Davy, heck it ain't gone nowhere. That $2500 Bowtie 700R4 is still sitting on it's pallet in my shop. I turn 67 years old tomorrow and it seems the older I get, the dang busier I get. For the past year I've been helping my wife relocate her business to a bigger facility and as a result, there...

If I was going to do serious off-roading I would consider the Atlas case. However my truck will never see dirt much less mud and the 208 is certainly capable of hauling groceries. My truck sat on a NG base in Arizona for 25 years and only had 12,338 miles when I got it. All fluids looked new...

Thanks Gimp. I have the confidence to forge ahead, just don't have the extra time right now. I am helping my wife build a new facility for her business and because she controls 95% of the money and 100% of the sex, I must do as she so instructs. Regarding the entire transmission swap...

Yeah right! Here are a couple photos of the Bowtie 700R4 after I got it uncrated. The second photo shows the Advance Adapters 32-spline output shaft to properly mate with my NP208.

Nope. Still trying to find the time. I am hopeful to get it done in this lifetime.

I have everything on hand. Just trying to find the time to do it.

Have you installed an automatic transmission before? No. Full of confidence, but empty of experience in this regard.

Guys (and gals), I need to ask for opinions and help again. I have all parts required to make the 700R4 swap, but now I simply cannot find a transmission shop I can get comfortable with. So, I am seriously considering doing the work myself. But here's the rub - I have never swapped a...

Recovry, The price of the Bowtie K-case 700R4 with the Advance Adapters 32-spline output shaft was $1,990.00. The HD diesel torque converter added another $199, and the brake-switch lock-out kit was $45. Add another $60 for crating and $175 for LTL shipping from California to Kentucky, and the...

TOOK THE PLUNGE Today I ordered the Level 2 700R4 from Chris Gardner at Bowtie Overdrive. I just wanted to pass along to others on SS who may be considering this tranny swap how important it was (to me) to procure the 700R4 from somebody who also owns and drives a M1008. Chris knows exactly...

FULL CIRCLE. I have come full circle and decided to forget the 4L80E and stick with the 700R4. I apologize for any confusion and/or consternation my earlier post may have caused. My decision is final. I am purchasing a Level 2 700R4 K-case unit from Bowtie Overdrives in Hesperia, CA...

Here is the listed information on those 4L80E units. I would like to request help from someone familiar with this to make sure I am getting the correct unit with the Park pawl. Thanks in advance for the help. Remanufactured 4L80E Transmission for HMMWV Applications OEM Part Number 57K3570...

Well, yall want to hear something crazy? After months of thinking, pondering, wondering, and reading other SS members posts, I am now of the mind to forget the 700R4 and install a 4L80E instead. There is a company on a familiar auction site which purports to have a large quantity of military...

I just could not get comfortable with Mad Dog Transmissions. Every time I spoke with them on the phone they seemed arrogant and condescending. I emailed them a couple times but no response. So I decided to check their feedback score on Ebay, and Bingo! Only a 92.9% positive rating! Such a...

OK folks, I am ready to get rid of my TH400 and install a 700R4. I already have the factory TV bracket, new GM OEM TV cable, correct tall GM 14038663 adapter, and a good used 27-spline input for my NP208 transfer case. In fact, the only thing I don't have is the 700R4 tranny itself. And this...
