For some reason I wasn't to chatty in this video 🤷♂Must be after replacing your 569th GM truck transmission you just don't have a lot to say. I think the next one I may talk more 😁
My two most used guns:
*-Astro Pneumatic Tool 1828 ONYX 3/8" Nano Impact Wrench v2 - 500ft/lb:* amzn.to/3fEScEY
*-Astro Pneumatic Tool 1822 ONYX 1/2" Nano Impact Wrench v2 - 500ft/lb:* amzn.to/3fLijtK
I have both and use them daily as a trans tech.
Was thinking it was an asmr tranny job or you got your teeth wrenched on... onward and upward either way... till the next one...
It was like watching those guys that go camping alone in the snow and don't say anything the whole video
I agree Eric ,any automatic transmission that does not last at a minimum of 50k miles needs to be redesigned.
NTW - enjoyed watching a pro at work. And, admittedly, could hear your comments and witty remarks in my mind.
When I was 30 years old I would grab the transfer case like that and set it on the floor.
Now I'm 53 and I'm like "Can I get a hand with this transfer case ?"
Really sucks getting old....
I got 10 yrs on you, let me tell ya...Your going to wish you were 53 in 10 yrs lol
@@scrappy7571 Much respect to you sir.
I don't think my body will last another ten years...👍
Darn tootin!!!
The 4L60/65E kept a lot of mechanics busy. 4 neutrals and a reverse. GM's finest gem.
Still better then a 6L80 and 6L90.
Thier not to bad of a transmission. People just overheat them and never change the fluid. Then they have the “I know a guy who can do it cheaper” rebuild it. And losing reverse is usually user error not letting the transmission engage reverse before accelerating.
@@samsquires2877 Those turds make the 700/4L60 look bullet proof.
mine has 245,000 in my 2003 chevy avalanche it's better then any new tansmission these new trucks come in in any brands out there
@Perseus1275 GM renamed the 700R4 in 1989 or 1990 to the 4L60. Still a 700R4 just with a different name. Both have a TV cable and a mechanical governor. Not a 100% on that but pretty sure.
One thing is certain Eric, this video is not boring. Thanks for your efforts to bring us along and show us how a professional does it.
This video is great but it's no where near as good as a brake change video.
Enjoyed every minute.Thanks
The good old Fluid Film seems to have done a great job keeping this Chevy from crossing over to "the crusty side". Lanolin for the win! 👍😁
Unfortunately no one around my area uses it
I love the stuff I live in michigan and we have the salt too and I've sprayed them for the last 5 or 6 years and it's worth every penny. I just bought the equipment and do it myself it is a little messy but not bad, takes about an hour and your good for another year.
No fluid film in northeast Ohio i get Silverado Krowned every year. Seems to be working.
Buy 8 cans and do it yourself or spend for the pail and applicator
That truck is in immaculate condition. Where is the rust!!!??? The good ol' 4L60E transmission. Nice job. This is a rare classic SMA video for sure. Keep it up Eric!😎
I haven't installed a GM transmission in years, but I still have my collection of long extensions for that top bellhousing bolts at ready. Thanks for the memory.
Living proof that fluidfilm works! Thanks for the video!
That underside looks phenomenal, that fluid film works great
feel like eric is the final boss in the mechanic tier list. can watch this man all day i dont even know how to change my own oil
Boring...never! Every video from Mr. O only increases my respect for his ability. Something fascinating about watching a skilled professional display his abilities. Another great video and can hardly wait for part 2 and possibly part 3.
I was wondering how well that fluid film worked, looks really good under there
I’m, like you, also impressed with how well preserved the undercarriage looked. This video should be sponsored by fluid film.
That's better than undercoatings that can trap moisture.. I hate rust.. this is the new way!
It works great. I use it here in pa
Zero doubt my car would be at Wilburt's by now if I hadn't started Fluid Film'ing it some years back
That must be a southern truck; that thing is damned near immaculate. And it's a 2007? Gawd-dayum.
Looks like the Fluid Film kept that truck alive long enough to wear out a transmission, despite the PRNY's best efforts. Looks great under there.
The comment of the fluid film made me take a more critical look at the underbelly of this guy, and boy howdy it really is a night and day difference compared to some of the previous cars that've rolled through your shop that were falling apart with rust.
Any time I thought my job sucked I just have to watch SMAR . WOW you are a hard worker.
Love the awkward segues to the Facebook, Insty, and Patreon… CLASSIC! 😂
The last, and I mean the last transmission I ever did was a 1995 Cadillac Fleetwood 4L60E transmission.
An absolute nightmare to put a Master Rebuild kit into that monster only to have the owner's girlfriend claim that a snake flew into the window and that was why she ran off the road and wrecked the car. That is a true, real life, story.
hey eric, thanks for making these, believe it or not I use your videos as a getaway from my daily life and the added knowledge i learn along the way helps alot as well
Same. I don't even own a car at the moment and like to watch his videos. Maybe I'll pick something that'll help me next time I do own a vehicle.
Same here
When your trans fluid looks like a Kia oil change you know she's done.
Indexing the driveshaft, very nice.
How is that underbody so perfect? WOW.
I, like a lot of people, watch your videos Eric to unwind, take my mind off what I'm doing and just enjoy watching a master at work. I will say this, you patience level absolutely blows my mind. With all the noise and distractions (door dinger, telephone, cellphone), I would go completely bonkers. This video just demonstrates your methods for doing stuff without explaining it. After watching literally every video you've put out (that I'm aware of), I am constantly blown away that you know where all the nuts and bolts and wires and screws all go to go back together... Either that or you've got some wicked video editing skills :) Thanks for bringing us along!
Had the “pleasure” of changing out a 4L80 in friends plow truck on the ground. Northern Mn rust bucket, such a treat.
You have entered the twilight zone with this 1 being clean...... cant believe it's not falling apart
It's a pleasure to watch a master technician at work. He makes a difficult job look relatively easy.
Kudos to the owner of the truck for taking such good care of it. Taking this thing apart must be like a vacation for ya Eric...it's Rainman levels of easy 🤣
Good to see you wearing safety gargles on your highballs! I got a blob of sand in one of my eyes many years ago working under a truck, and the trip to the ER made me rethink my approach. I was very lucky to have no permanent damage. Rock on, Eric O!
Re my previous post, I live in Australia where we used to have the GM (Holden) Commadore. I had 2 of these with the 3.8 litre engine and the same gl60e tranny. A lot of owners had to have rebuilds after about 200,000 km. I knew about this so made sure the fluid was changed every 30,000km and flushed every 60.000. Both station wagons loaded with tools of trade did 500,000km with no transmission problems whatsoever and engine oil change every 6000km.
Look forward to part 2 Lots of progress in this video Eric O @South Main Auto Repair LLC
I worked at a 4WD shop in the San Joaquin valley in CA in the 1980s. During cotton picking season we would have turbo 400 transmissions and converters lined up and ready to go because the farmers would try to tow their huge overloaded cotton trailers to the gin and puke their transmissions. In and out in 3 hours or less after digging out a ton of dirt from under the truck.
I didn't think a 4×4 could pull a tractor. Wow.
I know that smell, like Lynyrd Skynyrd says " ohh that smell" Thanks for the video. God bless the O family.
This is awesome, I usually do one of those in a day, but I have the transmission waiting, I find that the transmission in Chevys are much easier to change than almost anything else, the only hard bolt is the Bell bolt on top, thank you for sharing, always a pleasure to watch, and the amount of knowledge I have learned about wiring from you has been immersible. Thank you so much, I wish you were my shop teacher in highschool.
Sometimes being chatty makes for a great video but can also cost a little extra time. I think I can say for the most of us that just watching you do your work is great too.We get what your doing and understand how these things work. T?hanks for bringing us along.
Free tip Tuesday, if you "suck" out the trans fluid before you remove the pan-less fluid leaks, and the pan will be lighter...it's my step 1 as the batt cables get removed and whatever else up top...
You'd almost think Eric has done this once before... Nice work!
It’s all about the tools and the right equipment. You can easily forget how heavy this stuff is. The mastery of all the tools needed in hand and the right size is a work of art. Well done making it look easy. Sign of a professional!
Never boring always keeping up with the moments of joyous disassembly and then replacement! It's good for the heart and soul to see so much peaceful rhythm in the shop.
After moving to Minnesota and owning a 96 Rusty Ranger that was here its whole life plus seeing all the rusty crusty stuff you work on daily, it was definitely different how "clean" this one looks!! Rust free cars is one of the few things I liked about living down south.
That's gotta be one of the cleanest GMT800's I've seen in awhile!
Man, you make look easy. I bet this truck belongs to a customer that lives somewhere south, way south, maybe a subscriber, lol. Clean, no rust anywhere.
A true testament to fluid film that does not look like a NY truck let alone of of its “vintage”
People that do this professionally, such as yourself, are amazing. Great video to follow along. No bs, just here's how you get it done. Thank you.
It bring back the days when change I change transmission back in late seventies and early eighties
miss the old days of the turbo 400 just a couple trans lines a vac line and a few bolts an hour out and in
I love those two sounds the best. The torch lighting off and the air hammer.
This 15 year old Chevy must have come from some alternative universe where DRNY weather is balmy year round and salt is unheard of. Good to see it getting some love
Hey it's been a while since we had a big two-parter engine/tranny replacement!!!! Love it!! Thanks, Eric!! Always appreciate your videos!
Just did a 4l60E about 6 months ago... glad you are having as much fun as I did. LOL!!!
Brings back memories of pulling the NV3500 out of my 2005 4x4 every 15k miles or so 😂
No issues whatsoever out of the transfer case I rebuilt using Mr. O's video as my only instructions though 😎
Thanks for allowing us to follow you along with this one. I can just imagine the time it takes to edit/assemble all of this - on top of the day job!
I'm glad you made the comment about Fluid Film, I'm about to have my 22 Equinox undercoated with fluid film. My last vehicle a 2005 Cavalier died because of an engine cradle rust through. Thank-you again.
this truck is really clean for the year. the transfer case looks almost new.
Truly a highly intelligent and respectable mechanic. Those are rare nowadays. Always a good video being put out regardless what you’re doing. Really appreciate the knowledge transfer! Thanks Mr. O!
Proof of concept, film works very clean best advertising out there
He may not have the paper work or whatever you need, but he is a MASTER mechanic in every sense of the word. A pleasure to watch !
Just had my 50k fluid and filter change on my 2012 . Hope to never need a replacement. Nice job as usual.
It never ceases to amaze me that mfg's put drains in every part that has fluid except transmissions and differentials !!
Undercarriage is Incredibly Clean for a Truck on the East Coast. 👍
My wife ALWAYS tells me to turn down the volume when I’m watching a SMA video
I always enjoy slipping in to find out it's a infamous 4Lslippy being replaced.
Fluid film advertisement, big difference when you do it every year. Atlas
I remember doing clutches and transmissions laying on the ground now at 64 I wouldn’t dare but since my son in law just put a 60X40 shop behind the house with a lift I can do my best Eric O impersonation and stand and fix things. I’ve always felt such satisfaction in repairing my vehicles. I’m a home improvement contractor for almost 48 years and building a house isn’t as much fun as building a car.
Early morning, drinking coffee, watching someone else pull a trans instead of me. Can't beat that!
Oh man so jealous watching you with that delicate touch heating those cat bolts so they rattle right off. Need to learn that skill up here in Canada where rust is a member of the family.
🤣 "I can do it you can do it" No bloody way Mr. O! There is no way I would attempt what you are doing in this video. You Da Man! 😁 Good luck part II, III, etc.
I have never heard of a GM 4 L60 going bad.
I always love the "If I could do it, you could do it" part. I don't think I'm going to roll around in my driveway for this job! :)
Great video! Always a treat to watch you repair vehicles chatty or not... 🙂
You make it look so easy. Thanks for the video!
I see Milw..... everywhere on TH-cam. It's refreshing to see you use air tools. I use batteries in the driveway and air in my garage.
I just did this same job last week , really impressive to see you lift the transfer case out by hand
im always happy with a new video
Lol 😂I used to do this on my back in the dirt at home with old jacks lumps of wood and lots of bloody knuckles 🎉
This channel is awesome. I really enjoy the content, Eric. You have increased my mechanical knowledge base drastically.
Love the heavier content! I learn something every video.
Love that nuts and bolts stuff. I don't do transmissions at my shop so it's great to see the process anyway. Thanks for sharing and patiently waiting for Part 2 and or Part 3.
Much respect how quick, clean and efficient you do your work. Thank you for these videos, helps me a lot and saves me money by working on my own truck. Can't wait for more.
What a time for this video. Just told today I need my 3rd tranny in my 09 silverado. Had a 2000 silverado with 280,000 original engine, tranny,transfer case, even wheel bearings! parked it and bought an 09. Worst mistake I've ever made. The AFM/lifter issues and the tranny issues. This thing has swore me off anything GM ever again.
Pretty much all 06/07 to 12 GM is trash. It was the bailout years after all. Later stuff is kinda better, but Ford has been reasonably consistent. These days I'd worry more about not paying through the nose vs brand loyalty, unless of course it's a known stinker.
The underside of this 2007 looks so much newer than my 2016, looks like the Fluid Film was a good idea! Darn Northeast.
Hello 😃as always enjoy your videos n always learn something new
Hey Eric thanks For making my day a little bit brighter I love watching you do stuff.
Great job. Take as many videos as you want. We will watch them all......Be safe
OOOOOooooooooooooNICE!!! a long awaited for 2 parter......SWEET!!!!
That's a nice trick with the hose pick on the stainless steel driveshaft boot clamp! :)
The combination of 2007 truck and that condition and NY state don't make sense until you throw in the magical binder "fluid film treated". Impressive how rust-free that car is.
I usually don't like "part videos" not with the last few being as long as they have been, I really can't complain. Honestly glad that when you do these they aren't split into several parts just because you are looking to make more money.
Opinion: I much prefer to see the diagnostic videos, even though you considered them to be “boring”, Eric. They are quite educational.
Just got off work and a new SMA video 🤗 happy very happy!!! Thanks Big E!
love the videos always professional work and quality.
Good job so far! I've done lots of them! Thanks Mr. "O"!!
It's amazing how heavy that transfer case will get in 20 more years. I used to be able to man handle them just like that too! Now l need help. Oh to be young again!
The only way about 80 lb. What are you 70? Lol just kidding
@@SouthMainAuto flatbacked three of them with my old man… he’d pick it, plop it on my chest and kick push the creeper I was laying on under the truck.. laughing his @$$ off. He’d run around to the other side with bolts and call me a 🐱if I didn’t have it in place and he had to help lift and finagle it in. It’s hard to lift when you’re laughing! God I miss him. Sorry, watchin this video brought back some good memories.
You taught me how to rebuild my transfer case and another TH-camr taught me how to rebuild my transmission. Unbelievable resource for knowledge and mechanical wisdom. Thanks Mr O. God bless you and your family.
Transmission bench?
@@budc2578 Just used a utility style rolling cart and cut a hole in it to stand the case up on end with the output shaft in. Worked great and cleaned up easy.
love a classic GM transmission video
No boring or stupid video here or any of your videos Eric top notch.Can't wait for Part 2 and maybe 3.
Thanks for the videos it helps this old man pass the time just waiting for my timer to expire lol
I own a 1974 GMC C1500 and had the TH350 rebuilt last winter. Cost all of $900.00 including removal and reinstall. It pays to own old stuff.
Great work!
Cant believe I blasted all those header/exhaust bolts loose without a hot wrench. Only broke one but looks a lot easier when it's at temp. Neutral drop sent me here and I ain't lookin back!
The master at work. Roll on Part 2
Great video, this video are the videos i really enjoy, motor and transmission rebuilds..gettn down and dirty..thanks for posting it
