Time to keep on keeping on. So we're gonna have to pull this little guy out. Oh, we're in the right direction so take that out. And they sent the other training pin Bolt with it. So remove this. It's a do not remove bracket until transmission. Bolt The engine or pump damage will occur under the penalty of law. Well, it looks like that sticker's gonna stand for a moment. We'll put this back in. we'll give that a snug a Duggar Make sure our torque converter still turns here. it's and it does. So that's good. And then what I'm going to do because it's difficult to show is we're going to line this up with one of the holes and then I'm going to tighten up the torque converter now. They gave us new bolts. where are you guys? Somewhere's over here So we have our new bolts uh with the Loctite on them. So I'm going to take and just put those in back through the starter hole. Then we're going to put our plastic Shields back on either side of the transmission. but that plastic? Shield Then of course torque converter is tight. Now for this plastic. Shield Back in and then set the starter back in there I Think we're in the home stretch. We'll put this little fella back on. Hopefully that's the right way. I Believe it is. Stick this on and then we have to do our transfer case. I Guess we can stick that back in I Have to do a little bit more manual scraping it is. Aluminum So you have to be careful with the cookie wheels and such. I'm going to go along here and make sure everything's clean. We don't want to leak, that's for sure. I'll slide our new gasket up on here. only goes one way so you can't screw that up. These are not evenly spaced. Okay, no great way to put a transfer case in there. Kind of awkward to put on a training deck so we just pick them up and in. but these ones you can set back on the torsion bar bracket. kind of take a break and then you know, pick it up. Usually you can get it started on the output shaft here and then rotate it where you need it and then slide it on the studs typically, but they are pretty stylish. It's gonna be a little suckers. Just don't forget the gasket, stick it up and over and then got me. Come on baby! Okay I just gotta move this shift cable and then we can rotate it around. Should be able to foreign, make sure we didn't damage the gasket. Whoops. I Think it's okay. What's good for my house? So once you get all the nut signs, there's three I think six or seven of those that goes all the way around. You've got to run the harness back around. There's a few speed sensors. There's one back there. There's one up here on the output. There's another one about right up here on the tail shaft. So there's three of those. and you've got the connector for the transfer case, shift motor, and then put the Christmas tree Fasteners back in. You know, in the connector there and then this harness here, as well as the vent tube that runs right here in that little Notch to the transfer case. The shift control cable runs up and over there and there is a vent. so the rubber vet up there at the top and set the Slate down. I Guess this one here, you know, goes into that Fastener up there and that's pretty well it this bracket we had unbolted off the transportation you remember. so I bolted that back down. Uh, but that's a transfer case. goes in pretty quick. Now we can install the lower Mount that goes back on here. make sure it's facing the right direction we can put our exhaust in, throw the drive shafts in, and boom we're done. Somebody was nice enough to draw an arrow on this one for us, so that works out pretty well. Sometimes it doesn't matter if there's a front or rear, but sometimes it does and it's just as easy to mark them when you take them off instead of getting it all together to find out like it's just a whisker off that didn't work. Did it? Try this again. Here we go: lactate on them so they go in a little bit hard there. Oh, foreign. don't fall foreign. I'm sure you guys remember, on the passenger side, you have to remove the oxygen sensor here I Think I can reach up through the underliner I Put a tiny bit of never season on those threads. and don't forget your donut on this side either. You have a big old exhaust leak if you do. I've got these all tightened up. Just got to tighten up this O2 sensor. Get that threaded in and then before we go any further, we'll go ahead and put the Uh cross member in it. We've got to hook up the O2 sensors and we'll put the cross number in it. Let me get this thing snugged up that's all threaded in my hand. We need to put the front drive shaft back in and in order to do that, we need to reuse our clamp that we took off. Now you can elect to buy these new or some people put zip ties in them. I Just reopen them. It's not imperative that they hold back like a fluid or anything like that. so we just kind of open these back up and then we can reuse it. There's that. Let me get the yolk in the front here. Let's reach up, click it back in the notch. Okay, now line it up with this one in case he takes it to a car show. you know where they stick the mirror under the truck and stuff. and then we have a special pair of pliers. It's these little guys here. if you guys can see them, let me just give that a squeeze. Boom. Got the clamp going that way instead of this way and it's on the same side so it's all going to be out of balance. Well, that's okay. it'll be all right. That's gonna drive somebody nuts right there. I Put the bolts in different than they were from the factory. Looks like we have a skid plate that goes on there. There's a little guard that goes under the transfer case left the rear drive shaft. We need to take the front drive shaft still, obviously. but that's about it. Then we're almost done. For real this time. Foreign. Now we have to install the Z71 package. So this is the off-road package for your Chevy Right here this is. boys. I Can go off-roading while you got this one and then you got the plastic one in the front there. We'll snug our drain back up here. very gingerly. Foreign. What about uh, the other? and after you might be screwed folks I swear I had a couple quarts of auto track two upstairs if I can't find it for the life of me. I Don't know if any of the parts stores around here carry that, so I'm gonna have to do some looking. uh I think in the meantime we can, you know, obviously fill up the transmission. but let's get that plug in there lightly see what we can do here. Uh, let's take and button this exhaust together here on the flange and then we'll uh Panic a little bit. now. this just had regular nuts and bolts in it when we took it apart originally. So I just put new 3 8 bolts in there from the factory that would have studs in it. The good news is called down an Amber and they had some GM Auto Track 2 fluid in stock. 15 quarts of it. We only need two so I ordered three. We're Gonna Fill This fell up with some Mobile One Synthetic LV ATF HP high performance formula for automatic transmissions I Worked this right from General Motors from a Chevy garage and this is what they sent. Mmm, smells yummy. Dump that in. I'm going to start with six. We'll put in six quarts. We'll fire it up and it's not a big deal with the transfer case being empty is we're not going to take it for a Shakedown but we can run it through its gears on the lift here. no load on it, it'll be okay. You have to trust me on that. Got the auto track too. Professional Napper Thankfully they had it because it's like a bonehead man I swear I have this upstairs as soon as I get done with this I'm gonna find it. You don't use it that often because we don't see too many of these older trucks in anymore. Most of these things have long since been in. The crusher fluid's kind of neat I Don't know if you guys can see it, but it's blue, so kind of a unique stuff. I Don't know if there's any aftermarket compatibility with it with any aftermarket transfer case fluids or anything. Oftentimes we'll see these transfer cases come in with, you know, the regular ATF in them and usually we notice it when the transfer case is smoked. you know we drain it, we see it doesn't have any auto track two in it. Can't get this in here so we're going to take and push a couple quarts in here. Get it running, take it for a Shakedown Foreign foreign 's not running right out of it so that's good. Everything looks pretty dry. left it running for a while here so it's pretty warmed up and you can kind of put back in its place. I Don't think we missed the single clip. Bolt The only thing we did different was we ran the bolts and opposite from what they were from the factory, but it doesn't really matter because it's not a flex fuel vehicle so there's no sensor hanging off that so it doesn't really matter. At the end of the day, drive shafts are in and tight. Okay, let's take her for two, all right. So we're just adjusted the bottom of the hot Mark here right? that bottom dot which is good. Now the train is certainly not hot guys. The engine temperature is about halfway up so we're gonna have to go dry that I Don't see if there's any adaptations we need to do first. we're just going to go in and reset the adaptations. I Think that's all we have to do on this little fella? Boom, there we go the Victory Drive Hopefully as long as it doesn't spread a bunch of parts in the bottom of the pan, babies do for some exhaust manifolds. Thank you! Make sure our transfer case can shift or high too high must be the auto button doesn't work. Client never gets used before. High definitely does. Too high does. Let's make sure we have four low. Yep. I Just heard the shift complete. Let's make sure it works. Oh yeah, neutral or I too high. Now it seems to work and drive and shift nicely. Of course it'll clean up a little bit as it makes its adaptations, but so far so good. there you have folks. made it back to the shop. Everything seems good. Transmission seems Seems to shift nicely so we can't complain about that. I'm gonna just double check the fluid, take a spin underneath it, make sure everything's high and dry if it's not. well. I'll bring you back along. but I think we're going to be okay I've had pretty good success with the old Jasper products and uh, can't really complain about them so we're going to leave it at that. And I don't want you complaining about anything either in that comment section. but if you got something to say, put it down there. The questions, the comments, the concerns, the insty the Facebook just my reviewers. If I can do it, you can do it. Thanks for watching.

    Yo Eric, did you put the wrong fluid in?
    The 4l60e that I know of only take dexron 6 and the the lv atf hp fluid that the 8-speed gets(8l90e). I know the bottle states that it can be backwards compatible but the dealer says itโ€™s not?

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TS says:

    Question for you transmission gurus: I used to watch Precision Transmission's channel, and they always warned against installing your own transmission because of some sort of adjustments that had to be made. They were so adamant about that, they wouldn't rebuild or sell a transmission unless they installed it onto the car themselves. But I didn't see anything that looked like adjustments here. Did I miss something?

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars executive says:

    I thought 4L60e's took Dexron VI. What is that stuff?

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Bush says:

    So Iโ€™m leaving a comment cause you asked so nicely Mr. O. Excellent three-parter my man. Looking forward to an engine rebuild series whenever you have the opportunity. BTW-I bought a South Main Auto hoodie from your store and the graphic on the back only lasted a couple of wash cycles. Too bad because itโ€™s a really cool design. Still keeps me warm though. Anyway thanks for all of the entertaining videos!

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Oscar Jones says:

    In case you didnโ€™t know, when he separated the original trans/tcase and lost fluid, thatโ€™s not normal. The rear seal on the trans likely blew out/leaked, losing ATF into the trans to tcase adapter. At least it appears that way in the other video. And most shops donโ€™t even use a gasket between the adapter and tcase, just silicone so Iโ€™m glad he did the gasket

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Johnny Sechrist says:

    Had only one problem with Jasper, a Ford engine with wrong crank bearings…knocked like hell on first crank….back in the 80's on a F100. They made it good except the increased labor cost for the customer.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Atsue says:

    First off, thanks for the great video. I've been subbed for a couple of years now and very much appreciate your approach to repairs. You are informative and easy to follow. Many others are too but you have a certain way about things that just makes it better, (for me at least). You have helped me do a lot of my own repairs and repairs to other peoples vehicles (mostly family). So I'm curious about something you said here Mr. O. I have changed my T-case fluid on my 2003 Chevy Z71 and my repair manual called for regular ATF. My question is, is the Auto Trak 2 a better fluid or a fluid recommendation change that was maybe done after i bought my repair manual? If this is the case, I need to get the ATF out of my T-case before it does damage. If you or anyone on here can send me the right direction, I'd much appreciate it. Thanks.

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Monte Stu says:

    I used a Jasper in my 1977 Caprice with a TH200. It worked great, no failures and the TH200 was a crappy transmission.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Studly says:

    I liked the way you checked and adjusted the spacing between the torque converter and the flex plate. Important to get full engagement with the pump and the converter.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WhiskeyRiverRifleman says:

    When you made the comment about switching the bolts around I laughed out loud for real because I did this job about 2 weeks ago and I turned one bolt around and left the other where it was in the stock position LOL just to be a total smart ass I guess

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marion Mitchell says:

    Eric I bet very few, there are some, would go to the trouble to make sure the correct fluid, all the plastic clips, every bracket is tightened, all the little things that are a pain in the rear end to do are completed. The folks around Avoca are, or should be honored to have you in their midst!! AND that truck should be a fluid film commercial, my gawd that thing looked like it was from Arizona.
    That is remarkable.

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Immelmann Whiplash says:

    Agree that Jasper is a good brand. You get what you pay for, as they say. However, was told at GM training in transmission class by instructor that you should not paint an automatic transmission as this tends to trap heat because the case cannot radiate heat away as well as the bare, semi porous, surface of the aluminum case. This is surely true of aluminum engine components as well. Of course a remanufactured bare aluminum case is not as pretty as a new one, or a painted one. But it will run cooler.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Lund Sr says:

    Last winter I changed out the 4L80 transmission in my 04 Sierra 2500 4×4. I don't have the luxury of a lift so I single handedly did the entire job on the garage floor. I'm an old man of 66 years and quicky found that I don't have the strength of my former 20-year-old body! LOL It was entertaining watching your progress. You do great work! BTW, I had a valve drop into cylinder #7 on in our Chevy moho while on a trip to Texas. Tore up the bore, piston, and head chamber. That was a Jasper engine with less than 10K miles, but the company wouldn't cover the engine due to the expiration date had lapsed. We ended up selling the coach while parked at a service garage and took a huge loss.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jack 6703 says:

    In my 35+ yrs of building transmissions it is good practice to replace the front transfer case seal as it seal fluid from leaking trans fliud into transfer case or vise versa. The rubber gets hard form heat and cracks just thought worth mentioning. Thanks for your videos keeps me turning wrenches since retiring with out the grease ๐Ÿ‘

    I noticed you marked the driveshafts this time, Eric. Tired of the haters telling you how to do your job? ๐Ÿ™‚ As a side note, my 2002 Avalanche (just over 500k miles down here in TX where we never rust) has invited me to change out the cats twice. Each time I installed the crossover bolts with two in one direction and two the other. Just because I could.

    Seems like a labor intensive job. How many hours ?

    I really enjoyed this transmission Mr O. Nothing shifty, and it was geared for the mechanic and pretend mechanic alike. Having you transfer you knowledge is always the case, but you have to be careful to not get the shaft with your drive for knowledge.

    Valvoline makes the fluid that goes in those transfer cases in the aftermarket. I know because my 07 Ram has the automatic transfer case in it. That's the fluid the Dodge dealer got me for my truck. It said compatible with GM autotrac on it. I have used Jasper Products also with good results. I got to tour their two facility's in Indiana. They flew five of us down there in their own plane. gave us the tour, fed us breakfast and lunch. Very impressive place.

    Mr O just a question. What's the deal with the string of train cabooses I saw on the left? thanks

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Randy .Duncan says:

    Thanks my friend. I really enjoyed this 3 part series. I learn something new on every one of your videos

    The only thing. I wouldnโ€™t have you touch my cars because you rev them out, you punch the accelerator!! When you test the cars you fix, you beat the snot out of them. I donโ€™t get itโ€ฆ. I watch all your videos. I love what you doโ€ฆ but it Messes me up when you test drive what you fixโ€ฆโ€ฆ

    Surprised at the good condition of that underbody. Considering the price of used trucks today, Iโ€™d have no qualms about popin in a new Jasper. The Chevy lives again. Noyce work there partner.

    the 4L60E………perfectly fine for a 1200kg passenger car(once it had the updates)……..not so fine for heavy pick up trucks with big ole V8's………..5L80 is what should have gone in them, GM goofed that up.

    I know the bell and phone ringing means money but I swear every time Eric is working. Nice.

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bluethunder says:

    I really enjoyed watching this repair, lots of things to take into account, any idea what caused the original tranny to fail? One thing you might want to consider for working under the vehicles, better lighting.

    A rare Vortec diesel. Don't see those everyday. ๐Ÿ˜€

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mungtor says:

    Yup. I'm the guy who gets bothered by the cross member bolts. I don't know why, but in my brain the threaded portion of a fastener should always point towards the rear of the vehicle. I know it doesn't make a difference – but if it was my truck I'd take them out one at a time and put them in "right". shrug

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ben Patana says:

    Well done Eric!

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars HOTROD43 says:

    how much does it cost for you to do that kind of work just asking

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars r hare says:

    Great job Kevin

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dumb Ass says:

    Did you get in trouble for milking it

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Fred Walker says:

    Eric, we had to replace our garage van 4L 80E for typical lock up Convertor problems โ€œslippageโ€ very common โ€œfailureโ€ with 108K on the clock . I bought from my local GM store for $ 3,500.00 with convertor ! 2009 Savanna Van! This failure is still happening in 2017 2& 4 wheel trucks ! 3 yr. Warranty makes me feel a little better ! No bull if a problem comes up ! If so , take to any GM dealer, they donโ€™t try to fix in house,,,full free replacement ( in writing ) Still should not fail with low Kโ€™s,, & not cheap ! Good vid Eric,,as usual !

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gerald Martin says:

    Great video series. You should send it to Stuntman to break her in properly๐Ÿคฃ

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Haan says:

    I realize this is the owners choice but was this, in your opinion, economically smart to replace the tranny?

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cody Sallander says:

    I put the bolts In different on the crossmember all the time lol

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stationary Engines World wide says:
