There's nothing done to the actual transmission or valve body for a 4l80e swap. Not sure what exactly you mean by re-engineered. None of the controllers out there have any special magic on how they control the transmission or in any way make it function differently. There is a lot of...

Agreed! The older I get, the less I want to do things the hard way.

Not tied, but very close!

I'm posting the code. I'll post the schematic as well when it's done. It's not complex at all. Not sure why you're pushing the us shift kit when the entire point of the thread is to open source/DIY.

Just looked at that kit. $585 for the unit. $140 for the harness. $100 for the TPS. Uno $10 3d printed case $0 LCD screen $10 4L80e plug/pigtail from junkyard $10 Shield prototype board $2 IRF540's $10 VR, buttons, misc $10 GM TPS $40 Basically about $100 in hardware.

I might move up to the mega, but thus far at least for the manual control, the code takes up 4% of a uno. I'm sure when I start fleshing this out with more functions, that space will be gobbled up. I'm thinking about later versions with the LCD screen and having inputs to toggle through RPM...

Certainly. The default start/failsafe setting will also be 2nd gear/TCC unlocked. But this code (and I can't stress it enough) is JUST for a proof of concept for now. The TPS, Engine RPM, and VSS will all be added onto this. So I'll probably end up using the 5V side of it for reference and...

Also I'm going to post a link over in the HMMWV section since this could also be used there too.

I've pretty much decided that the 4L80e is the path I'm going to take with my CUCV. But the $600+ for a controller stings. I've been tinkering with a arduino to control it. Right now this is only a proof of concept. The LEDs would actually be IRF540's to control the solenoids. There...

I turbo'd my 1008 with 6.5 parts. I'd highly recommend that over the banks kit. Unless you like paying more.

The 4BT certainly has vibration issues. But the 6BT is "smooth" compared to it. I don't need another vehicle. Honestly I need less vehicles. I'd hate to pay insurance on another one to sit. I already have 8 vehicles insured. I'm just torn on the direction to take. I'll do the 4l80e...

The turbo is night and day difference on the 6.2 to be honest. I went from 6.2NA to 6.2NA with 37's and it was a dog. The turbo brought it back to what it was and a little more. I know I wouldn't be using OD for towing. But I was more interested in that for cruising unloaded. I *think* it'd...

So I'm at a point where I've considered buying a new truck. But I just don't want to get into another payment. I wish my 1008 was an extended cab to haul my kids around. But it'll do I guess. After last Friday's towing event, I've decided it needs some upgrades. Currently it has a 6.2 with...

It has 3 7k axles under it for 21k. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Yes. 28 mile trip to the shop. Back roads half the way.

Yesterday I pushed smokey harder than he's ever been pushed. Don't try this at home. That's a R100D with a VP100. I was probably close to 26K or more.

We're postponing this upgrade for now, there's a issue with the feedback system. I'm not about to loose everyone's feedback. (Mainly because I don't want y'all coming after me with pitchforks LOL)

What: The forum will be going through a software conversion and update. When: Tentatively scheduled to start Friday evening 12/7/19, exact time still TBD. Why: There's several reasons actually. The forum runs on a forum software known as vBulletin. vBulletin used to be the front runner in...
