Yeah until it looses itself up and the only way to fix it is to take the pan off again

I read it again, I still don’t understand

 

they never put a 6.0 in a 2014-2015 camaro, it was a 6.2L ls3, and the supercharged zl1, and the v6.

 

there was no 6.0 motor and there was no LT motor in the camaro prior to 2016

 

so again, I ask the same question, how does an ls oil pan fit an LT motor

i might be off on my years,  the 2014-15 imight have been the last years for 6 speed in camaro, 2015 and up might be 8 speeds,   also the GTO with the 6.0 should have the trans pan. i posted the part number months ago from GM parts for the drain version

 

feel  free to do your own research , as i havnt got around to ordering the said pan yet nor am i a camaro enthusiast

5th Gen Camaro autos had L99 engines. 6.2L engine. Difference from LS3 was in the valvetrain. L99 had 400HP and VVT. LS3 42x no VVT, manual only. 04 GTO had a 4L60E 4-speed trans that used the pan from a 700R4. 05-06 GTO had a 4L65E with the same pan (although all factory "deep" volume compared to the 700R4 they were all based off of).

 

I would check the pan depth and capacity volume before adding a 5th Gen Camaro pan to a Silverado. Don't know much about this mod, just an old LS hot-rodder correcting some info. The G8 with the 6.0 L76 had a 6L80E, perhaps thats what you meant (not GTO). The recent SS (just SS, the Commodore import) also had the 6L80E. These might all be options as well.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
