Why? Your driveshafts are splined to your transfer case... nothing to do with the trans. Length wise yes but that's easy for any driveshaft shop.

Yeah that's what I figured since the 80 is longer. So far my 60 has held up, not sure what I'll do when it goes. But if a 4l80 isn't too bad to swap in I'd consider it...

Its been done so many times you can get the parts you need all over the net now. You can even get plug and play harnesses so you don't have have to segment swap the tune or do the old reverse polarity with a relay trick. Its nowhere as easy as swapping in another 60e... that's monkey work. But its a do it once and never worry again type of thing for most people anyway.

I'll look into it more. I'm assuming a stock 80 would be suitable for my needs?

Yep. Add an hd2 shuft kit if you want to but otherwise the stockers are very durable. A better torque converter is a wise investment though. The stock one is such a pig.

You talking bout the stall for the converter or just the stock converter in general?

Stock converter in general. Its just heavy and very inefficient. It stalls to around 2600 rpm in my trucks but in no way does anything for acceleration

What stall you recommend? And what company? Don't do any racing but I tow once in a while

Honestly for most guys 2600-2800 is just fine. I personally like a little more but then the cam and heads dictate that. If the engine is stock mostly less than 3000 will be nice. Converters aren't all equal though. A loose 3000 will drive worse than a tight 3500. Yank, PI, and Circle D all make nice stuff.

At least your tranny hasn't gone out 4 times in about 2 years...

You guys talking about replacing the truck under 100k... Come on its not even broke in yetsent from my truck in a field

I think they are skeered. 50's mentality that its hits 100k and then blow up. Airbagsbknock out their kids, wheels fly off at highway speed, and the odometer shorts out like a Y2K bug.

 

I had a BMW with 268K miles. I ain't skeered. I'll save the money for a Vette.

 

Also, my redneck lingo is done for the day.

 

But seriously, Ryan might have a heart attack before his truck hits 85. Looks how long it took him to put 40k on it. The stress will get to him long before then.

:lol:

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
