Hey bro I was looking your video when you installed those long pipe headers, and I saw your headliner, I have a single cab covered on Grey suede, I would like to send it yo you, it would look good on the truck., where are you located? ??

What would u recommend I do to a 5.3 Silverado with a stage one cam ( I just bought it on thanksgiving )

[@ErikRose_]

longtube headers forsure bro 🔥

[@luisvelazquez1968]

Nice 👍 Quick question. What would be a fun street combo for a a bit heavier extended cab truck. Say, cam, tq converter and rear end gears for an N/A 5.3/4l80 combo

You ever gonna relocate the shifter to the floor? I wanna do it to my 4l60e but literally have no idea what to do other than get the shift kit i want

[@ErikRose_]

I actually do plan on doing this at some point bro! 👌

[@thesetruths1404]

Nice video. Would you do anything differently if you did it again? I have a 05 4x4 Yukon 5.3L. 233,000 miles. Looking to get a used cheap broken 4L60/65/70 to rebuild with my teen as a DIY learning project. To have ready. I found a used one for $60, with nothing but Reverse working. Thanks!

[@ErikRose_]

That’s awesome, got to get them started young haha. Honestly I don’t have much to complain about I’m pretty happy with the results. If had to choose some stuff I probably would have upgraded the clutch steels to kolene steels and as well as some other upgrades in the transmission but then again if you’re doing a factory rebuild it’s kind of irrelevant. But yeah just addressing common issues, just to make it that more reliable.

[@benrojas5444]

Idk why you got comments abiut the hands, i didnt even notice em 😂 keep up the good work very informative

[@ErikRose_]

lol, thanks man people always have something to say haha. Anyways appreciate you watching 🙏

[@treadway47025]

Where did you get the bracket for the engine stand to hold the trans?

we actually made it ourselves lol just welded a bunch of pieces together

wat stall do u recommend for (6.0 stage 2 cam, long tubes)

2800 stall

[@gustavoadame8850]

so i have a lq9 6.0 would you hapen to have a link to the proper flex plate ?

[@ErikRose_]

I think it would be the same one I put one mine the flat flexplate with the spacer, but I’m not exactly sure.

[@dromendoza]

Did you have any problems once you put the turbo in to run crossover pipe with the 4L80

[@ErikRose_]

Not there yet starting the turbo install in a few days ! 🔥

[@ErikRose_]

Haven’t got to that point yet the truck is still NA, but if there is any issues or things to work around I’ll try to make sure I address them in the video.

[@rickyteggy]

Can I used the stock driveshaft or will I need to change it ?

[@ErikRose_]

youll more than likely need to change it bro mine came out alot shorter than the original one 👍

[@luneyberd]

Hopefully that flex plate is sfi or your gonna snap it when you boost it! but great job dude keep it up

[@ErikRose_]

ill look into that but it had great reviews lol

[@frankdatank7751]

Awesom setup what drop is that thanks??

[@ErikRose_]

4/6 drop brotha 👌

[@geio8835]

you won’t be using a different yoke or replacing the u joint?

[@ErikRose_]

Yeah I upgraded to a aluminum driveshaft and 1350 yokes.

[@gustavoortiz4099]

Someone help me out I did a 6.0 and 4l80 on my 03 gmc but the truck stalls with I put it on drive if someone know something lmk

[@ErikRose_]

what harness did you get? if its a cheap chinese one thats a good place to start those cause all types of issues.

[@cristianjantes7453]

Do I need the fly wheel spacer for my Lq9 engine

[@ErikRose_]

I don’t think but not completely sure, I would double check first

[@dannynunez6528]

I wanna do the same swap but can it be done with a 4.8 engine??

[@ErikRose_]

Yeah you can do it on a 4.8

[@rubenvillalobos15]

What shifter linkage did you use bro ?

[@ErikRose_]

Stock shifter linkage, just had to buy the 4l80e bracket for the linkage.

[@julianhernandez9827]

i have an 02 suburban and need a new tranny. any idea which i should get?

[@ErikRose_]

depends if you’re gonna keep it stop just do another 4l60 and add an trans cooler

[@namelast7289]

Hey what dipstick tube did you use

[@ErikRose_]

Currently using one for the th400 fits it but could be a bit longer

[@davidcovan607]

Any idea if it's 4x4 will 4l60e transfer case swap right to 4l80e

[@ErikRose_]

I think the splines are different, probably won’t work unless you can swap the spines out.

[@gapingtonbobuah9299]

Video starts @4:39 ✅

[@RDvisions]

So I could reuse my stock driveshaft for the 4l60? And could I reuse my torque converter?

[@ErikRose_]

No the torque converter is a different bolt pattern than the 4l60e and the driveshaft will work but you will need a 4l80e slip yoke and might need to shorten the driveshaft a bit.

[@RDvisions]

@@ErikRose_ thanks for the info🙏🏽

[@ErIk-yw3je]

So im at risk of having my driveshaft exploding if i remove my speed limiter?

[@ErikRose_]

Apparently high speeds are dangerous lol

[@daredevildare3641]

I’ve heard the stock driveshafts are only balanced to around 100 mph

[@ricardomanriquez1647]

do you think all of this applies to an 04 Denali Yukon?

[@ErikRose_]

If you have a 6.0 or awd then it might be slightly different.

[@realmistahwong]

Would it be the same parts needed for 4x4?

[@ErikRose_]

Probably only difference would be the crossmember but most of it should be the same and the 4wd 4l80e

[@blacklabelperformance]

Good info, my 4L65E is not liking my 2 step. 👍

[@ErikRose_]

Glad i could help brotha! 🔥

[@builttobeat2741]

Did you have to reflash the computer for it

[@ErikRose_]

Yeah reflash was needed to get it going

[@Heemcleen]

What do i need for a driveshaft

[@ErikRose_]

Depends on your setup, but if it’s single cab 2wd. You honestly can just use the stock drive shaft and just change the slip yoke.

[@pawpawtina]

"you pay what you get for" lolol

its true 🤣

what dipstick did you use ? part number or link ?

How much you spend in total total

about $900 bro but thats because i got a good deal on my 4l80 on offer for $400 !

@@ErikRose_ Hahahh dang, I didn't buy it cause like 3 months ago my friend who does transmissions said the swap is a lot of work and money, decided to let him build out the 4l65e for more power and durability instead. What a good deal that sucker was 400 bucks glad to see someone who races got it.

Appreciate it bro, yeah it’s not cheap it all adds up quick haha. Yeah you should be set with that 4l65e being built. Good luck with the build..

@ErikRose_ how much you want for it

[@erickavalos4161]

Is your motor stock?

[@ErikRose_]

Yup, Stock other than a cam.

[@LS_Rooster]

Take the 4l60 and find a stock 4.8 with some ring gap and a lil turbski and maybe drop it in something small, Itll give the 4Llimpy a little longer chance to survive being in a lighter car lol

[@ErikRose_]

that’s actually not a bad idea 🤔

@@ErikRose_ first time I’ve ever heard that 🤣

Haha my brother has a spare 5.3 as well on a stand. So that with some ring gap and 4l60e sheesh. Lol it would be nice in a smaller car.

[@LS_Rooster]

@@ErikRose_ get a decent stall and a shift kit even and just give er the beans.

[@gloriamaletta8667]

The 4L80 is more sturdy than a 4L60 but l'm not a fan of the 2.48 1st gear ratio of the 4L80 the 3.06 1st gear in the 4L60 is better and if you throw a 6L80 in the mix it has a super low 4.03 1st gear whats the big deal well with a 6L80 trans with a 3.27 - 3.42 rear end gearing will leave from a dead stop as well as a 4L80 trans would with 4.30 rear gears and not only that but in 6th gear with a 6L80 trans and 3.27 - 3.42 rear gear will be much more pleasant and peaceful to drive on the highway at 80mph than 4.10 - 4.30 gearing would be in a 4L80 trans the difference at 80mph would be 2100 -2300 rpm with a 6L80 trans with 3.27 - 3.42 rear gearing and with a 4L80 trans with 4.10 - 4.30 rear gearing 2900 - 3200 rpm if both had lockup torque converters

[@matthewybarra601]

Sounds louder now

[@Legendary_Frank]

4L80s rev high cause the gear ratios are low honestly unless his truck is boosted he lost horsepower

[@daredevildare3641]

@@Legendary_Frankthe ratio difference is not a whole lot and you don’t lose horsepower by gear ratio it just changes the power band but the most important reason for this swap is so the 4lslippy doesn’t gernade

[@Legendary_Frank]

@@daredevildare3641 it’s very different first gear on a 60 is 3.06 and first gear on a 80 is 2.48 that’s a major difference

I never understood why everyone wants to 4l80 swap, I'll take a built 4l60 over a built 4l80 any day.

[@racingjunk7024]

Then you have never dealt with gm trans then . Every drag car runs a th400 (ie 4l80) over a th350 (ie 4l60) . No matter if you tow or race a 80 is better stronger . Better oiling . List goes on and on . 4l60 is decent for stock that’s is . Spending money on it is a waste
