2015 Silverado Transmission swap

While Roadtriping to Ducttape Drags I trashed the stock 6l80 transmission and Trashed the loaner trailer.

Good to have you making more videos Lucky. Hope you're back to normal now.

[@HotRod-wv4vm]

Hi Lucky glad to see you up and about 👏

[@luisgonzalez9772]

Glad you ditched the stock cooler lines. They have a thermostat at the block that bolts the cooler lines to the trans. Makes for the higher trans temps....

[@MacsSpecialitiesMotorsports]

Never fun working on the vehicles we have too. But cool installing upgraded parts to beef up the tow rig! Nice work Lucky 🍀

[@concernedcitizen1320]

That Omar guy looks like a hard worker! How was lunch 😂 I love the great sense of humor!

Lucky busting out the Freiburger flip flops, looking mint Lucky, Hope the Covid leaves you alone soon.

[@Dave_Boyer]

Good to see you back in the shop!

[@Bumblebee4788]

Thanks to Omar, digging those HiTop sneakers too!

[@seantylerwray]

My 2016 Silverado runs around 194 trans temp on the highway with 35s.ive had the truck over 2 years and it's always been like that.even when I pulled a trailer a few times it never got over 198.not sure if it's normal on these trucks but the converter seems to lock in 3rd gear when the trans temp gets 68 degrees or higher.

[@davidparizek6741]

Lucky thanks for the Tech Tips 👍 Nice to have You Back 😊

[@darrylvohs5526]

Nice that you have friends to help out. When are you getting more t-shirts made? Put me down for an x-large Lucky's Garage shirt, please.

[@robertedwards6438]

Great video as always! Looking forward to some hot rod garage with the chevhell in it!!!

[@daviddavis9720]

Duct tape drags was great and glad you made it there. I loved the Ram you used to pull the C10 there and back!

[@atvseatexchange2176]

Firm but not hard, not popular with the girls on the East Coast but to each his own. Glad you're doing better.

[@hedrives]

Great to see content from you Lucky. Hope you are feeling better soon, brother.

[@tedbownas2748]

"Superior packaging job"...hell, that's like $200 in lumber, lately. 😳🤦😂

[@TravisHargiss]

I was honestly surprised that you were at Duct Tape considering you had been in the hospital but it was fun watching you rip the C10

[@tertessa]

Nice to see you smiling...

[@joshmartin7558]

Im so annoyed with my silverado right now lol I wish I could casually toss a transmission in like you guys

[@J2A61]

I swapped my third gen with everything out of your truck, after I re route my fuel lines it’s time for a test drive

[@rainydaysroofer9474]

I have a 09 1500 2wd. With 170thousand. Ive been worried about the transmission lately hoping I don’t have any problems. Only problem I have had is a collapsed lifter on cylinder 5 wich caused a misfire but only happens when I’m at idle when the oil pressure is low.

[@Ibrahas]

Great vid man and the shifts sounded solid.

[@vanstechcorral]

I've got a spin on filter in front of the cooler.

[@awh3399]

Good quick project! Keep going Lucky

[@davehanson1417]

Bwahahahaha! "Spirited driving!" Is there any other kind of?

[@JamesPalylyk]

Put your goddamned seatbelt on.

[@PNW_Car_Mods]

Hope you get back to 100% sooner than later Lucky!

[@21jimmyo]

On some planets, a 7-year-old truck isn't a "late-model".

[@josh9847]

Looking well Lucky 👍 back on the tools 🛠

[@dshawnieeful]

You're not in maryland are ya. I actually need a new transmission in my 2015 silverado.

[@keetonchannel847]

Man I have a 2018 that is shifting smooth but it jumped from 6 gear down to 4 gear and made me home. But it just squeals now when o started it this morning isn’t making sense at all. I called to have a transmission torque converter checked but they are saying that I need to replace the transmission it can cost me 4,800$ or 6,000$ dollars I just turned over 110,000 miles. Shame that this happened.

[@kevintaylor9249]

Good video. Hey Lucky, what's the chances of you getting me a Gearstar trans for my '14 Sierra 1500? 😜

[@towzone100]

Great video

[@kashbrown4649]

Just curious, did yours have tow-haul mode and it smoked it pulling in just 3rd gear?

[@CaptainNero]

Living in the Northeast, I wish my vehicles look like that, I need to move South again or west..

[@davegardiner3097]

Frieberger flip flops FTW

[@mikedmt]

When that box came off, I thought they sent you the wrong tranny... Then I remembered that you live in SoCal... I'll be jealous in a few more weeks when it starts snowing here

[@baronoflivonia.3512]

My 2005 Express 2500 just killed trans, but I am on a low budget, so no Gear Star for me.

[@ryanknapp4964]

I have the same truck, same color. I’d love to swap it for that Tremic TR4050

[@gcrauwels941]

That's usually what takes these 6L80s out. The converters on these trucks are marginal.

[@unclesquirrel6951]

Personally I blame squirrels

[@nickpappas4133]

My cat 🐱 will take care of those squirrels.

[@BlindBatG34]

Did you change your name, John?

[@wammyz]

Squirrels are runty little gangsters, so it's possible.

[@sindelm7437]

Is it really just R&R? I've never replaced a transmission on a "newer" vehicle. I've only done it on my 90 and 97 240sx. One was an auto to 5 speed swap. Fingers crossed, I don't have any issues with my transmission yet, but I just want to be prepared. I NEED a tuner, correct? So this isn't something I can do myself?

[@adrianv8225]

Did you have to get a new tcm or reprogram the old one after your swap? I'm about to attempt a rebuild on my 2015 I don't understand why I'd need to do that if I'm putting the same trans In with new guts

[@carlosocon9378]

I'm going to attempt to rebuild my 6l80 as well did youhave to reprogram?

[@adrianv8225]

@@carlosocon9378 you can re use your old tcm,I drove to the nearest Transmission shop after the rebuild and they reprogrammed it in less than 10 minutes

[@carlosocon9378]

@@adrianv8225 thanks for the reply bro!

[@thomasshaffer8547]

What did I miss? I thought 6L80's were three quarter ton transmissions. It appears your silverado is a half ton. upgraded sometime?

[@tonykemper8896]

I like your video ………. Lucky told me to say that!

[@cuzcraven6847]

Love gearstar

[@kwdement]

take it easy and feel better Lucky

[@Whopoopedinmypants]

Afm system is super hard on torque converts

[@scottr9900]

Glad to hear you are making some progress with the ‘rona.

[@dirtmcgirt8240]

I am currently dealing with this on a 2016. What trans/tc did you purchase? I am hesitant to go back with the same problematic parts.

[@coreypruka5501]

Fra-gee-lay? The transmission must be Italian.

[@jimthomas777]

He stole it with his Red Ryder BB gun

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Good times !

[@samuelcookphippen]

Awesomeness

[@user-tl2pd6oh3q]

Link to the gear star for buying? Please and thank you

[@partypoison11234]

Question, can I replace my 2015 Silverado 5.3 L V8 with a 2016 4.3 L V6 transmission?

[@dhackens]

Tech Tip ! Thanks :)

[@One.shot1]

can i put a better torque converter in it?

[@haroldwoods861]

did you add an external filter for the transmission while you had it all apart?

[@gasratzcustoms]

Yeah we added a new one from Derale. Keeping it cool!

[@haroldwoods861]

@@gasratzcustoms a trans cooler? Not an external filter?

[@JohnSmith-fm6wx]

How much was that and did it come with the converter

[@dosman01302]

Not your fault buddy, those chevy trans are junk! The engines are junk! Maybe a good rear end. That's about it

[@chevyfan82]

👍

[@dhackens]

Lucky , Teck Tip , put your seat belt on and buzzer will go off ! :0) ok

[@brianskrypec235]

seatbelt lucky. Seatbelt!

[@adamhall2003]

Sure would have been cool if you showed how to… ya know… swap it out

[@johndiestelow3944]

LS swap?

[@kike83._.]

How do i get sponsor for a gear star tranny for my truck! My tranny is not doing that well lol!

[@nickpappas4133]

I guess without the seatbelt the airbag would make a great mask.

[@shanewright6958]

👍👍🇨🇱

[@oakridgestars]

Seatbelts save lives.

[@paulsmith9341]

The other day we were on I80 in Indiana and we passed a ramp going about 80mph. We had to do evasive maneuvers to avoid the truck- trailer pulling over in the center!

[@jimthomas777]

No more newer stuff , Back to the 66 Chevelle and 67 Chevy C-10
