At 45? A lot less noise. Heck, it's even way quieter at 70 than it was at 55 before. Especially with the drive shaft not wobbling all over the place ;)
I did buy that from Rockauto.com and they even had the right plate listed. The Rockauto item was and ATP Part # Z135 and beside that was I believe the GM part # of 14077158
I'm still happy with the 700R4 in the 1028/1031. With the 4.56 gearing it gives it nice road speed, the low first makes takeoffs nice and it's cheap!! The whole thing can be done for about $1100.00 or so.
As far as I'm concerned, any OD or different trans in a 1009 is pointless with the...
I just got done doing a 700R4 swap, added an aux. transmission oil cooler and replaced the OEM filter set-up with a spin-on (kind of) type filter. Here is the build thread...The "Road Oiler" gets overdrive
The pumps are Facet brand pumps. NAPA carries that brand. Look at the Facet website to determine which model you would want and see if NAPA can get a better price. Of, as mentioned above, post an ad on here and see what happens.
This truck is so much fun to drive around now that I have it back on the road, and the overdrive is just awesome!
I was doing some plumbing in the basement today, and needed to go into town to the hardware store. On the way out the door, I paused to grab my keys and thought....screw it, I...
It's hard to say about the search terms, most people bring that little box into the conversation when they have a DC circuit problem. It shorts to ground and causes the breaker to trip. It's not needed for the pumps to operate though.
There are two pumps for redundancy, just as you stated...
That my friend is an EMI filter. Covered numerous times on the forum as the reason for the pumps to be causing the DC breaker to trip. It does not affect the operation of the pumps in any way shape or form. If your pumps are not cycling, they are bad.
My TV bracket was a gift from a good friend. Several people have had really good luck finding them in junk yards (the ones you get to scrounge around in and pull the parts yourself) They can be found on old pick-ups, blazers, suburbans and even vans as long as it had the 6.2 with a 700R4 from...
I hated to get rid of it too, but with my back issues, it was just too big for me to maintain properly. I'm still kicking around the idea of turning this thing back into a 1028 with a regular bed down the road.
I can't help you out with those questions, I never researched that far into it.
The 700R4 is a little lighter duty transmission.
I read somewhere that the code for the 4L60, 4L60e and 4L80e were...
4 = 4 speed automatic
L = Longitudinal mount
60 = 6000 # vehicle rating / 80 = 8000#
e = electronic shift
That price for the rebuild is a fair one if they are going to beef it up a little bit. Not to be a Negative Nelly, but does the shop know what truck it's going to go into to offer a warranty with it? That transmission in a 1 ton would almost certainly make them think twice about it. The shift...
I found it in an old run down barn!
Joe asked about total cost earlier...
$160.00 - 700R4 core along with transfer case adapter and a NP241 transfer case
$800.00 - Rebuild with shift kit and diesel governor, plus tax (Including torque converter)
$72.72 - 4 gallons of ATF at Autozone (I had a...
Sorry about that, I had to go compose myself.
The Road Oiler is finally out of the garage!!!!!!
Can you believe I actually passed someone on the highway!!!!! And it wasn't some 90 year old grandma looking through the steering wheel either, it was a full size semi...I WAS GOING 70!!! :grd:
