How is it now? I just took my rig up to get rebuilt on this morning and I took a ZPak up there but was told they’ve pulled them out of some transmissions burnt up. Ofc I’ll still use it, I spent money on it. I took a vette servo up there as well
@@clarksgarageofbadhabits6803 I sold the truck over a year ago. I still talk with the old guy who bought it. He doesn’t tow, but truck & tranny still holding up strong..
No, we had no problems with it, we just only had about 1500 miles on it so I'm not sure that's a good gauge of how good they are. But so far, up to 1500 miles, they've been running perfectly
@@VeryGoodGarage ahh yup no worries. Just bought a zpak keen to try it out. Your video will be a great visual aid when it gets here. Cheers guys for the replys and the vid, 🍻 goodluck with the rebuild
Zpacks dont do well in l60 3-4 packs. Borg warner high energy clutches and full thickness steels. You can get 8 in the pack. Thin clutches and thin steels dont work. They cant handle the heat. Set your clearance at .026 to .032 and run an extra trans cooler in parallel with the heat exchanger in the radiator. Itll handle 550 hp
So I rebuilt the input drum in my 99 trans am 4l60e I used raybestos gpz100 (stock 6 disc setup with .106 steels) set my clearance to about .038 because what gm recomends seems way to big (.060 to .086) I know its way to big because I built a drum within gm recomendations and when I air tested the drum I had massive blow by in the 3/4 piston. Anyway im currently building a second 4l60e to replace my current "BUILT" 4l60e Lol so what you are saying is that the stock setup with upgraded full thickness frictions/steels and a tight clearance is just as good or better than the Zpak? Cuz I was debating weather I should throw one in or just copy my last setup but wanted to shoot for like .030 this time.
If you buy and install the zpack yourself, the pack is only $65 amzn.to/3ehWQVD, but you'll also likely be replacing your trans fluid so maybe another $50 for that at the minimum
I’ve had the Z-PAC installed for 3 years now. Put down 330rwtq at 3k rpm. I tow all the time. NO issues to date!!!

Can we get an update on the Z-pak? Is it still running fine or did the pack fuck out on you.
Uhh sadly I can't say, it ran great even with a shift kit added to it, but the engine for the burb is in the garage getting rebuilt again
@@VeryGoodGarage so when you say that, did you burn the zpak? Or was it just not very grippy.

Thanks for the input my customer tows a lot he's a landscaper I will take your advice my worry was heat capability with the Z-pack.

Hey how much does it cost to do this?
