6.0 lq9 Vs. 4L60E trans

[homedic3181]

I have an lq9 to drop into my truck with a full set of bolt on parts and a cam, how quickly am I going to destroy the 4L60E? Are there any upgrades to do with the trans to prolong the inevitable?

have it built into a 65e at least.....

You will be fine with the 60e, but I would suggest a shift kit, and vette servo at the minimum. A larger transmission cooler would be good too.

I installed a vette servo on my supercharged 5.3L and the 60e is still running strong!

how many miles are on your stock 4l60e? mine lasted about 5k with the 6.0, but i had 150k on the original so its time was up..Just got my truck back with a built 4l65e so i should be set for a while

I currently have 85k on my 60E, any recommendations on shift kits?

also should i be looking to change the stall converter with the swap and cam?

you might as well since youll have access to the trans...

I have the transgo HD2 shift kit and vette servo and have no problems with it..nice and firm shifts

and get the biggest tranny cooler you can, a good TrailBlazer stall will be fine, but also depending on cam specs. You may need a bigger Yank.

whats a normal trans temp? mine is just over 150 and no matter if im barely driving or if im beatin on it, it never changes..thats on the stock cooler

Justin has the Trans Go HD2 and Vette Servo in his Silverado as well, no issues.
