I would not want a 4l80e in any n/a truck, the higher first gear and od will make driving it less enjoyable, plus because of the 4l80's heavier internals and torque converter it makes the truck more laggy when taking off. Stick with a 4l60e, which will be a direct swap. I'd try to find an engine and trans pair out of a wrecked truck, maybe even the wiring harness and computer too, it would make the swap that much easier. I think you will need a new radiator, shroud, hoses, too
From his video, donuts in the snow lol.
Agreed with Fuso. Find a complete motor/trans/wiring from a wrecking yard and have the shop just go through it to be sure, throw a cam/converter in it and do a mild build on the trans so it holds up
Clear those lights, makes a world of difference.
Saved your pic too Ryan lol

Cool thanks for the help dudes. So looks like it will def be a 4l60e then. Any bonus to going 6.0 vs 5.3 on the street? obvi 6.0 makes more power, just wondering if its worth the extra cash.
I was going to do a new raditatior with e fans too while im in there. Any shop recommedations? I know khp does it right?
Imo. Shit was a solid sheet of ice monday. Melted yesterday afternoon. Actually snowed this morning. Melted around noon. Wtf lol.
My s3alant isn't working worth a fuck., its annoyingSo sick of winter. At least the sealant is doing its job...
Imo. 6.0/60e swap with cam, lts, gears, stall, efans, tune. Grab power seats/door equipment and harness since you are replacing computer. Sell truck to me. Prawfit. :shake:
Come do them for me lol they need to either be replaced or polished up

That's the plans, other than power seats and doors. Adding that is just more shit to break! WHy you need power seats in a reg cab? lmao!! If I did all this crap ill never sell it, too much in it
whats wrong with them? Is there anyone in DFW anyone recommends? I feel like theres no one around here that can do it that's trustworthy
Ship them to d1nman or tiller
I'd give you a pretty penny for it in a year or so if it had power doors. Not as concerned aboot seats cause would do bencg swap :secret:
Not shedding water worth a fuck and still has some haze left on the paint from the residue that I can't get off. Truck should be going to Justin before the summer for a complete correction and beeds. I just wanted to see what I could do with it. I'm going to try to get him to wetsand it too.
This is probably the first time truck has ever been polished and only my third time polishing so I wasn't expecting it to be perfect. Products can't do all the work and I'm not a pro so to have flaws left is understandable. I've planned on Justin doing his thing for over a year, just never been able to line it up.
Yep! Does this at least once a year, and the entire region shuts down as a result of it.... lol
Here's how mines doing, it's the scg acrylic sealant I piked up before they screwed over dvk. Put it on the front clip and doors. Didn't get to do the bed. This is on uncorrected paint as well. I had just sprayed down the truck with water (soap wasn't working).
