Both 5th & 6th are over drives.The 6L80 does have an additional overdrive but it is situated as 5th, not 6th.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

I read that a couple times before posting.Splitting hairs on my grammar but you are correct. 5th and 6th on a 6L80 are overdrive ratios. Thank You for the correction Sir!
If you want an automatic with overdrive the 700R4 swap is easiest, and with a few upgrades is nearly impossible to destroy behind a 6.2 turbo or no turbo. Other positives are the overall length requires no driveshaft work. If you search for 700R4 on this forum you will find a ton of info. Only difficult part to find is the TV cable bracket for the diesel applications. It is a 4 speed transmission that was in millions of GM cars and pickups.I recently bought a 1986 M1009 Blazer with only 40000 on it. Mechanically sound. Just replace both alternators and going to change the gasket for rear axle gear tomorrow, last person did horrible job and leaking like a siv....lol Plus transmission pan is leaking and was recently serviced before I bought it. That being said, I want to get a transmission with an overdrive. I have a bad right shoulder and arm, disabled vet here, so manual tranny a no go. I do not want a computer of the 4l80, want to keep the green beast simple. Any way of modifying the 3l80 to a non electronic 4l80??? even possible of just a pipe dream? I have to pay someone else and do not have tons of money, I need to install AC into it also, I am an old K( guy and have a PTSD Service Dog I am making the vehicle for us to go hunting in. Going to make a ZORT K9 Unit out of the M1009.
Cmon guys, help an old K9 guy out here with some good advice. Is there a good none electronic swap our of a civilian Blazer for 82-86 I could go try and get at a junkyard and have someone rebuild for me and install that is a four or five speed???
