    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Since I last posted I've come to the conclusion that for guys running 37" tires coupled with 4L80, you're done as far as trans/gearing/ output is concerned. Turbo would be the next logical step. But I've since learned that the 6.2L Bank's setups are non-waste-gated units which, after reading...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Hey Wayne, glad to hear the news on the Hudson bridge project, hope all you guys can get out there and get-er-done! YUP!

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    This is a great thread--- thanks to ALL you guys!!! Was considering 4L80E swap sometime ago but instead went with the Gear Vendors install to my 1008, finally, and it's a wee-bit disappointing that with the TH400/GVunit, you really only gain about 8-10 mph speed increase in overdrive. So now...
