How is the remote sensor setup
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Nice. Just be sure you post some good pictures! Ha haI picked up a 98 2wd 4l80e for $110 on Friday. That being said I will have to convert it to a 4wd setup. I'm gonna go through the transmission myself as I own/operate a shop so I'm thinking I may make a "brief" thread on going through the 4l80e. If that would have any appeal to anyone and/or hasn't already been done. Obviously one can just acquire a tear down manual pretty cheap so it's not exactly nessecary.
The only problem is all the special tools needed. I spent over $500.00 for all my 4L80E tools. If I was going to do this I would go with the 6L90E . Though all the special tools cost me over $2000.00 so the average guy should just take it to a transmission shop to get it rebuilt.I picked up a 98 2wd 4l80e for $110 on Friday.

The 6L90 would be awesome, but it would probably be a lot harder to find a used one. And probably more expensive too.The only problem is all the special tools needed.

I almost got one for $300.00 . It was out of a destroyed 2014 1 ton Chevy. The guy was parting it out and I got there too late !The 6L90 would be awesome, but it would probably be a lot harder to find a used one. And probably more expensive too.

If you get one out of a 4X4 truck you will not need that adapter.One item required, if using a NP205;
GM 4WD 6L90E 6 Speed Automatic Transmissions to GM NP205 Circular 6 Transfer case.
from Advance Adapter, $695.00
"GM's new Hydra-Matic 6L90 transmissions are the first of a new family of modular six-speed rear-drive transmissions. The transmissions feature two overdrive gears and a wide, 6.04:1 gear ratio spread to improve performance and fuel economy when compared with conventional four- and five-speed automatic transmissions. With two overdrive gears, engine rpm is reduced by approximately 9 percent at 60 mph - a reduction to about 1,500 rpm. Lower engine rpm can bolster fuel economy because less fuel is used. A lower-rpm cruising speed also enhances smoothness and reduces noise heard in the vehicle's cabin."
Nice, but this is going to be very expensive.

FWIW;If you get one out of a 4X4 truck you will not need that adapter.
You will need special tools to assemble it though. Or you run the risk of damaging seals and the Teflon rings.i need some helpful info. apparently there are two different length output shafts to choose from for those of us converting 2wd 4l80's. Can anyone tell me if i need the 3 3/4" or the 5" long output shaft to go with the NP205? Thanks
Also to comment on the special tools, I haven't spent anything on special tools to disassemble the transmission.
You can do that and run the risk of a damaged seal ring and not know until it is in the truck. Or you can buy the correct tool and do it right.Actually you can use a feeler guage and another tool that you can make for about $1
