Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

[Rocket Man]

Just talked to a trans guy, $1500-1800, depending if it needs planetaries or not. He wanted $800 to just replace what was wrong instead of a whole rebuild, so what's the sense in that? He said doing that, we night get another year or 2 out of it. Do it once, and do it right! In the long run, it'll be less money. On a high note, I just sold my Jack for $20! So now we just need $1780. We're almost there.

You can get a rebuilt 4l60e from RockAuto for a little over $1000. Just throwing that out there. I was looking into them awhile back, out of curiosity.

With updates and upgrades or stock rebuild?
It won't last long with a stock rebuild.

Thx Red. I checked it out, and I think I'm gonna have to go with the rebuild. He knows how I drive, ahem, and this is with updates and a shift kit. I think I'm gonna tell him to use a vette servo too. I'm only getting a 1 yr /12,000 mile warranty, but hopefully it'll be ok. He redid the trans in my work van, and you know the expression, "Drive it like you stole it", applies in my situation! Lol, so he knows. The van drives great and also has a shift kit in it. When it shifts it actually feels like it leaps, so he knows his stuff. Thx for your input tho, I greatly appreciate it..
BTW, here's pics of the plug loom and the hood led lights.

Sounds good Tony. Good work on your wiring too. How long for the rebuild?

Thx. It would've looked a little better, but I just got frustrated. Guy told me between 1-2 days, in and out the door.
