SHAFTED - 4L60E 4WD to 2WD Conversion - UTX
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- Today at Ugly Truck, we’re showing how easy it is to change a 2wd 4L60E to a 4wd, and vice versa. Tearing down a transmission seems complicated, but when it comes to a 2wd or 4x4 conversion, it's pretty simple! So if you end up with the wrong 4L60E for your swap, here's your solution!
There are a ton of 2wd and 4wd output shafts and housings on Ebay pretty cheap so finding parts shouldn't be an issue there. Here are some links to the other parts and tools we mentioned today:
--Snap Ring Pliers - Ours are Blue Point PR15, but here's a nice pair of Lisle pliers for a good price - amzn.to/3UzPxN0
--LubeGard Assemblee Goo - amzn.to/3yatULO
--Front Pump Gasket - GM Genuine amzn.to/3WwhGHB

I'm a little disappointed in Emily.... I've been looking on the Summit website searching part numbers 2X8, 2X10 and orange bucket, but need the link Emily! I always look forward to your videos. Your videos have helped me with my swap. Thank you. Keep the videos coming :)
🤣🤣 I'm so sorry, Jason! I'll do better next time! Send me an email with your address and I'll send you some stickers as a consolation. 😁 uglytruckexperience@gmail.com --Emily
Oh man, this is the video I been looking for !!!
We've teased it a few times, and it's finally here! 😁
Assym gloo works great but Vaseline have been used in assemblies for decades. It dissipates in any fluid and helps in assembly. Seal glide from Napa is a variant of Vaseline.
Mr Jerry ya"ll have helped me more than anyone could ever imagine. Thank u
Thanks Bobby. It's great to hear that our videos are helpful. We appreciate you watching and commenting. Jerry
Thanks for a great video. Been awhile since I’ve been in a 4l60e. Didn’t remember the output shaft like that. But I was rebuilding and reinstalling as is. Can’t wait for the 4l80e video 👍
Thanks Jason! The 4L80E video will be coming up soon!
You make it look easy thinking of Turning my 4 wheel drive to a 2 wheel drive
It's really not too hard to make the swap! And it looks like there are a ton of output shafts and tail housings on Ebay pretty cheap. If you give it a shot, let us know how it goes! Thanks for tuning in, Juan!
@@UglyTruckExperience I've done this a lot of times.I always check pump, band, and 3-4 clutches for wear. Update 2nd and 3-4 servos while I'm in there. Also update forward sprag, helps these transmissions a lot. Shift kit doesn't hurt anything either.
Always wondered about your missing ceiling. I can only imagine how much quieter it would be in there and warmer in the winter. BRRRRR! Knowledgeable as usual.👍
Thanks Dozer! It does get pretty chilly in the winter, but that's what Ol' Toasty our waste oil heater is for! 😁 We appreciate you tuning in!
Thank you finally someone made this video!! I haven’t even watched the full video yet, but I know you guys went into good details!!!
You know it! 😁 We're all about the details! Thanks for tuning in!!
I have been searching for a good tutorial on this. Thank you for sharing the knowledge.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in, Raymond!
Great video as usual!
I loved it and I’m glad Jerry got the tool for the snapping so we can keep it family friendly
Great job Emily, you must have great eyesight to have seen where that spring went lol 🤣👍💯
Thanks Jeff! Those snap ring pliers are a lifesaver! 😁 We appreciate you tuning in!
Another awesome video! Thanks guys!
Thanks Lou! We appreciate you tuning in! 👋😁
After watching this, I've got a whole lot better understanding of how a 4L60E is put together, particularly that 2-4 band dowel.
Every other disassembly video I've seen, the band comes out after the valve body comes off, and there are only a couple of assembly videos out there.
That said, any major transmission work, I'm paying someone to do it.
The valve body is a ton of work, so if you have the patience to fiddle with that dowel, you can save a lot of time and headache. This is probably the video transmission guys don't want you to see! 😆 Thanks for tuning in, Rick!
Wow that’s more work than I was thinking but it seems doable… I already purchased and 4L60 that’s 2wd but I may hang on to the donor 4wd since I watched this video and give it a shot . Thanks guys.
It's really not too bad, especially with Jerry's special tool! Only $144.95! 😆 Plus, I was looking at 2wd output shafts and tail housings on Ebay earlier, and they're pretty cheap... around $100 including the seals. If you give it a shot, let us know how it goes!
@@UglyTruckExperience sweet, i do like that tool btw . I thought it was clever. Oh and for that price does it come with the specialty bucket? I’ll definitely let y’all know how it works out for me or if I end up scrapping the whole thing lol.
Great video guys! If I had of known about swapping out the shaft from 4x4 to 2wd , I would have kept the donor transmission. It only had 48k miles on it.
Thanks Raul! That would have been a great candidate for this swap! Hope you guys are doing good! 👋
@@UglyTruckExperience All good in Texas! We're in cotton planting season right now and sure could use some of that rain down here lol! Stay safe my friends! Holler if you need anything from me.
Can t believe she found that spring 😂😂😂
I'm pretty handy to have around sometimes! 😁😁
You guys are gonna help my swap a lot thanks for all the info its great.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for tuning in, Austin!
Love the video, you guys are doing an awesome job, I would love to talk with you about LS swapping my 84 k10
Thanks David! I think you sent us an email... We're behind on messages, but will get back with you soon! We appreciate you tuning in! --Emily and Jerry
Have it spay foamed to insulate it and it sound deadens it too.
We'd love to, but that stuff is pricey! We have a 3rd section of the shop that needs to be finished, and we'll turn that into our 'studio'. 😁 Thanks for tuning in, Randy!
Wouldn't you also have to switch the hole plug at the tail section if swapping? The 2wd needs the one with the weep hole to allow fluid in the channel of the tail section back to the bushing and the 4wd has a solid plug.
Hello Rob. Not on a 4l60. On a 4l80, yes. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it. Jerry and Emily
Thanks for the video! If I use a 4x4 engine, ecu, fuse box and harness but use a regular 4L60E does the computer need different programming then normal to make the 4x4 stuff work with the 4L60E?
Hello Rod. It doesn't change anything with the computer. The only difference is getting the speed sensor signal from the transfer case is all. Jerry
In your case it should just be a matter of plugging it in on the 4l60e if your going to a 2wd. You shouldn't even have to mess with the wiring.
@@UglyTruckExperience Thanks. Will do
Do you have to install a Plug or remove aPlug in the back of the Transmission I Thought That also had to be done ?
Hello Ken. Not on a 4L60e. You do have to on the 4l80 and not sure about the 6, 8, or newer 10 speeds. Jerry
@@UglyTruckExperience Thank you for Answering my Question Thanks Again
So if a guy was ls swapping an old car or truck ,as long as he had a good assortment of tools and a clean bench it doesn't look all that difficult to replace a few worn parts. Maybe ill look for a donor.
It's not as hard as a lot of folks make it out to be, especially if you can avoid pulling the valve body. There are still some good deals on donors out there! Hope you find one! Thanks for tuning in, Brian!
Ok so I will ask ya"ll, if I need to put 1 in , could u show how to put 1 in with the older trucks ?? without a new harness.
Hey Bobby, I'm not sure what you're asking? Can you give us some more info? Thanks!
@@UglyTruckExperience just was asking if I needed to put it in a older vehicle, that don't have a l s swap involved.. like my truck for instance..
Well hello there
Hi Alonso!
wait! you two are a couple? i thought you were grandpa and grand daughter
Man I thought the same thing
ROFLMFAO!!!!!!
👋😁 Hi Hugh!
@@UglyTruckExperience HI Jerry and Emily!!!!!! HOW are you guys doing?????!!!!!!
All good here! How's your swap coming along?
@UglyTruckExperience That's awesome guys!!! I just got my block assembled. Got to order new valves for the heads. I'll be depinning the wiring harness I pulled out of a 09' Yukon for my swap. I just haven't decided whether to go with wire loom or the braided wire covering I keep seeing to finish wrapping it when I get done. Thank you for asking. I appreciate it.
@@UglyTruckExperience I passed 200 SUBS!!!! YAYAAAA!!!!!
If you don’t do anything wrong or suspect, I have a very hard time making my genius comments. Good job. I guess.
Sorry, Jon. We'll do worse next time. 🤣🤣
ok?
Ok so! 😁 Thanks for tuning in!
