I've pulled my transmission several times and am about to do it again for a rebuild. It always takes longer. I don't have a lift so I am stuck doing it on the ground which adds a lot of getting up and down off the ground. The standing up and laying down is the worst part of having to do it. I like the order you did the removal, so I will likely incorporate that into how I do it this weekend.
I rotate the engine in the direction it runs to prevent a water pump fails. You made it look easy and quick, i was watching to see what you did with big harness as it came down. I guess it stays with the fuel lines?
Cheverlot has swapped my trans twice. 2nd time it was under warranty. The first time it was 3 days after an oil change which had me puzzled. It was working fine until that oil change. Now… 3 weeks after that transmission swap. 3 bolts have broken and my engine makes a weird noise. 3500 dollars. I need a bicycle.
First, thank you. This is extremely helpful. Second, where do you find those slide in adapters for the transmission jack head that create those vertical standoffs for the oil pan bolt rail flange? I can't find them anywhere!
When you put a brand new transmission in a 2015 Silverado 1500, does the new transmission have to be programmed to the vehicle? I heard someone say it does, but idk for sure. Reason for asking, my trans is going out and I wanna know ahead of time. Thanks in advance!
Yes. The TCM is inside the Transmission and will need to be programmed to the truck. If you are doing the job yourself make sure you also flush the transmission cooler. The most common problem with these is the torque converter fails. It then puts a bunch of metal in the cooler.
@@mechanicgray brother since ure so helpful and respond quick, can u gimme a tip where the vent hose end goes the one that goes up into the engine? Im installing mine rn, one hose onto tranny tube, second end just hanging off the transfer case, but where does the 3rd end go? Turned all internet upside down cant find answer.
@@jamesethan3749 One hose from the transfer case to the bracket on the top bell housing bolt. Second hose goes from Trans vent to a plastic tee. Then one end goes up to said bracket the other end usually goes the a clip on the crossmember.
Thanks for watching. MORE DETAILED VIDEOS ON THE CHANNEL IF YOU MISSED SOMETHING

I agree. Doing this on the ground is twice as hard. Good luck. 👍
Starting a pull on a '17 for a friend today. I'm going to do what you did. Thanks much!
Hope it helps. If you have questions put them here and I will respond. 🤘
thank you bro this helps me remove my 6.2 that seized at the crank.

Damn that sucks. Don't think the oil change had to do with it. Sometimes stuff just happens at wired times.

Hey no problem. I'm not sure where we got them. I'll ask and let you know.
I like watching your video seems like I might be able to take mine out
Thanks 👍 Hope it helps
Ayyy farmers repair coming in clutch to aid in my install 🙌🏻 prolly be easier to have yall install my new one 😅
Perfect this is what im talking about great video!
Thank you for watching
16:55 great uncut video of the trans, thank you. Question do you need to learn/read the old trans and write to the new one on the 6L 80?
Yes. If you change the transmission it needs to be programmed.
Thank you so much for this video man
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
“Then I go get a buddy to help lower it down” 😂😂😂😂cuhmon buddy it’s like a 80 pound t case at most.
Im only 155. 80 is enough 😂😂😂
You can put a strap on it and over the torsion bar support and slowly let down by strap.
Do you have a video of reinstalling this 6L80 or similar transmission?
I do not sorry. Same process just reverse.
Yo Yo. Ive got a install video going live at 4pm. Thought I'd let you know. 🤘
Does the truck have to be left in neutral to spin the motor and remove convertor bolts?
No. I do put it in neutral though to be able to turn the drive shaft so its easier to take the bolts out.

Is it possible to replace the plug in on the transmission?
Yes. It's part of the valve body harness that is located in the pan.
2017 does it need to be programmed
It’s a manufactured transmission
Yes it will need to be programmed.
So I would need to take it to a dealership after the new manufacture transmission is installed
@@mechanicgray I would need to take it to a dealership after installing a new manufacturer transmission
@@dl1015 Or find a mobile programmer in your area. A nearby transmission shop should know someone. 👍
Was this a 5.3 or a 4.3 engine?
5.3L
I don’t like the way you lifted the truck the arms facing the same way, did you do that on purpose or you never have a problem with the lift ?
Not sure what you mean
The lift arms facing same way
I’m doing a tranny in a 2020 4wd Silverado same set up as your video thanks for the video

Check out the video from a couple weeks ago. 2019 Silverado. It's the same and you can see the hoses.
