Looks about like my redhead that ate itself taking out my hydro-boost and 2 pumps(didn't get all the metal out after the initial failure causing the spool valve to stick and blowing pump #2 apart). I replaced mine with a junkyard box I re-sealed a year ago.
Pretty much any 94+ 4l80e will work. Keep in mind most 95+ use a shift cable to shift them, so you would probably want the earlier style shift shaft for a mechanical shift linkage. For an 83 350, I would use the dual stator torque converter like was used on 91-95 4l80e's that had TBI fuel...
Your torque converter cannot lock up in 1st unless there is a SERIOUS problem inside the transmission. GM learned after the 700r4 to make it so fluid pressure is not available to the tcc circuit in 1st gear. So unless you've completely lost say your stator bushing, I just don't see how your...
The shift solenoids are all the same, but there is 3 different EPC's(pressure control solenoids). 91-93 uses a completely different EPC from 94+, 94-03 uses another, and 04+ is the same solenoid, but GM changed plugs. They sell adapters to use the 94-03 style in an 04+ trans, or you can use a...
The tires on the Burb still had decent tread left(the front ones anyways), but they were approaching 9 years old, so I decided it was time to get some new shoes as I'm starting to drive the Burb more. I still don't drive it alot and I was tired of getting stuck in wet grass with my old Cooper...
Your speedo was operated off of a 4k pulse per mile 5 volt square wave signal from your 97 black box PCM. Some trans controllers can provide a suitable output to run the speedo, but most go and get a vssb off of a 93-95 truck and install that to provide the signal for your speedo as well as the...
The gear endors unit was originally setup to shift in at 45 and out at 25 in auto mode as they were meant to be used behind 3 speed non OD autos. That is hard set into the box and not adjustable. You must have the trans controller using the speed sensor in the output of the trans so it knows the...
Once you're at those power levels it's anybodys guess with ANY of them. Cranks can and have broke just sitting idling, or they run long hard lives being beaten mercilessly day in and day out. Once you get into built engine territory, all the rules go out the window.
I've had good luck in the past with Mellings. They used to be the OEM for GM, but I heard about 5 years ago they went overseas, and there quality has dropped way off.
91-93 4l80e is slightly different from 94+ electrically, and 95-96 more changes, and then 97+ saw some more. I generally tell people to consider 91-93 to be a different trans from 94+ because of the valve body differences. If the 91 is 6 lug, it will have a 4l60/700r4 in it, if it is 8 lug it...
No, you do not need a body lift. I know my pics are gone, but I posted in my build thread here, back in 09, how I fit the Allison with a Duramax into my 95 Suburban with no body lift. I REALLY wished people would stop spreading this misinfo about needing a body lift to fit the Allison in a...
It's only going to cycle when it gets down to the pressure your switch cuts off at. You can find the r134 pressure to temperature chart, find your switches cutoff pressure, and that is the temp of the low side at the pressure switch that it will cutoff at if the system is charged properly. Most...
This setup has been used for DECADES. Problem is he screwed up on the pipe into the exhaust. It needs to be in a straight section of pipe and the suction tube needs to be at a 45 to the pipe. The fitting at the pipe is a 70's era smog check valve used for an AIR injection system. The idea is to...
Cutting that sensor is putting you in to engine protection mode, so it is not fueling as much, that is why your rail pressure is now holding. Has the ECM been updated? There was many problems with early OS's setting rail pressure and boost codes for no reason. Otherwise you need to have a return...
I did some reading 9n this a few years back. To my knowledge there is no .xdf available for the TCM's to be able to program one. You're also up against trying to find a reader and burner as most all the companies that sold them have run out pf stock after the chip shortage, and decided it's not...
You have to trim the fins off of the GM orifice tube as it sounds like you got the condenser mount style, there is an evap mount style as well that doesn't have the fins on the back. Most use the Ford orifice tubes for the evap mount. 41 degrees sounds about right for a 28 psi cutoff. Most r134...
The only difference to my knowledge is the pressure control solenoid changed in 04 due to a supplier change, but both styles interchange with each other.
Use the 6.5l radiator, it's the same size core as a lb7/lly radiator. FYI, many of those aluminum radiators are well known to suffer corrosion issues after just a few years. Many shops have stopped selling the mishimotos because of it.
