What did you pay each ? I can get the 5100 for $140 cdn. Just trying to see what's the average is. And from what I can see there is two different 5100's part numbers ! Anyone know the difference? I read the description but could see the difference

First time out with the 4l80.. Got a sip of V power. Yes, I know the hood is open[emoji12] and grill missing.

not today but 2 days ago on Saturday. I replaced the Auxillary rear air resistor for the fan speed control. The 1 & 2 speeds were not working leaving only the 3 setting to work. Alternate/OEM Part Number(s): 12477721, 88986482 for $61 from RockAuto.. the process is very simple. remove the rear cargo net screw out nub, pop out the lower panel tree plug, remove the lower and upper door trim, remove the rear pillar trim, remove the 5.5mm bolt on the passenger door seat belt trim by the cup holder. now you can pop the rear corner of the lower cargo side panel out and access the regulator at the rear of the fan. You have 2 nut bolts and 3 wires to disconnect. MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE IS OFF!. reverse process and let that cold AC blast.

What necessitated the 4l80 upgrade?

Cammed 6ltr..Broke 2 transmissions. Last one was a Jasper 4l65 with shift kit and circle d 26-2800 stall. Wanted something beefier.

Man I only drove it thru my neighborhood and to the gas station. Wanted to get a feel for the converter and make sure the trans wasn't slipping. I have the worse combo of 3.42 gears and big wheels to run an 80e but I can already tell it not as bad as most say. I have a 10.5" converter that weighs 1/3 the factory unit that helps. I got some fantom codes popping up for abs C0279 and PCM 1810 that I'm trying to work thru with BB before really getting into it.

I did pump mods and the HD2 kit with sonnax pressure relief valve and shifting is smooth as butter so far. I'll post updates as its worked out.

I got 4600s for $62 us on ebay

5100s likely come in varying lengths. Also keep in mind that the hd trucks have different shock mounts so dont get one of those. Also takenote that there is an old part # and a new part # for thw same shock.

5100s besides length are valved differently than 4600s btw. 5100s are digressive and 4600s are linear.

The two different front shocks in tbe 5100 series are:
