We don't have a Car Quest near me so if I want Delco parts I only have dealer (ouch) or Rockauto. Most parts come within two or three days for me.

You got pretty good life out of that one!

I think that was an issue clear back on the 700R4 which was the predecessor to the 4L60e. Not sure if it was an issue on the 4l80e

Sounds like either one would get the job done but it's an extra grand for the Matrix. I'm assuming yours is stock now with how many miles on it?

Amen!

I agree with Will about the Zero labor cost for the T-case when doing the transmission R&R. It's kind of a no-brainer unless it worked out that when they were doing the transmission, you did the transfer case if you wanted to. It's not always about the cost, just nice to get it done asap. Big...

That's one of the things he mentioned

I finally got a chance to pull the transmission out of the 98 K1500 yesterday and got it down to the rebuilder. Have had a busy couple weeks with family issues and work. Both are pretty much resolved now so I can get back at some of my projects. The rebuilder has been doing these for a long time...

I'm with you Stoney! NOBODY has the right to press their beliefs on you. You have to make your own choice based on what you think is right. Nobody wants to intentionally make someone else sick (except for our governments). I have to wear a mask at work and get tested twice a week, but I'm about...

There is usually a fair amount of resistance turning the wheels but you should be able to spin with one hand. If the truck is sitting on a smooth level surface in neutral you should be able to move the truck by yourself. Not easily but if it won't move something is dragging too much. Truck...

If you can move the starter drive out with one hand you should be able to slip the solenoid over the fork

The 4L80E is a tough transmission but has it's weak points. There's a YouTube channel called Precision Transmission and the owner (Richard) has videos on all kinds of teardowns and he points out all the common flaws in various transmissions and how to make them more bulletproof. It might give...

The starter needs to come out to replace the solenoid. What are the issues with it?

That's what my 4L80E did in my 94 K2500. It acted like it lost it's "prime" so to speak especially when cold. It failed shortly after that. Hopefully you're not heading down that road.

I wonder if it's from the brake fluid. That stuff gets nasty when it gets old

That's right and the cause is usually rust swelling the bracket on the hose. For a temporary fix you can pry the bracket opened a little and it will let the fluid flow freely. Problem could also be from a stuck caliper.

My K2500 with the 454 got about 12 mpg. My K2500 with the 6.5 got about 18mpg. Power wise I think they are about the same even though on paper the 454 is supposed to have more.

Me too but the 7 didn't seem right to me. The 10 degree I bought cut so easily if I wasn't careful could have gone too far

GM was always good about being able to swap different parts although probably not so much now as 20 years ago.

If you have them both, I'd give it a shot. I would truly be surprised if they didn't fit.
