Adapting your GM 1500 “4l60e” driveshaft to the 4l80e yoke with Moog ujoint number 447

Thanks for the info I was wondering about this conversion. Just ordered one myself.

Thank you👌🏿 alot of good info

I got one from dennys driveshaft...went from 4l60 to 80

Thanks for the video, very helpful. What did you do about your dipstick?

[@JMSAUTO]

Baylen Lee used the stock dipstick just had to bend it a bit to clear the firewall

[@GreatestHITS26]

I’m swapping my 4l60e to a built 4l80e on my F body firebird trans am. What driveshaft should i use? since the 80e is longer then the 60e

[@egghead1093]

Do you know what the transmission came out of so we can identify the yoke? I have an 01 extended cam 2wd and looking to get the 80. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Much appreciated.

Got a "700R4" driveshaft from a 90' c1500 trying to put a 4l80e yoke on it. would this part fit? or how do i go about finding the right U-Joint for my application

[@josevenegas2319]

Ok, I got the part number for the u joint (thanks)... but can u give the whole layout as far as all upgrades and changes to run a 4l80e behind a 5.3 engine? I got a 2002 Silverado single cab shortbed. I have the 4l80 already but haven't installed it, I bought a stock used driveshaft as well but don't know what yoke to get, my original driveshaft,yoke broke off along with all the back end of my old 4l60 tranny I had in it... so I went ahead and bought a used stock 4l80 and a drive shaft...BUT.... I now realize I need a different flex wheel, fluid lines change, wiring harness changes, yoke changes, .... I'm guessing crossmember too... sooo, I need all specs and part #s if u can, total life saver! And need some reassurance that I CAN use the stock length driveshaft I already bought... help please

[@JMSAUTO]

I have a circle d direct bolt converter with stock 5.3 flex plate. Stock 4l80e yoke adapted with above ujoint. I cut the stock cross member, moved center section back to 4l80e mounting stud and welded it up. Only thing else required is a a 4l60/65e to 4l80e adapter harness from pcm of nc. My truck is an extended cab with 2 piece driveshaft and carrier bearing. I think speed engineering makes and swap crossmember if you don’t want to mess with making one.

[@josevenegas2319]

@@JMSAUTO what about the fluid lines? Did ur old ones work by rebending them or something? Or did u have to buy new fluid lines to fit and reach?

[@JMSAUTO]

@@josevenegas2319 stock ones worked just took some massaging

[@josevenegas2319]

@@JMSAUTO thanks... I will be buying a stock 6.0 flexplate since the 4l80 has a stock torque converter... try working the lines to plug into the 4l80's inserts....I will be buying a prefabricated crossmember....that just leaves the yoke and the wiring.... I'm guessing the stock 4l80 yoke should do....? Still unsure if driveshaft will sit right.

[@juanclarissmajalca1277]

Do you have a part number for the yoke? I have one from a 2001 4l80e truck and I can't find a u-joint to fit my factory 2 piece shaft

[@rubenvillalobos15]

Did you find the part number?

[@ivanbarajas5471]

The slip yoke I have that came with the 4l80e has about 1/2 inch gap. It won't set on the lock.

[@cristianjantes7453]

Did you figure it out I’m having the same problem

I have a 2004 single cab, and I’m preparing to do the same swap. I have a one piece driveshaft, do you think this setup will work for me?

[@JMSAUTO]

Whip_Doctor yes it should be the same. The only difference is that I have a carrier bearing on my driveshaft so it allows for a bit of play. Once you get the new ujoint and 4l80e yoke mated to your driveshaft put it in the trans and make sure it slides back out atleast .250 to .375 inch towards the rear differential.

[@memphis901vet2]

Justin Silverado524 i ordered a stock 80e yoke, but it looks nothing like yours. Do you have a part#

[@JMSAUTO]

I do not it came with the trans when I bought it

[@frankdatank7751]

Good documentation!!! What truck is that going on, and is it extending cab? Also what the part number or nake of toke you used, Thanks

Frank da Tank it’s in a 2005 Silverado 1500 ext cab

[@frankdatank7751]

Thanks, I bought it and put it on the yoke ,but it did not work on the 97 c1500 side. Its a 1 1/8 and the older model takes a 1 1/16 cap, no biggie Ima figure it lol

[@843slick]

What about the back end u joint

Stock

[@joe2guns]

Is this pretty much the same idea for a ls1 car with 4l60 changing to 4l80 swap i couls use this same one or woukd i need a diffre t one

[@JMSAUTO]

I can’t speak truth on that never done it but if I had to make an educated guess I’d say yes

[@joe2guns]

@@JMSAUTO sweet yea ill look into thanks alot

[@javierespinoza6551]

From where to where are you measuring the yoke?

[@JMSAUTO]

Javier Espinoza on an extended cab driveshaft after it is mounted and inserted into the trans.. from the end of the yoke to the first ujoint. Been driving it like that for a few months now without any issues ?

[@anthonydoud]

Will this work for the pinion yoke I have a 4l60e drive shaft and I just bought a rear end with 373 gears from a z71 but it has the tabs on the inside of the pinion yoke with the bugger u joint

[@JMSAUTO]

Not sure I used all my stock size stuff there

[@anthonydoud]

Thanks man I’ll give it a shot!

[@rekburtbudgetbuilds]

So i wonder if this will work for a 4l80 driveshaft i want to use a 4l60 yoke with??

[@JMSAUTO]

Yes it should

[@alexsperanza1501]

Hey, Did you ever end up modifying the yoke as you said? or did the th400 yoke fit perfectly fine

[@JMSAUTO]

Alex Speranza I used the stock 4l80e yoke with the adapter ujoint and didn’t have to cut it down at all. I have an extended cab so it’s the 2 piece drive shaft with the carrier bearing

[@salbuildz441]

This is going to sound odd , I bought the same u joint as in this video , the two ends that go to 80e yoke and way to small

[@JMSAUTO]

Salvador Balandran that is odd. My trans was a 2004 I believe with the driveshaft from my 2005 Silverado mating up using this I joint with no issues.

The stock ujoint won’t work in the 4l80 yoke

I plan to on doing to swap this weekend. I also have the extended cab but I have a 6 in flip kit. Do you think the stock drive shaft will still work??

With this you don’t have to get the driveshaft cut anymore correct?

Bryan J in an extended cab truck that is correct. No cutting was needed

By using this particular yoke, does this bypass the process of having to shorten the driveshaft
