4l80 6.5 flywheel cover and torque rods.

[corelokt]

Anybody know what I need to fit my application?
I just heard about the torque rods.
4l80e behind a 6.5, running a np205.

Giving this a bump. I can't find the parts despite a lot of searching. Is it ok to tow heavy without them? Am I going to crack the bellhousing?

That would be the factory setup on a '91 Crew Cab. Of course, only about 1,500 of those were made.
If you can't find the rods, making your own should be easy enough.

FWIW this information is from another site;

"The 6 bolt one is for 4wd transmissions and the 4 bolt is for 2wd. The 4 bolt lacks the bosses for the support rods the 6 bolt cover has."

The GM part number for the 6 bolt cover is 15671930

 

[corelokt]

I keep hoping to find one of the 6 bolt hole covers. I hate thinking all the money spent on the transmission is waiting to wasted because of a cracked case.

If you can't locate one, consider making one - or having one made - from a common 4-bolt version.
It's only a matter of some welding and minor machining.

Highy unlikely you will crack it unless you are doing dukes of hazard jumps. gmwholesale partsoneline.com has them. Just look for a Late 90's k2500 with a 6.5 diesel. You will need the plates behind the motor mounts along with the two rods. There is a parts diagram so you can see what you need.

I believe the cover for a cucv turbo 400 is the same.

 

[corelokt]

I've been told t400 and 4l80 are different. The parts long discontinued, I'm stuck finding used.

 

[The FLU farm]

Darn it, now you've made me wonder if I have one for my 4L80E. I think I've seen it in a box somewhere, but...

 

[gimpyrobb]

My 98 1500 gasser 4x4 had that plate and the rods. I don't think your search is broad enough.

 

[corelokt]

I'm just going by what I was told. 4x4 4l80e from behind a 6.5 diesel for the cover and rod parts. The t400 cover does not fit and I need the plates that goes behind the motor mounts.

 

[The FLU farm]

Not that I've looked into the correct parts, or interchangeability, but it seems to me that it shouldn't matter what engine is in front of the transmission.
A 4L80E cover for a 4WD application would likely fit regardless of what engine is in front of the trans, or what transfer case is behind it.

And I'm getting the impression that you will not entertain the idea of making any of these parts, not even simple rods or plates, right?

 

[corelokt]

I'm going to be paying to have the rods installed. However many parts I can get is money saved.

Oh, I didn't know that this was a leased vehicle. (Sorry, couldn't resist).

Try GM PN 15529883 I Just got these through wholesale gm parts online. They shipped from Bob Hook Chevrolet. I was wrong about the flywheel cover. I have both and I compared the two. The bolt holes are in a different location. I just bought these this spring. Even though a PN might show to be discontinued they can sometimes find it still at a dealer's shelf. I will look for the invoice and get the part numbers for the plates behind the motor mounts.

This is for the drivers side plate that goes between the motor mount and the block.

Yes, your funny... Looking, smelling, a bit odd, the whole funny farm
Sorry, I couldn't resist either.
If I had a shop with a cement floor, some sort of roof, a lift, or something other than mud and grass, I would do it.

 

[corelokt]

I don't think the gmparts website likes Android. It kinda works, then doesn't.
I'm not adverse to buying new. The cover and brackets would-be great. Mounting hardware too, even better.

I have a 4l80-E cover if your interested PM me
