LS-K · 02-09-2015, 05:49 AM

I guess I lucked out, I found a 01' 4L80e 4x4 off a Burb for $135. That included the TC also. I had to drop it myself though.

The vehicle found its way to the scrap yard due to theft. I still have not dropped the pan because I haven't made up my mind on what to do.

Should I rebuild it after that kind of mileage or just run it like that? If I rebuild it, I'd like to run some upgraded frictions and metals with a TransGo HD2 kit.

When I say "I', that means I'll be rebuilding it in my garage, oh yeah and by the way.....I've never done this before. Haha!

Hell I see it this way, I spend $135 on dumber sh!t, why not go at it myself and hopefully I learn something along the way.

Please let me know what you guys think or is my train of thought completely out of whack.

THANKS!!
