Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

...5500 would pretty much get me the last trans i would ever need to put in this thing.

You wouldn't want your trans limiting you to how much you can turn it up. So, buying (and likely burning up) a $3,000 trans then doing it all over with the $5,500 one you should've went with in the first place doesn't sound very smart.

It's easy to say when it's not MY money!

Nah I know, it's pretty much the most attractive option at this point (4l80) Just kinda sick of spending money on it right now
Any of them is going to take 4-6weeks to get to me and I'll be missing it by then. so I need to make up my mind and do it

powerglide

no

and

no


am thinking about a transbrake tho...not necessarily for me, but doing it now would be cheaper and make it much more valuable if i ever want to sell it

also was going to wait till i had a few more pennies in my piggy bank before dropping 5k on a trans, but figured it couldnt hurt to ask CCs if they had any special financing... 0% for 12 months works for me

on the bright side.... circle d said they can hack up my 6l80 converter, keep all the billet parts, replace the pump, stator and turbine necessary to mate up to the 4l80, and give me two-hunnet for the first converter i bought from them towards the work. so i'll get off pretty cheap there, and will work with the sfi plate i just put on

It's been four days since the last update. Anything new?

 

[randeez]

nope

bought/got a transmission jack, ordered the pcm of nc harness http://www.pcmofnc.com/product/6l80e-to-4lxxe-conversion-harness-generic-3/ , 4l80 to transfer case adapter that i need to put onto the bw4485 and see how long i need output shaft to be.

havent even touched truck since i parked it though. not much motivation lately and been raining.... need to get trans pulled to send converter off to circle d, try and do hydroboost while its down

How much did that transmission come out to @randeez ? And how much do you like these guys and their builds?
