    4L80E question

    I thought you said you were going manual valvebody? If this is the case you dont need a computer...just a manual valvebody. May want to consider a vacuum modulator mod so you dont have full line pressure all the time. Also a lockup converter is better then none. If you decide to go with a...

    Front axle oil change

    Is the cover leaking? If not dont bother pulling it, just use a pump to pull the old out. Unless you think it is full of metal or you plan on retorquing the caps. Otherwise you are just making a mess that smells like dirty bums. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    My friend's customer had some LS square body swap headers. Driver side landed directly where the shift linkage goes. Passenger side tube hit the floorboard. Both O2 bungs wouldnt allow for a sensor to actually be installed before hitting something. Not sure how much variance could possibly be in...

    LS swap your M1008

    Yeah everything up here turns to junk after about 10 years on the road. Your best bet is to get a complete set up. Its cheaper but then all you really need is a harness, headers, motor mounts, etc. It gets pricey trying to source stuff like sensors. Just tracking down a transmission inspection...

    Was looking for a shop in or near Milwaukee to work on M1008; then did it all myself!

    Good luck with them. I hate to say it but the 17" rim is really where its at for tire selection without looking too big in rim diameter. I was 16.5 for almost a decade. Then just called it quits and had a ton of Ford 16s from the 90's which I like the utility look. Plus both the CUCV and Burb...

    The 16.5 is really no longer supported. I would think a lot before committing to them. There are only a handful of treads offered and they are $$$. If you plan on military takeoffs be prepared for cracks and them running square. Dont get me wrong I loved my MT look but they suck in every other...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Sorry to the OP for ruining your thread. On the plus side early in the thread people will know that having to push a button after shifting to low range is hokey. [emoji1787] Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yeah I think having a manual switch is hokey. That is fine on a race car not on a street driven vehicle. No different then having to manually switch on a fuel pump or cooling fan rather then wiring it correctly. Can it be done yes, is it right, probably not. It really has no bearing on your...

    Yeah I don't know about you but a nicely reman'd injection pump makes me happy inside. Congratulations on your parts store experience. In general, the parts you get amd the help you recieved is going to be a shiny turd when you go to a big box auto parts. I have found that Napa or similar is...

    Or spend a $100 on a clamp on reluctor wheel to do it right. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yes but the ECM still needs to know when it is in low range since a 2.7 or 1.9:1 ratio change occurs from the trans output to the tcase tailshaft. It cant guess, when the ratios dont match it goes into limp mode or throw a DTC. What you are saying is true but it is only half of the problem when...

    Yeah and inconsistent sizing leaves you at the end of the adjustment after the belts break in. You end up going to a size shorter and rolling it on. I agree, Gates are probably the industry standard for automotive. I have transitioned to now using a thin layer of rtv on both sides of a paper...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Yes but the problem is that there is no location inside of a four-wheel drive transmission to read the output shaft speed. So even if you put a converter box on the cable drive it still is in the wrong location. If I remember correctly, I used the LS fuel pump inside of my tank on the factory...

    Ac Delco 43254 is what fits the 6.2 engine. Looks hard to find, I'd go to Delphi as a second one up. Why wouldn't use anything but the OEM part? Correct answer...glow plugs. Do not use Wellman. Other then that, use OEM. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    I think the easy way is to use this kit: https://jagsthatrun.com/products/parts-for-4l60-e-reluctor-ring-relocation Dont feel bad, the truck my buddy took on to fix was in the same boat. A specialty shop didnt know what to do. The company that sold him a harness didnt include a low range...

    LS Swap into M1028 LQ9 and 4l80E

    Off the top of my head I don't think it does. Only the tcases that come in the LS trucks does. I believe there is a 4wd computer that works with the front axle actuator, tcase actuator, and 4wd switch on the dash. That computer signals the engine ECM when it is in low range. I think the easiest...

    Haha Yeah made and works is about as good as it gets. It won't be NOS but its the same part the dealer puts in the box that says Chevrolet and hands it over the counter at triple the price though. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk
