with the exhaust still bolted?
If you can take the exhaust off, it makes it easier. Sometimes the bolts are rusted on though. Just showing that it can be done either way.
Can you guys do a trans on my 01 Silverado 😂🤞🏼
Lol, we are not for hire. We just make educational videos
@@dudewecanfixit it’s just hard to find people around me that you can trust working on your stuff and actually do it the right way, I totally understand tho man . Great video !!
Ask around and definitely look at reviews before settling on a shop
Is there a trick to getting the transmission dipstick mounted on the stud? I have been unable to get it on
It helps to have 2 people. You can try putting a jack under the trans and lifting it up and lowering it. Usually, letting the transmission hang gives more clearance but sometimes it needs to be in a certain position.
Also, make sure the dipstick is completely seated in the pan/transmission
I had the same problem. I ended up pushing down on the tab with a notched end trim clip pry bar to get it to go over the end of the stud. Once in place and tightened down you can bend it back into the proper location as needed. They must have had the stud & nut loosely in the dipstick tube when the trans was mated to the engine on the assembly line then just snugged it up with a wrench. Can't do that so easily trying to install the tube when the transmission is already bolted to the engine or when the body tub is in the way. Piece of cake on an engine crane or on a rolling chassis.
It is usually best to seat the dipstick before the trans is mated to the engine.
