Well, here I am on the last day of leave before I go back to work. I kindof wonder how I'm going to get there, because I completely lost second gear in the 4l60e yesterday. Talk about a letdown! It's been perfect up until yesterday. Oh well.. Stuff happens from time to time. It'll get fixed.

What tranny is in your burb?

landon4421 · 10-30-2003, 04:13 PM

700R or something like that ?

68 Suburban · 10-30-2003, 04:17 PM

That sucks. It seems like a lot of people are having problems with this trans in our trucks

I know their are great possitives to having a 700r4 (4l60e), but Im not sure if it is worth it because of the lack of dependablity of these trans. Im sure there are a lot of people that have had no problems, but it seems like a majority of the trans problems on this board are do to this trans. Maybe are trucks are just to heavy for this trans?

I hope you guys can get back on the road at minimal cost

landon4421 · 10-30-2003, 04:22 PM

ya the 700r4 that is it. :p Jenna's 71 has the stock auto tranny and it was rebuilt sometime before we got the truck and it is still running strong !

I just need to go through the burb more still get all the bugs out !

Then we will be fine !

I have the original 400 trans in my truck. I had it rebuilt a couple of years ago not because of drivability problems, but the seals had harden and the trans had some leaks.

I would love to have a 700r4 for the highway, but since I do a lot of driving across country, I have always been afraid that I would get stranded some where.

I guess I can give up a little MPG for peace of mind

Hey man, sorry to hear about your tranny. How far along are you in the old nuclear pipeline? Hope everything works out for ya.

70cst10 · 10-31-2003, 09:45 AM

I think it'll all work out. I should be driving it again in about 2 weeks. I graduated Power School 2 weeks ago, and I start prototype Monday.
