alright everyone, you guys know i bought a nice 2dr yukon a couple months back. i didnt really have time to start working on it till this month. i dropped the transfer case, split it open and didnt see much wrong except 2 broking circle clips.... didnt think that these were causing the grinding noise. so i pulled the oil pan off the transmission and found a couple chunks of metal(not sure if there teeth or what). anyways, there was all new oil in the tc and the transmission, so im only left guessing what it looked like before they replaced it. so now im thinking of getting a new transmission as well as a new transfer case to go with it. figured nothing else can really go wrong if i put both in(knock on wood).
anyways, i was wondering about a 4l80e swap into my truck and if it was possible. i dont want to just throw a stock 4l60e back in with its aluminum gears just to have to go through this whole process again. i have long-tube headers, whipple supercharger running 6 psi, so its more stress on the tranny than there normally is. is this an easy swap, the reason i ask is because the 4l80e's need less upgrades to make them bulletproof because of the steel gears they come stock with. is this just a bolt on swap because im pretty sure the diesel tahoes come with the 4l80e. thanks for your patience please help me out asap, would like to get this done by the 29th.
