We do retain all speed sensors and E-brakes with these 60's. they work perfect.

This is going to be a little more of a mild build, the red one will have the super charged LS motor.

here is a video of the Black one.

Our own. We build them in house. we can cut and narrow, respline shafts.
this is our direct bolt in replacement axle for the JK. Its a currie housing, then we build everything else.
we use Dynatrac and stock housings too

well..............................................we couldn't take it anymore.
we and everyone else thought it was a wiring issue.
we checked everything, even reflashed another computer, brought it to Howel to have them look at it.

We siad F__it , tore the body off the frame and swaped out the motor..

We don’t know yet. There were multiple issues that we found. Compression wasn’t like a newer motor should be, the last 2 lifters were loose (as if the push rods were bent) and the oil was real nasty looking after running it a short time. We think that something in the VOD and or VVT was messed up.

Right, i only put that because i didnt know what to put in the title.
i actaully call it Monday,,,, the red one is tuesday.i figure we need three more.


Back to the build. we are getting a new program for the computer this week. with the different year motor and trans the program doesnt work right with the transmission.

what did you have to do to get the 08 motor to work with the 6L80E? and which t-case did you use?

basically no one is using these transmissions in aftermarket applications as yet - I've been reading about people having a lot of problems with the torque management/aftermarket torque converters causing the clutches to prematurely wear.

can you shed some more light on what you're doing to work around these issues?
