    I FOUND THE WARRANTY. Get this though, it expired a day before the trans went out.:sunot: I have the worst luck.

    6.0 Swap Time!

    This leads me to believe it was the trans making that clunking.

    6.0 Swap Time!

    That was the first thing I did, flushed all the lines, the cooler, and the rad. Thought maybe it was a blockage, but its definitely the pump. I did not install the torque converter correctly, and i paid for it.

    6.0 Swap Time!

    No sense standin around kickin dirt and bein pissed off. Just an opportunity to double down and learn to rebuild it myself. It sucks, but its a learning experience. I refuse to let it happen again.

    6.0 Swap Time!

    I bought both the transmission and the torque converter new from JEGS. I don't believe it was under a warranty. I've already purchased a rebuild kit and have found a very in depth, step by step video from Dude We Can Fix It on youtube. If the pump is the only issue, I'll get another one and...

    6.0 Swap Time!

    Got the computer today, installed it, ran great for about 15 min before my transmission started overheating. How would putting a new computer in cause the trans to overheat? I didn't try to haul ass or drive it like a maniac, I'm at a loss here. The 4L60E is BRAND NEW. UPDATE: My new...

    6.0 Swap Time!

    So my 6.0 Swap is finally done! For someone who's never done this before, I think I did pretty good. Only issue I ran into was I forgot to put the metal gasket between the passenger side exhaust manifold and the exhaust pipe. Easy fix. The difference in power is unreal, even without a tune...

    Ignition Coils

    I'm doing a 6.0 swap on my 02 Tahoe and i want to use the 5.3 ignition coils, but im not sure if they're compatible with the 6.0. Its an L59 to LQ9 swap, i just cant seem to find any information regarding compatibility. I'd have no problem using the 6.0 coils if half of them didn't get broken...

    Oil Pump Compatibility

    I ordered a new oil pump for my 6.0, upon recieving it, i realized that i accidentally got a Melling HP 10295 instead of a standard Melling Oil Pump. I've heard too many horror stories about high pressure/high volume pumps causing all kinds of problems with stock engines. I do not want to use...

    6.0 Swap Time!

    I'm having a hell of a time finding someone to reflash the ECM. I tried talking to Flagship One about it. They told me it was not possible to reflash my 5.3 to operate the 6.0, or reflash a 6.0 to my VIN, and that doing so was illegal. I can't imagine that's even remotely true. Does anyone know...

    6.0 Swap Time!

    6.0 arrived today. Unfortunately, the ignition coils and wires were damaged in transit. It appears to have a fuel return, but i'm not sure. Are the 5.3 wires and coils interchangeable with the 6.0?

    6.0 Swap Time!

    I have a complete gasket and seal kit for the 6.0. Everything is getting replaced in that respect. I know the oil pumps can be a later problem as well, so i'll be replacing that too.

    6.0 Swap Time!

    I should mention this 6.0 engine comes complete. Fuel rails, injectors, all accessories and components that came with it. I don't think i've ever put e85 in the 5.3. I have no knowledge on tuning, and wouldn't even know where to start. I planned on sending the computer out to be reflashed, but...

    6.0 Swap Time!

    I'm putting an LQ9 6.0 from a 2003 Escalade (8th Vin N) in my 2002 Tahoe. The L59 5.3 in it has 280k on it, and its making some ungodly noises that sound a lot like bad rod bearings or crankshaft bearings. Keep in mind, i'm no expert mechanic, i'm just quite mechanically inclined. I've rebuilt...

    4l60E irreparable?

    I'm planning on doing it next weekend. I have to do the rotors, pads, LCA ball joints/bushings, and wheel bearings on the Tahoe first. I'll take plenty of pictures as I break it down though, I want to document the process as thoroughly as I can. I might have to take the rooster comb/detent lever...

    4l60E irreparable?

    There was a LOT of aluminum in the pan, small chunks and plenty of dust.

    Issues with Private Conversations

    I'm not quite sure where to post this, seeing as there is no Forum Troubleshooting threads. I'm having issues posting pictures in private conversations to other members. Whenever I try to drag and drop into a reply, nothing happens. The Attach Files button is all but gone, and using a URL or...

    4l60E irreparable?

    Recently swapped out my transmission for a JEGs Performance 4L60E. I was hoping to rebuild the old one to gain some knowledge on these things. However, after taking off the pan and seeing this right by the filter intake, I'm wondering if its beyond repair, as that looks like part of the case...

    2002 Torsion Bar Reindexing

    Here it is. Drivers side. 2 in threaded plumbing pipe sleeved over bilstein 5100 monotube shocks. Modified a 2 in threaded pipe flange to accommodate coil springs salvaged from an old boat trailer that was used to build a custom front bumper. Needs some paint. I know it looks like its touching...

    SMV Lower Control Arms

    I also googled it before I posted this. None of those threads in really any of those forums offer any answers. The parts that pop up are different than what I'm looking for. When I search for lower ball joints or bushings with that LCA number, it gives me results for different LCA's, and no...

    SMV Lower Control Arms

    I've been trying to gather some information on these lower control arms and I really can't find anything relevant. The LCA's are stamped SV66210120 F3 SMV. My goal here is to find a direct replacement or to find replacement bushings and balljoints, as mine have seen better days. They are...
