For some reason I wasn't to chatty in this video 🤷â€â™‚Must be after replacing your 569th GM truck transmission you just don't have a lot to say. I think the next one I may talk more ðŸ˜

Great video. Wish it had some narration when working. That would help it immensely! Would be A+
My 4L60E has been nothing but a beast! 300K miles.
You've done that just a few times lol !
So I'm still confused on the marking the driveshafts ain't they balanced separately? And my question is what if I have to replace a drive shaft how would I know it's going on correctly if it's a different shaft
I got 220k miles on my 2007 Chevy suburban 4×4 with 4l60e. I’m going to have it rebuilt with upgrades. I tow a 4 horse trailer… lol. I think I pushed it 1 too many times!!!
If you remember, how long did it take to get it done?
When you said it's weird not working on a rotted out truck I had just been thinking how a cleanin underside makes for a great teaching tool but is completely unlike the ones you find out on the road
Several 4l60s 300k miles plus no issues. Keep fresh fluid in them and also add hot shots shift restore in fluid cleans everything out. Now we don’t do allot of towing with them but my wife used to pull her horses around with the 03 Yukon. 220k miles still shifts flawless no signs of failure. Like anything else take care of it and chances of problems are far less
Hello, love your videos!! Thank you for them. My question is this, I just had my 4L60 replaced. When driving home I noticed that my airbag light was on. Can you tell me if there’s a airbag harness o some wire somewhere on top or near the trans that may have been disconnected ??
Goodness 8:04 sounded like gunfire 😂
Love video very helpful Can I use a 4×4 trans in my 2012 savana it's all wheel drive
Thank you ðŸ‘
Just what I wanted to know, way too much work, that’s horrible
How clean out a torque converter that has turned Pepto-Bismol pink
Until you snap the sun dial and get all neutrals
I've got a 2011gmc sierra 1500 4.8. The swaybar is in the way of removing the exhaust. What a pain.
I loved the part where you explained what you were doing…..
People that do this professionally, such as yourself, are amazing. Great video to follow along. No bs, just here's how you get it done. Thank you.
My motor is seized on my 99 blazer. Will the tranny slide off without removing Torque converter? I can't spin my motor to get at the bolts attaching the flywheel to the torque convertor.
I'm doing this real soon, how many connections on the transfer case need to be disconnected?
I just pulled out the EXACT same transmission from a GM pickup —– The only difference I can see is that the one I'm working on is a RUSTY PIECE OF JUNK. Truck only has 55 thousand kilometers on it, but i think most of this 2009 trucks life has been parked in a salt pit.
This guy is the most smooth thorough mechanic I've ever seen
I wish my lift hauled ass like the one you have! Damn…
Mine just went in my 2008 Suburban 1500 with 267,600 miles. Thank you for all the miles! Time for a rebuild.
Chatty drives me crazy. I disconnect if I have to listen to somebody trying fill the video with verbal noise. Im hoping my two drive will have a lot less to disconnect but i seen what needs removed and is no mystery on how its connected. Thanks for the great easy to watch video.
I have a 07 gmc Sierra 1500 without a transmission and a transmission from a 2010 chevy silverado. My question is will the transmission fit the Sierra??
It’s all about the tools and the right equipment. You can easily forget how heavy this stuff is. The mastery of all the tools needed in hand and the right size is a work of art. Well done making it look easy. Sign of a professional!
I didn't know you could let the trans & case hang so confidently on the engine mounts like that!! I just installed a Np241 & nv4500 for the first time and was wondering how tf I'm going to get them back out one day
That fluid was toast.
Will I have to refill the transfer case?
I use to love R&R transmissions
What is the biggest reason for A/T fails? In your opinion
Sure looked good under there for a 2007.
That's gotta be one of the cleanest GMT800's I've seen in awhile!
aaahh that was 'shift' cable lol…yeah we know better, just a lil humor!! work it!!
