I know this is an old thread but I thought I would post my experience with Jeremy's Sliders. I ordered these back in July and he had them ready in about a month. He found very economical shipping and they did fit in my SUV.
I waited about 6 months and I am retired now, and since the Florida...
I was installing some sound/heat insulation and I got to the driver's side under the dash area and I spotted this thing pictured below. Does not look like something the previous owner installed, but what do I know? It goes inside a tube that just is opened on the other end just out of the...
I thought about writing Gov. Desantis a very polite letter about his rouge DMV I experienced when I attempted to register mine that came street legal and registered in another state. Long story, but basically the DMV invalidated my title for me.
But then I thought with all the corruption in the...
I just started my interior improvement project and just removed all the nasty floor mats and tunnel insulation.
A good friend who did this extremely well advised me that he used two layers of Dynamat, one specifically for heat, and another for sound. He then used 3M double sided tape to hold...
I see those that run down the trans tunnel. But the ones one the floor, below the brake and accelerator pedals must be different. I don't see glue or bolts or screws? Maybe I am missing the obvious :(
I tried to do some searching but I am not finding what I need, so I thought I would ask.
I may not have the correct name for them, but I want to carefully remove the interior "hush" panels, or whatever they are called. They are green and look like they are made of some kind of foam.
For my...
Sucess!
Thanks for all the help from the forum members, especially @springer1981 @Mogman @Retiredwarhorses @Mullaney
I seem to have two minor problems I found on my short test drive. Seems there is a knocking noise that changes with vehicle speed. I thought it might be something on the front...
Looks very muck like the one I just used. The part number @springer1981 kindly provided me was GM TH160 which is now a lot more than when I bought it months ago.
I figured out the pinouts based on instructions provided by US Shift.com.
The US-Shift.com controller wants .22V minimum to auto...
Thank you! I have a good soldering iron with a tip that is in bad shape so I used that it you are indeed correct - Easy Peeasy!
In case this helps someone in the future, here is what the shaft without the cam, with the pin remaining on the shaft. Problems just melt away with the knowledgeable...
I wanted to post another question regarding installing the TPS so I don't make an expensive mistake.
I got off the Fan CutOff Switch. There is a black cam for the Fan CutOff switch left on the shaft as shown below. I assume this black plastic cam needs to be removed. Sounds like I need to...
I am just about at the point of installing the TPS on my 4L80 conversion. I wanted to ask about relocating the Fan Cutoff Switch. Might you have any pictures on where / how you relocated the Fan Cutoff Switch?
Notice gap at right arrow, and missing bolt hole on left. The holes on the right side of the picture appear to be ok. I guess if I had good fab skills I could make it fit. But I don't!
A minor set back that I can use some advice on please.
Looks like the flywheel dust cover for the TH400 is different than the 4L80? Now that I tried to mount the original TH400 dust cover the bolt holes seem to be off and it leaves a gap near the bottom of the 4L80.
Aside from rummaging...
Just an update in case my experience is helpful to anyone else in the future.
Lesson 1: Don't try to use a cheap Chinese tranny jack that is powered by a manually operated 1/2" ratchet to lift one of these beasts! While lowering the old TH400 with the gearbox attached is no problem for one of...
Making more slow progress. Fuel tank is replaced without a lot of drama. Well except for a neighbor that posted the below. And the neighborhood Gestapo that sited me for working on my truck MY driveway.
With no transmission sitting in there, I was able to remove to the two bolts for the...
I made some progress and got the 3 speed out without drama. Next I will be replacing the leaking fuel tank with a new one thanks to the good deals that @springer1981 pointed out to me (y) I also have more space now to get the last two remaining bolts from the drinker's side exhaust manifold...
I am not really an tranny expert as you can well tell, but I am curious what this thingy is on the drinker's side of the front? Looks like it is some kind of vacuum diaphram? The 4L80 does not seem to have it so I assume I just plug the hose.
