gm parts guy not very good.
I asked for the 91 parts first since all of my research showed this was the first year they started using the 4l80e. The parts guy could only pull up t400 transmissions in the computer for 91 thus he insisted the 4l80e was not used unitl 92 because this was the only...
$400 you get the parts and your money back
For that price you can get all the parts, including engine tranny and axles and still get $400 at the scales. I just got $600 for the 87 burb I stripped to nothing, just the shell frame and rear axle without the doors or glass and I got $600 for it...
update on parts aquired
I am updating this thread to show the parts needed to changing my 2WD core to 4WD (4l80e transmission). Pictures include the 4x4 output housing and the shaft in addition to the gaskets I purchased at the GM dealer. These parts replace the slip yoke housing and longer...
got some doors, i was going to trash,
I may have to hang on to my spare doors now that this idea has been thrown out there.
pballer71, without the doors I would highly recomend some fender flares if you wheel it. You will get covered with crap when in the mud. This is what I hate most...
stock reman must be it.
stock reman sounds good, did not want to go used and the aftermarkets ive looked at worry me. just want a good one not trying to go high performance.
just starting the controler search really interested in what you do with yours panzerwillie.
thanks to all for...
i am staying with 6.2 and yes the 4l80e will require me to use the 6.5 converter. Unless anyone here can offer advice for me to use something different, i plan to use the high-torque torque-converter. I may go ahead and buy a used one since replacing the torque converter is something i can do...
I am having a 4l80e being built for my m1009. I had a free 2w drive core and have aquired the parts to convert to 4wd.
I can get good used Torque converter or a custom/aftermarket
My Used parts guy, that took a while to find, has two Torque converters for the tranny (these are stock gm) one...
I have been emailing our SS member from Kharkov Ukraine (sirmax123) and helping him with his m1008 rebuild.
His english is a little better than my Russian so we have been doing Ok so far.
He has a bad t4oo (has cracked core) and he is going to purchase a new one from 'mad dog transmisions'...
get them both
for the cost of the current lap top versions, or even a fleebay deal. get the laptop version first, try it a while. if you feel you need better, get the handheld. this way if one has a problem you have the other as a back up. the handheld can be thrown in the glovebox until...
usb and software
the one i had and most for what i know it is only an antenna and software. the antenna is usually USB input to the laptop. for the blue tooth to work you have to have it built into your laptop or a antenna dongle that plugs into your usb and makes the antenna on the roof...
as for myself
I will probably be buying a new pc version when i eventually install my laptop in my 1009.
so do some shopping for me and let me know how yours turns out. i still have some time before am at that stage of my build
computer gps
I had a computer gps, it was the delorme model. it was a small round puck like antenna that opperated via a USB cable. it worked fine exept that you would have to buy updates. However it also allows you to do video capture,print map sections. you can save trips easier and do a...
under dash ac
I have looked at the under dash units and they are basicly the same as the rear AC unit in a burb.
I parted out an 87. burb and have the enitre dash unit for sale (or soon to be in classifieds here) it includes everything for factory dash air,ducts to compressor and system is 134A...
is your t-case clocked
as far as it hanging down lower, have you considered the clocking ring Ord has. I have not discussed it with them and not sure how that would work with 6 inch lift due to driveshaft angles. and also if it can be used with the doubler or if it is only for single 205 tcase...
my 1009 is jealous
wow, I like it so much i am trying to build mine similar.
I just got a 1008 from gl, so I plan to use the axles from it for my 1009.
I have a 4l80e being rebuilt at this time. I think it will compensate just right for the lower gears i will have vs. your 456
planning on...
What part of Texas?
what part of texas, if it was close, i would give it an inspection and at least right you up a list so you would have a head start when you got home.
$ amount big question without good pics.
assume the title is fine, and it runs and drives I would say it is worth somewhere between $4,000 to $'how bad you want it'
matching axles in perfect shape alone are $1200 to $2000 grand depending on your local market.
check and ohm your wires
being that the sensor ads resistance when it gets hot, you may already have to much resistance due to corosion in the wires itself. Test the loop from the controler to the sensor and back to the controler. (not sure where it is but i belive this sensor comes from the...
swap batteries
if you are limited on tools, swap the front battery with the back. if it was bad and your back battery is good, then this will allow all of the 12V stuff to work fine it just wont start because the starter is 24V.
at this time go buy a new battery and replace the bad one...
people with cucv's arent allowed to cry
crying will only cause additional shorts in your electric system, LOL.
check grounds and power cables and double check your batteries. if your front battery is bad causing low voltage, it will not allow the relays to stay ingaged thus causing them to...
