JohnC · 12-20-2010, 09:43 AM

flamingbig10 · 12-20-2010, 09:41 PM

well the trans won't be hear to next week

JohnC · 12-21-2010, 09:14 AM

That's a bummer deal.

flamingbig10 · 12-22-2010, 11:51 PM

yes it does but I did get a little done but I still need to get a new belt tension or

flamingbig10 · 12-23-2010, 08:39 PM

well lkq came with another trans but it was a 4l60e so I called them and they said we don't have one and will refund your money when we come and get the trans

flamingbig10 · 12-29-2010, 11:47 PM

thanks guys lkq still hasn't gave me my money back so once I get that deal straightened out I'll keep on looking because I may just go with a 4l60e and have it beefed up

Jonboy · 12-30-2010, 10:01 AM

I would hold out for a 4L80. I think a 6.0 would eat a 4L60E, even if it had some good hard parts. You will probably get out cheaper in the end, too.

flamingbig10 · 12-31-2010, 07:11 PM

well I got my money from lqk and I might be getting a 4l80 with 30,000 miles out of a 06, for 900 out the door

flamingbig10 · 01-03-2011, 01:18 AM

I was able to borrow my grand pa's jeep today at least till April when he comes back from south Texas, so I may start tearing apart the suspension from my truck to sand blast or at least use a wire wheel on a grinder and paint and install on the new frame and yes I will stay slammed, but I will use my cut spring instead of the three inch drop springs

flamingbig10 · 01-03-2011, 01:53 AM

I also pulled the throttle body and belt tensioner off and painted it silver and installed a new tb gasket

JohnC · 01-03-2011, 10:38 AM

Cool keep plugging away at it man. I think the 4l80 will be a better tranny for ya.

flamingbig10 · 01-05-2011, 12:29 AM

thanks John
well didn't get the 4l80 yet but did get the dust cover

flamingbig10 · 01-05-2011, 11:09 PM

my dad was able to get the trans today and was able to get the flywheel and spacer but my dad ran off and left the fly wheel bolts at the yard, goods news the pan was nice and clean so slapped in a new filter and bolted down the pan

spudz · 01-05-2011, 11:27 PM

everything looks great so far!

flamingbig10 · 01-06-2011, 01:51 AM

thanks

flamingbig10 · 01-07-2011, 12:22 AM

flamingbig10 · 01-09-2011, 12:59 AM

got the front suspension swapped from the new fame to my truck today and got the interior gutted out, and gas tank pulled, wile I was working on the front end my dad cut out the old patch floor pan an started cutting the floor

flamingbig10 · 01-09-2011, 08:13 PM

didn't get much done today because of this

I left the three inch drop springs in for a simple install

and for some reason the floor pans are really short where they start to angle up so it looks like have to cut some metal off the old patch panels
