Umm go look at stangkiller performance ZL1500 you will easily change you’re mind.. I AM NOT knocking the copo truck by any means but you said nicest build you have ever seen on an automotive channel and I can’t let that slide. That trucks got over 100k into it and is beautiful. Paddle shifters, 800+ whp, full coil over front and rear, original paint job and interior. He also has built a second one that is red.
@@coltengottschalk1049 the red one originally had red interior and now it's gray...it's original style but not original to the truck...and a painted dash
I love your step by step instructional how-to approach. This is going to live on as great reference material for many people in the near and not so near future.
@@LawrenceTolman I’m rebuilding an 85 Datsun/Nissan 720 pickup with a 2.4l 4 cylinder and a 5 speed stick. Watching how you tackle issues + the tools you use gives me hope that when it’s done, it will be right. And if it’s not, I’ll keep wrenching till it’s my kind of perfect.
LT you have shown GM missed the boat ride, they should of built a factory truck similar to this, it would of sold well and would of been the talk of the town. Thankyou for the video.
Glad you like the mounts and the truck is coming along nicely! I am not sure if you mentioned it but the dipstick tube is different for the 80e vs the 60e . The actual dipstick is the same, just the tube is different. It is a great idea to actual calibrate your dipstick to your "true full" level on your transmission where your builder wants it, typically 1/8" above the pan rail by drilling a hole or scribing a new line. Fluid starving the 80e is a common source of transmission problems in the 80e since the pickup is in the front of the pan. Lastly, if you notch that middle crossmember in front of the gas tank you can drop the tcase and trans together instead of having to separate them first.
No doubt! Protect those ears! I've got tinnitus from my car stereo days back in the early 90's. It isn't fun now, but sure was back then. Great series on the COPO! Love that truck!
FYI, most 120v air compressors have terminals inside the pecker head for 240v. You just need to switch a few spade connectors around. It will use less electricity wired that way, will run better, and won't trip breakers all the time. You can look up the wire schematics for your motor online if they are not inside the motor already.
LT, you’ve got to put AC in that garage. Given the hours your spend out there and the increase in the productivity you’d gain from it, it’d be worth every penny. It’d be a business expense since you’re doing your work for the channel in there. I did that to my garage last year and put in a two ton mini split. This weekend I washed my motorcycle in a 75 degree garage while it was 102 outside here in Houston.
Yup. I'm in a dead silent garage right now with a cup a coffee and all what I hear is ringing. I definitely paid the price. I need a fan or some other white noise on to fall asleep. Protect those ears!
I’m surprised you didn’t do the poly trans mount as well. Cant wait to see how it runs with the 80e. Would be nice to see some dyno pulls to see how the RWHP compares to the 60e RWHP numbers.
That truck is sweet! Definitely built the way I like it as well with all factory parts. Can’t believe it’s been a year already I’ve been subscribed pretty much from the beginning and have watched this particular build from the day you picked it up , it’s been very cool LT can’t wait to see what the motor plans are for it
Love the COPO build so much more future potential, I think its about time you get a proper intro for the videos I'm sure it would be a fun process to make.
Wish I known there was a seal driver yesterday!!! Was doing the front output t-case seal on my LMM and it took me 5 hours and hot red sun-burned legs later to finally get it done. 10/10 won't recommend unless you're rebuilding the T-case!! Thats the end of my rant lol. COPO Truck is coming out awesome!! Might do a similar drivetrain setup on my 07 Avalanche, but stick with the 246 T-case with the 4l80. Also grabbed an 8.1 Vortec for my Mother and I's 71 Camaro Pro-street project. Can't wait to get that on the road too!!
Love your builds keep up the good work. Lot of people don't know that if the converter isn't spaced right it can and will wipe out the pump especially if it got too much clearance. Also when I put trannys in if they have 4 or more bolts I tightened them up 180 degrees apart from each other too pull the converter up square
I'll be curious to see what works for driveshafts, my 2WD truck only required a different yoke after the 80E swap. And I have heard that a stock 2500 front shaft works for 4WD. Also, love the DTR stuff. I have his transmission mount in my 2001 2WD truck, his design is superior to others IMO - gave me tons of room when routing the exhaust system.
I use to use a 4.5 for everything. Alway had 4 handy, skinny disc, hard disc, flap and wire. The last use years i hand myself like the fit and finish of a file and a deburing tool.
Pro tip: get a diamond cutoff wheel. They're like $25, they'll last you at least a year, they don't throw that nasty dust into the air, and they're not prone to exploding.
Lawrence LT Tolman - You must have really liked the red 88 k1500 that was build on trucks tv show. it seems to be almost exact copy to your orange peel COPO truck. I like them both. I had an 95 GMC JIMMY that was AWD and I think the next truck is going to be an AWD truck. I already have a 4l80e from a van, rebuild and convert to 4WD. I do have to say I like both of these trucks, the red 88k1500 from trucks and your copo truck. I learned alot from you and Ian over the years growing up watching on the weekends. Great Job. Keep It Up. Thank you for showing what can be done.
I wear hearing protection all of the time. I have tinnitus (ringing) in both ears from when I was young and dumb. Don't let anyone shame you into going without. It's not their hearing that's on the line. Sane goes for safety glasses. You only have 2 eyes. Instead of sunglasses, I wear safety glasses nearly any time I walk out the door at home. If they're not on my eyes, they're on top of my head. I've always got them handy.
My knee-jerk thought was to run an NP205 instead of that split-case aluminum chain driven t-case. The weight & drag might cause more problems than it solves but I come at transfer cases with an off-road mindset… I like what you’re doing though.
I’m 54 and I used to work on the floor replacing transmissions and doing engines. Now I’m in daily constant pain and see a neurologist every month that I live. If you’ve got to sell something to buy yourself a lift do it. You won’t regret it when you are my age. Not preaching to you. Just hate for anyone to have to go through what I am.
I've been thinking about pulling the sheetrock out of ceiling in my garage and putting a pole lift in there it'll give me enough room to lift it up High Enough with a vaulted ceiling
You make it look so easy my son tried to do a transmission swap in a 2000 Tahoe and completely missed but he learned that mechanic work is not that easy and can be very frustrating
When you get a ford guy to watch GM dominant content, you know its good. Still think you should do a mild build on the Toyota and give it away and get you over your goal of 100k subs
I usually leave the dust shield off the torque converter if it's never going to be going offroad. In my brain it's just holding heat from the converter in. With it off the converter should be able to dissipate heat better and even get a cooling effect from air going under the truck.
if it was just a dust cover, I might be convinced to leave it off for hear reasons like you mentioned, but it also acts as a reinforcement between the transmission and the engine on an LS, so I wanted to leave it in place
You definitely need to do some 1/4 mile runs with nothing changed but the transmission to see how much slower it is. According to everyone on the internet, that 4l80e should be a ton slower than the 4l60e. It would be cool to prove or disprove how the seemingly much worse 1st gear ratio and the claim that it takes a lot more power to spin than a 4l60 affect acceleration.
I just did a 4l80 swap on my 02. i strongly dislike transmission swaps. The trans swap was a success i swapped in the 2500 radiator with a summit racing fan trans cooler. The 3 trans tunes i loaded seen really lazy shifting. It works good if i drive like a Grandma but getting in it, it takes way too long to shift.
I have both tinnitus and carpal tunnel syndrome on both sides and it is no fun at all. I waited too long to get the carpal release surgery in both wrists and because of that my gripping strength is gone. Better to look goofy or whatever than be an idiot like myself. I'm only 52 and need three more surgeries which includes the other hip replacement which is bad genetics with a life of hard work and harder play so take care of yourselves as it can be as quick as waking up in excruciating pain that only goes away with the help of a surgeon. My apologies for the book but this is a serious subject. Peace
I have a Pro Charged AWD Silverado SS. 402 stroker, water meth boost juice. The old “built tranny” 4l65 let go. My tranny shop Ultimate Transmission in Boise said since I’m not drag racing much the 4l65 billet everything/ triple disc TC was the way to go even though I really wanted the 4l80 swap to take it up a notch in badass. The tranny shop said the lighter tranny was much less weight to spin and it would be noticeably faster. So far so good. I have had it 3 months. It went 11.99 at Firebird raceway at 2700 ft on a 85 degree day so I’m happy. Not saying the 4l80 swap is a bad move just a data point to provide. Dave at Ultimate Transmission in. Boise is the guy to talk to for more info.
great info there! I thought about doing a built 4L60 on this one, but had heard so many hit-or-miss stories about some built 60e surviving, and some lasting forever.
place your bets on the 60 foot and 0-60 changes from the 80e swap. It has a taller first gear, but now a better converter... will they cancel each other out? or, do we lose a little bit off the line?
I think the 60 foot MAY change some, but the 0-60 stays close to the same. The converter will probably help the whole 1/4 plus with the triple disc you can lock it up at the big end if ypu need a few more rpm, instead of going to 4th
Using the first edition 4L80 make connecting the cooler lines less of a challenge. Oh by the way, the worst transmission ever was the TH200 installed in full size G.M. vehicles. The original application of the TH200 was for the Chevrolet (Isuzu) Luv truck. Small truck, light weight.
Read up on the specs of each, they arent far apart in torque, best to always build up any transmission when going beyond stock. 60 means up to 6000 gvwr, 80 is 8000 gvwr
I think I’m going to try those motor mounts. I just got my 408 dropped in my regular cab and my headers are making contact with the floor under hard acceleration. It sounds terrible! Maybe the stiffer mounts will fix it.
The 4L75-R is the strongest 4l60E based transmission by GM performance. Designed to handle the power of the GM 632ci big block crate engine. The 4l85E is stronger then the 4l80E.
Love this build I was so excited to see you use the 4.8 now I'm a little sorry you didn't use a 6.0 since I now know the power #s from the 4.8 do you think using the same parts on the 6.0 would have made much more power?
COPO Truck is one of the nicest builds I have seen on any automotive channel to date. Legit all around beautiful truck.

yup, great point worth touching on for sure. I showed the steps back when I rebuilt the trans, and the factory marks were about 3/4" too low
I cringed at 10:25 because I for some reason thought your finger was in the path of the jack going down 🤣

I'm goin to be doing the same soon. This helps !
That’s the great thing bout Gm.
This goes with that from a large year spread.
Ratchet n pull type straps are awesome for trans,transfers, or rear ends removal or installs… Especially when you work alone….
Use the bolts down thru the bracket and use flange nuts on the pan. That way you find have to take the bracket of just to change fluid and filler.
Awesome! I’m 4l80 np208 swapping my rig right now too

The COPO truck is such a great concept. Im enjoying keeping it up with it.. Well done, sir! Greeting from the farm in S.C>
I'd love to see a NNBS brake swap if it works with the 4wd/AWD knuckle, and it'd be great in the start stop challenge.
You can put the 2019+ Brakes on GMT800

Read up on the specs of each, they arent far apart in torque, best to always build up any transmission when going beyond stock.

Ouch! I hope that rib heals quickly, brother.
me too!
Wrenching on cars isn't fun when you're not injured. It's all part of the fun. Lol
4L85E I believe was the strongest 4 speed as the extra planetary gears and all associated gears were straight cut instead of helical cut gears.
fair point, but since its still basically a 4L80, I kind-of considered them one in the same.
Awesome job
LT: "You should wear hearing protection!"
My ears: "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....."

Please show what wiring changes need to be done when swapping from a 60 to a 80.

Love this build I was so excited to see you use the 4.8 now I'm a little sorry you didn't use a 6.0 since I now know the power #s from the 4.8 do you think using the same parts on the 6.0 would have made much more power?
Yes
More tq
If you ran the longer bolts for the shift linkage down and put the nuts on bottom wouldn’t that make it easier for trans maintenance in the future?
maybe, but I think I'd have to remove the shift bracket either way to drop the pan, so it wouldn't make a huge difference I think...
6.2 swap or 7.0 in the future?
