Looks like the thermostat is available on Amazon. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

You gamble with all of it but personally I'd rather buy OEM or same brand as original supplier. It should be made by AC Delco. Deal breaker, probably not. I have almost ten years on thermostat amd lift pump woth no issues which is nice. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

I'd probably only put genuine Delco thermostat or lift pump in there. You are already committed timewise, why not put a better quality part in for not a lot more money. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Yes and no. Either the 60 or 80 at minimum need a transmission output speed. Input isnt necessary but helps with monitoring slippage and converter lockup. Now for output you can out a electronic sender in place of the tcase cable which feeds vehicle speed to the ECM. The issue with that is when...

Just drop the dough on a good aftermarket like Red Head, PSC, Borgeson, etc. Parts store rebuilds are really hot or miss and not much less then the aftermarket. Its steering dude...buy once cry once. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

I think you need a different pan or something like an ORD crossmember. Good luck with the build. I helped a friend out with a swap exactly like yours on a K10. Guy had his truck at a specialty shop for two years amd they finished nothing. Hacked a harness and laid it on the hood. I told my...

That is going to be a nice rig! Post up some pics. Are you doing AC too? Be curious to see what setup you go with. I would be easy on the 4L60 with that kinda power. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Nice work! 4L80 is cake, even more so with a 208 tcase. Moving the crossmember, shift linkage, and tcase linkage is just redrilling and extending rods. No rocket science. Controller is pretty simple. Hardest part is choking dowm the cost of a TPS sensor for the DB2 pump. This is way easier...

Yeah new trucks are cool because dealerships amd extended warranties are so thorough [emoji848] You do realize that for like $4-5k you could put an LS, transmission with one or two overdrives, and have AC right? Thats like a a gear vendors overdrive and a driveshaft refit cost. I understand...

Yeah add some tall gears to an underpowered engine and numb transmission. Why not drag an anchor while you are at it. Sure the TH400 is beefy in stock form and yes the 700r4 when new sucked. Just like every new transmission, it has its teething years. Glad the OP is tackling the job, good for...

700r4 is great for the ratios, lower first and taller overdrive. Also no electronics. Downsides it is a 700r4 so if heavy duty use is in the picture better spend the money on the hard parts. 4L80 is essentially a TH400 with an oerdrive so gears will be the same except that it will click into...

You can do your own homework but the gear vendors leaves a lot to be desired considering how much money it costs. Your best bet if you are strapped for money is larger tires. If you have the money for a transmission then a 4L80 or 6L80 is a much better choice. Of course for that money you can...

IP replacement should run 4 maybe 5 hours. Anymore and they are robbing you. They are simple as lomg as you line the timing mark up you are golden. Biggest issue is not dropping the three bolts down the timing cover. No pressure! I did a flexplate by gettimg longer bellhousing bolts. Swap them...

Control boards are as old as me. They are just unreliable at this point. Sure all that other stuff is important but the almost 40 year old circuitry is junk. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Post whatever you find from Doug. I'll let you know what I find. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Good luck His kit was turn key bolt in. Hope you get a hold of him. I'll see if I can find my paperwork. I coule swear his cell number was on it. Dont feel bad if you cant get it. There are a ton of options out there. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Funny that I happened to be on my tablet and saw a notification on this. You want a controller from B4Thundr. Not sure if he is still selling them. Maybe try a PM. I know a lot of people gave him flac for trying to sell them which is just dumb. Try and track him down amd give him money! Worst...

You guys understand that even though the tank is poly the sender and hardware is steel. Yes some may be zinc plated but the fuel line stubs or studs/nuts will eventually rust anyway? So the tank material is again nothing to be losing sleep over. The straps, lines, and hardware is still made of...

I always just bought a tank, installed it, never thought about it again. I dont think anyone is going to criticize fisheyes in the paint either. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

As much as I'd like to continue to contribute I don't have any more time. I've been really busy getting in touch with all of the local scrap yards to let them know that their engines and transmissions are are worthless. But seriously, you are like $500 a way from being back up and running. I...
