Hp tuners has wiped most of their repository as epa is cracking down on emissions removals so ONLY stock files now exist here

[@user-pk6we2gn6s]

That makes sense since I’ll look for my file and I look at KZbin videos right away ppl find files and I just so confused your statement now makes sense!

[@theezeelife292]

Thank you for this series and the meticulous detail you went to providing part numbers etc. I'll be doing this swap on an Avalanche and this series will be my go to for info.

[@GarageHours]

Steve, Thank you for taking the time to create this series!. I'm also in the process of putting a turbo in my Avalanche which is what brought me here :) Best of luck on your turbo install! Lots to learn as I'm finding out.

[@TahoeSteve]

thanks so much. turbo definitely has me intimidated. gonna do it in 2021 though.

[@punxnotdead185]

Your videos have been a pretty big help with my 4L80 swap in my 04 Escalade ESV, turns out the couple things I was overthinking like the crossmember and the segment swap are actually way easier than I was thinking they would be, hopefully I'll have it on the road this weekend.

[@lukegleason7156]

This series was great! Haven't done the swap yet myself but this has definitely given me motivation to upgrade my busted 4l60 instead of just throwing in another one.

[@richardcoleman9645]

Glad to see I'm not the only one that is nervous about using HP tuners to load a tune. Lol. But it is mostly guys my age.

[@easyjerryl69]

Thanks for all the links and videos ! Very helpful !

[@dtsmw]

That was a great video!, very informative, I like the way you went through the software step by step. Thank You.

Great video! Can't wait to get that RAM running!

[@djjedgar]

very helpful video man gives me more confidence too do it on mine now thanks for all the info looking forward for more of your turbo build thanks man!

[@TahoeSteve]

Thanks for the kind words. Glad it was helpful.

[@halfcockedFame]

Hey Steve. I have been watching these videos since you put them up. Just over and over. I always wanted to do the swap and even though I wasn’t ready I wanted to be educated. Well man I’m here. 4l80e with a 261hd. HP Tuners on deck. Waiting for a few small things and I’ll be swapped. Didn’t have to go 261hd, it was with trans when I bought it. It’s not hard to run it, it’s just more parts which is more money. But that’s besides the point. Thank you Steve for your videos. There’s a lot of videos out there you just put off the correct vibe when you talk. Everything you’ve done has been 100% correct that I’ve done so far. Thanks for taking time to make video and to show everything. This is a great video. I have sent it to many people on the LS swap pages on FB.

[@TahoeSteve]

Much much appreciated! It's comments like this that keep me motivated to keep making videos. Now i just gotta find the time. Thanks!

[@afmoa]

Great job on documenting the process. Looking at picking up a crew cab Silverado with a bad transmission cheap and doing this swap.

[@IEraiderfan]

Steve, congratulations you did it your hard work payed of. This was a great video series a wealth of information I am looking forward to your next video s thank you.👍👍👍👍

[@TahoeSteve]

Thanks Lou. I appreciate all the positive feedback you give on my videos.

[@jcheeech]

Steve, excellent video!! What would you say your total cost is with the tuning aspect using HP Tuners hardware and Software plus credits?

[@mikealdag7309]

nice job , good video thank you

[@icdproductions]

This gives me a lot more confidence in swapping my Wrangler's motor in the future.

[@eligiomeraz0683]

Good videos bro i have wach them, i have a question did you have to buy de hptuners program to put it into the truck computer? I have an 01 gmc Sierra 5.3 4x4 and i did the same transmisión swap but i don't know how to get the hptuners, can u help me a litle with that cause i live in México and not so many people knows what to do about this kind of swaps at the mecanical shops.

[@iverson954360]

Maybe look into doing a trans relearn procedure to avoid any issues copied over from the flash? Not sure if the learned info from that other ECM file carries over to your ECM.

[@TahoeSteve]

Excellent point, and I did do it. May have forgotten to put it in one of the videos.

[@lestatybarbo6545]

planning on doing this swap on my escalade, were you able to keep (if you have them) cruise control,traction on/off control and tow mode control with the segment swap?

[@jakehaskins8850]

Great video! I like your approach to the transmission crossmember, and it appears you still had room to pull the pan. How much space do you have between the transfer case drain and refill plugs and the torsion bar crossmember? To me, it looks like there's enough room to service the transfer case.

[@TahoeSteve]

there is but it's a bit of a pain in the ass.

[@nitrozack3062]

Hey I got a 2001 GMC Yukon XL 2500 with a 6.0 and 4l80 and a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with a 5.3 and 4l60!.. You think it would be easier to do the swap with the actual truck? Seems like it to me and I’m thinking I’m going to do it because the 2001 frame is gone.. let me know what ya think thanks!

[@dezford5408]

Great series, Thank you. Any chance on a total cost break down?

[@TahoeSteve]

$2300 trans $800 Circle D 3000-3200 Torque Converter with Billet, $100+ for the wire harness, $100+ for the flexplate $100+ for the front drive shaft $100 to have rear drive shaft shortened $50 trans cooler lines Crossmember - Free (but I already owned a welder) I already had HP Tuners to do the swap, but this needs to be considered in your budget to either buy it, or have someone do the segment swap for you. $100+ ??? NSS, Transfercase adapter, bolts, gaskets, dipstick tube And don't forget how expensive all that ATF is.

[@rotsbelramos7685]

Hi sir So i did the segment swap but I didn't do the tune so duebto that my lock 🔒 up final drive gear ⚙️ wont go low stays real high do i need to to the tune so it can lock 🔒 up and rpm go dowm pls 🙏 lmk in the comment section

[@markallison8820]

Great videos !! thanks, I wanna do the same thing, looking forward to it too !! :-) Cheers !

[@hitmanshadowrecon9017]

I did the 4l80e swap on my 2000 suburban. Everything seems to be working fine except my truck is very slow coming from a complete stop. Do you think my e brake might be engaged somehow? Or could it be I never got an actual tune?

[@gavinwalshak8358]

Hey steve do u know if I need the advanced hp tuner or can I use the mvpi2

[@PlaneButcher]

Sorry if this sounds stupid but i have emissions tests where i live. If I only did a trans swap and stock engine, would i still be able to pass emissions or will i fail?

[@joejoesmojo32]

How does a brand new transmission from transdepot leak when it's never been used?

[@abrahamdesir204]

need help i have a L31 pcm 4L80e complete on a 4L60e tanny but stuck in limp mode what do i have to do to make it work also have hp tuners do i change it in the tune or do i rewire harness?

[@hunterbradley5692]

How big of a difference does it feel like comparing to the 60

[@torchthe4v]

what hp tuner do you have or does it matter which one you get?

[@kkochen89]

hey steve im doing this swap in a 06 yukon denali. what is your wheelbase to compare driveline lengths

[@TurboTA89]

Do you use credits for both files?

[@MadMotorsPerformance]

Thanks you saved me 250!!!

[@TahoeSteve]

Glad to help

[@jayglenn8142]

You would not believe how many times I've watched your 4L80e swap videos! I'm almost done swapping a 4l80e into my Hummer H2. I've already done the segment swap, but I keep getting an 1860 code (TCC). I'm not sure if it's a wiring issue, a defective part or an HPTuners issue. The tune was from a matched OS. The transmission was rebuilt, but it still has the original solenoids. Rebuilder said everything tested good. Any ideas? Thanks for unbelievably informative videos!

[@TahoeSteve]

I am so glad to be of help overall, but I don't know the answer to your specific question. Check this guy out, he is awesome at HP tuners and he is great about answering questions: kzbin.info/door/P_LcnBKwJqJOiGoCRT5SCw

[@tuloko16]

Double check with your transmission rebuilder. It is common practice to get rid of the pwm selenoind for the tcc (what the computer expects) and put an tcc on/tcc off. If it has the tcc on/off selenoid, turn the code off with hp tuners ir similar tuner.

[@matermark]

Did anybody come here hoping to do this swap in the GMT360 Trailblazer/Envoy trucks? I just had a trans line leak take out my 4l60e in my only vehicle and can't decide what to do... I just bought this vehicle from out of state and didn't put 300 miles on it yet, so a different vehicle is not an option--it's an Envoy XUV 4WD w/77K miles and I had to borrow money from 3 people to pay for it! Anybody think this can be done at a reasonable cost on it? Also, where did you route the trans lines? Did you eliminate the radiator trans cooler or still use it?

[@spyderlyf3]

I really need to get my Tahoe retuned with HP Tuners from EFI live. I have a 6.0/4l80 swap and the segment swap has some flaws like no holding OD with 0% throttle input..sucks....really want to see how yours drives afterwards..sounds like you had a blackbear tune like me;-)

[@TahoeSteve]

Yeah. BB. Send an email, hear back with a cryptic message 7 days later. Respond immediately. Wait for response 7 days later. Repeat......

[@CJGeibe]

Hey man nice videos, are youu still happy with the 4l80? I have a 04 burban im planning on this swap, along with a 14 bolt from a 07 Escalade swap....then a turbo

[@TahoeSteve]

Absolutely yes, totally worth the effort! Thanks for watching!

[@fordrangermods9642]

why does the OS number have to match?

[@jmc7991]

I was curious if you knew if you don’t do the tune what happens? Does it just not let the transmission & speedometer work at all? Im finishing up a ls swap with a 4l60e computer that was supposed to be tuned but I’m not sure they did the transmission. Thanks

[@TahoeSteve]

I never considered not doing the tune so I don't know for sure, but I can't imagine anything good coming out of it seeing as how the transmissions are so different. Perhaps someone might chime in here.....

[@FerasDishli]

Great info, thanks for sharing. Please question: in my 2018 Camaro SS A8 8L90 transmission. Question is: in port throttle shifting points in 100% throttle is not match full throttle points or WOT shifting In all patterns (Normal, pattern A and pattern B). I’m speaking about the stock file i did read from the car. I can’t find explaining for that. Thank you

[@TahoeSteve]

Honestly, I just found a tune and used it. I am not knowledgeable enough in HPTuners to answer your question correctly. Perhaps someone will chime in.

[@FerasDishli]

Tahoe Steve Thanks, hope someone gives thought. Nice video, i did learn much things.

[@kalebdelong3781]

I know I could get a rough estimate if I pieced it all together, but what would you say this ran you as far as a total price? I have a turboed 2001 suburban and have been debating between built 4l60 and a stock/eventually building a 4l80

[@markallison8820]

The 4L80 MUCH stronger !!! Go for it !!

[@fishing_with_chaz]

would running a 6.0 with 3.73 rear gear and a 4l80e get you a 6 speed and get better mpg? i've current;y got a 4l60E in the truck

[@TahoeSteve]

I don't know as I cant replicate the scenario to test it. Maybe someone will chime in.

[@josezamudio6097]

Hey do you need any credits to do this segment swap and if you do what type of credits

[@TahoeSteve]

Great questions and the answer is i am not sure. I had to purchase credits for my vehicle so it was not an issue when I went to do my swap. Perhaps someone will chime in.

[@jay6speed842]

funny thing i have the same OS you have and having trouble finding it. by anychance you have the link or maybe able to email me the tune file that you found. thanks

[@TahoeSteve]

I looked for you. The laptop I used is long gone and I could not find the exact file.

[@yahmings23]

Steve...any advice on how to get my 02 sensor to work properly,I keep getting a code read of p0157. I just took off my cats and am running straight pipes with shorty headers. My vehicle is a 2002 chevy Tahoe 4wd 5.3. I tried non foulers..and bought new 02 sensor bank 2 sensor 2(downsteam.

[@TahoeSteve]

When I put on my long tube headers (without cats) I got a professional tune, and they "deleted" the rear 02 sensors.

[@yahmings23]

@@TahoeSteve ok..I may have to take that same route. did you notice any difference in mileage(per gallons)when you did the tune? ....and thank you for the reply!👍🏾

[@TahoeSteve]

Not sure. The less I know about my MPG, the better.

[@yahmings23]

@@TahoeSteve 🤣🤣🤣..I just swapped out my alternator..thinking that the low voltage that the 02 sensor is reading,would be the solution...its not. I'm going to have to figure this out. I can definitely tell a difference in performance when the service light is on.

[@spyderlyf3]

@@yahmings23 rear O2 sensors only monitor cat condition..front 2 are the ones that monitor air/fuel ratios.. tuned you can eliminate the 2 rear sensors if running long tubes. Fuel mileage changes depends on how much your into the happy pedal..
