    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Interesting on the heat issue. So do trucks that have 4l80E's from the factory have aux coolers? I suppose I had better get ready to get one since it looks like both you guys are having the same problem. So this is a 4l80E thread. And like me I am sure there are a fair amount of people...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Well the 4L80E is already on their work bench. So after a pretty long conversation on it I am going to have to go with that. Gotta have faith sometimes. It will go well. On the .060 gaskets, Quad4x4 a Montana company has them. Honestly everything they have is priced so high it makes a guy...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    I thought 2K was high also. So before I took it down I called around. Same price at every place. Maybe they know each other... This guy was recommended by someone I bought a jeep from. I spoke with the trans builder several times on the phone asking about a few things before going there. He...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Well TCI is out. Thanks for posting on that. Yes Rustystud my 205 is making noise. It was not the 205 my truck came with. The one it came with being a slip yoke got replaced with the fixed yoke syncro unit when the guy welded my TH400 cracked case a couple months ago. He had a HD...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    I just got off the phone with Kevin at US shift or Baumann Electronic Controls (BEC). I specifically asked about the Tach signal for the Quick 1 controller. He said it was NOT needed for the unit to control the transmission. The Quick 1 controller has been on the market for 6 years now. so...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    It seems all of the manufactures have had problems. Summit has some reviews on the TCI. Not many to find elsewhere. I learned something today. The US shift unit requires the trans (94 up) to have a black Holley GM #8684216 pressure control solenoid to function properly. Earlier...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    I will do that. I am still trying to decide. I am updating my above post with more accurate dimensions in case anyone wrote any of it down.

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    What controller are you guys using? I have been on the phone with a couple of them and am still undecided. I have been reading a TON of info on this on the web. Gaaah my head is spinning. I am waiting for the GM oiler plug to show up and the transmission goes to the rebuilder. I have the...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    I am doing the exact same conversion you are Brazengoat06. I purchased a fully splined output shaft on epay. This shaft has the encoder wheel on it for the speed sensor. I need to measure the engagement needed and trim this shaft back and have it installed when the trans gets rebuilt. Now I...

    The mythical CUCV 4L80E swap

    Great write up. I have the trans, I think I found a good builder yesterday from a recommendation. And I hope to start in Feb. The few tools needed to rebuild them yourself are big bucks. It's not worth buying them to sit around afterwards. Or wondering if you did it correctly. I am running...
