new edge trans dipstick install and calibration

[@BigMikesGarage]

A cool trick you can do is to put a 3/8-16 helicoil in the bellhousing bolt hole that the LS engine doesn't use. Then you can use a short bolt to mount your dipstick tube.

[@ClarksAutoAndPerformance]

Glad we're getting some videos again!

[@BmoreFox]

You’re lucky. I’ve bought 3-4 “stock” th400 dipsticks for my fox & none were ever right so I grabbed a Jegs flexible one & it’s too short but it works lol

[@cobramustang331]

Glad to see your getting to work!

[@CanadaBud23]

Allstar is usually pretty good. A lot of the stuff I sold was Allstar because the feedback on their parts were usually always good. That last minute and a half was pretty magical.

[@angusyoungsg]

You and Deboss Garage are the reason all my electric tools are Milwaukee. Judging by the amount of Milwaukee posts in sloppy public I'm not the only one, not sure why they don't like u anymore...

[@TrojanLube69]

Yeah that and project farm testings. You should take a look. But don’t get addicted, lol i

[@CanadaBud23]

I'm just guessing here but I'm thinking the regional guys in the area are probably a bit jealous or jaded in some way. Matt's probably responsible for 10's of thousands in Milwaukee sales at least. I mean I even spent over a grand in tools just because of that and I'm not even done yet lol.

[@jaredshaffer3901]

I think I remember something about him giving an honest review of some of their products that he didn't actually like. They didn't like his honesty.

[@SpeedDemon88X]

The Dewalt ergonomics are much better IMO. But the Milwaukees tend to have a bit more power and a better overall lineup. Can't go wrong with either. I prefer 20v Dewalt and 12v Milwaukee personally.

[@Stevesbe]

Look at those fancy pants mechanic gloves

[@SloppyMechanics]

hahah you see the holes in them

[@moosestangls5099]

That's a nice build matt you found that man's piggy bank didn't you ? 😂

[@wesleyfowler8363]

Allstar makes some really nice parts

[@cameron878]

Proud dad moment

[@admtnic]

Matt, how do you like having the lift? Do the posts and arms being there make it feel like you lost floor space, or is it totally worth it?

[@SloppyMechanics]

100% worth it, if i need to work on interior alot i move to other bay, would be nice to have it it all but, it is incredible as you would expect being able to yank up and down

[@wobblysauce]

That and can change the bung hights also.

[@CTemple82]

The Jegs wheels look good! Should send the rears out to MacFab to get beadlocked or get another pair to have done that way you have both.

[@TrojanLube69]

When things go in like legos when building a car, there isn’t a better feeling.

[@Vehicular.Shenanigans]

It makes me feel uneasy I’m like uh oh what’s wrong here lol

[@FPVForLife]

@@Vehicular.Shenanigans And then, most of the time, some shit is about to happen...

[@frostback8160]

Awesome 👌 what transmission brake are you using?

[@timdontwannasay5889]

Mr Roger's! Ots been a while! 😆

[@davidmcnerney3048]

Havent had time to catch up with yall.

[@murray81]

Did you leave the one trans bolt loose when putting the pan back on in the video for everyone else to Lose there minds 🤣

[@SloppyMechanics]

i can go back and knock one lose, then cross thread, then leave it cross threaded but not bottomed out

[@Seemego4WD]

I have that dipstick for my 82 s15, worked perfectly. But you have impact sockets.... :eek:

[@TheRcbthree]

are you doing any shift kits or anything with your 4l80 these days. I know one time you had a recommendation then there was the recommendation not to use the kit. thanks for the great videos!

[@Ribbityibzki]

That one was built by Cameron Powers and has some fancy good parts in it. The transgo HD2 is still pretty standard, you just don't do the relief mod from the first step.

[@MrMasterDin]

I did the hd2 Junior kit, so far so good and it's a small kit so it's easy if you haven't done one before. Curious if others are using this one as well. Happy with it so far shifts awesome!

[@andrewmoss8909]

I had the same thing cept my bracket was backwards. Had to cut of and zap zap er' back on.

[@SloppyMechanics]

yeah similar, its on the wrong side of the tube.

[@michaelholguin5630]

When will the new cams start shipping out?

[@MrMasterDin]

I used the same dipstick on my 2008 silverado, for anyone wondering it fit good just a little buried at the back of the motor. I've been trying to wrap up my don't bs me style Silverado (5.3, 78/75, triple disc high stall 4l80e). Been kind of stuck on the rear end, truck has 10 bolt 3.73 limited slip (stock), about 700 crank hp, steel driveshaft and weighs 4800lbs. I'm trying to figure out if i need to upgrade the driveshaft (i heard later model stuff is stronger?), should i go to 4.11s with the weight, and upgrade the axles? Thanks for all you do, I watch all your posts, it's much appreciated!

[@angusyoungsg]

If ur planning on doing burnouts and getting ice cream just run it. Weakest spot in there will the the g80 locker. You could put a clutch type lim slip in there and would be a huge upgrade. For track use at that weight a diff swap would likely be wise but for street fun, just letter rip!

[@MrMasterDin]

@@angusyoungsg Yea I want to go to the track so i should probably swap the diff, i just want to keep the 6 lug bolt pattern for the wheels. Ill look into the upgrades you mentioned as well to see if that makes more sense for me. Thanks for the response!

[@angusyoungsg]

@@MrMasterDin I have an 89 with the stock 10 bolt. I put a Yukon lim slip in, chromoly pinion yoke and a gridle diff cover on it because I couldn't fine a reasonably priced 9". So far it's holding up to my turbo 5.3 just fine but it's all street driving on street tires.

[@motoweenies4431]

whats the part number of the milwaulkee light/tray you were using? I looked up lift light and nothing conclusive showed up

[@redman715]

😂

[@nickjarman2783]

Bob feels left out

[@BASTARDSINC]

you do the same thing to those gloves that I do. Cut that bullshit Velcro off haha
