  • The freshly rebuild 4l80e is now ready to go back into the turbo Silverado, and there are a few things I need to finish up before we go on our first test drive. First, it's important to check the clearances between the 4l80 torque converter and the 8.1 big block to make sure the torque converter is properly seated into the transmission pump, and second, we need to keep the trans fluid temps under control, which means a bigger transmission cooler. Today, we're installing a TruCool 40k transmission cooler behind the massive intercooler. I'm also eliminating the stock hardlines for the trans cooler, and bypassing the in-radiator trans cooler just to keep things simple. Replacing the hard lines will be some Earl's Stainless braided -6 AN hose.

    LT, another great video! Somewhat related, heat is the major shortcoming of the th700/60e variants. Companies sell all of the “horsepower” upgrades with stronger components but they are still very easy to overheat and destroy. Cooling, cooling, cooling. I also completely agree with standalone cooling for any cooling circuit in warmer climates as the most effective way to keep temps down.

    I kept the stock in-radiator trans cooler in line with the external cooler. I plan to change the configuration this winter to include a couple three way valves to allow me to change the setup depending on use and weather. I have a 90 Cherokee on 33s that I use for wheeling. It takes a long time for the trans to warm up to 150 degrees during normal driving. In the winter it barely cracks 125 degrees. While wheeling hard it hits 180 degrees and hangs there until the jeep starts to overheat (it's normal on the XJs to get warm during heavy use).
    My plan is to use the in-radiator cooler and bypass the external cooler for normal driving. For wheeling I will use the external cooler and bypass the in-radiator cooler.

    LT I highly recommend a T-Stat on any rig running in a places with wide Temp swings. I run a Improved Racing High-Flow Engine and Transmission Oil Cooler Thermostat, as it has Female -10 O-ring ports and you can set temp of operation from 145*F to 215*F. Uses the bypass method of metering so if the bypass port fails/clogs oil always goes to cooler (never leaving you with no flow or cooler).
    I have a built 2010 double cab 4x4 5.7l Tundra, and Toyota is STUPID with their trans temps and cooler setup. I had the truck about 3 weeks and took it to the track to set base lines and boy was I in for a rude awaking. After the first pull in the 1/4 I looked at the logs and see torque converter temps in the 220, did my second pass and they got up to 230. I did the last pass at 245 in the torque converter and said that wont do. The pan was at 230, took almost 2.5 hours on the 4 hour drive home to get the heat out of the trans and back down to normal "safe levels" around 180 at highway speeds in the pan torque converter was around 197'ish. Come to find out the T-stat on the MAX tow package spec Tundras doesn't even open till 210 and become fully open till 250. The idiot light is set for 320 IN THE PAN. So from cold to 210 the engine coolant is the only thing cool the trans fluids and that's at 190-195ish on a OEM T-stat (the T-Delta is around 5*F). Then on a 2010 and up they made the Trans cooler part of the condenser coil, and shoved it all the way up on top putting about half of it blocked from direct air flow by the upper core support.
    So I got this exact unit and the T-stat from Improved Racing set at 145*F, as I live on the South Texas Coast and we see some nice 105*F days with 90% humidity. The worst I have seen is 190*F in the torque convert with 12k lbs behind me pulling over the harbor bridge. Normal is around 150-155*F which is right were I like my trans temps. Running below 130*F is bad as it's much hard on the pump as the fluid is very thick, this means it's much more work to pump it around and can hurt the vanes in the pump.
    Love the build!!
    P.S. I also got rid of the engine coolant circuit to trans cooler circuit as it's more heat into the cooling system for the trans and the trans is a pretty good heat pump all on its own haha.

I have the lines run thru the radiator first then to the cooler and it used to run consistently about 200 degrees or so and now it barely passes 150 degrees !!!! That's even on the hottest summer days in the Northeast sitting in traffic with the AC cranked and monitored thru a factory gauge in a Escalade cluster in place of my Chevy one.

      I run the trucool 40k on both mine and my wife's cherokees with the aw4 and it brings the Temps way down. My aw4 has a fresh rebuild and I did the transgo reprogramming kit. It shifts super nice, I was pretty conservative with drilling the hole sizes the instructions will have different options you can do, definitely get the transgo 340-hd2 kit it's well worth it.
      It's hard to find someone to rebuild an aw4 properly. They last a very long time so not a lot of people are familiar with them. If you keep clean fluid and the temperatures down the aw4 lasts a long time and takes a beating only failure I've ever had was the torque converter sent shrapnel through the tranny. They run hot as hell in stock form even if you have the optional factory auxiliary cooler. Stick with all oem sensors and solenoids your used oem ones will be better than new aftermarket you can bench test everything.

      @@JohnSmith-ot9sc I have a friend who owns a local transmission shop and he helped me do the rebuild he did most of the work. It really is quite easy to install the transgo reprogramming kit if your in there I'd do it. Like I said I went on the conservative side of things and it shifts nice and firm but is very pleasant to drive. I've ridden in a cherokee that had the reprogramming kit but he drilled to the hotrod specs and then some and it shifted extremely firm, the tires would chirp.
      If you can't find a competint builder I think your best bet is to go used if you need a transmission and don't want to tackle it yourself. It takes skill to properly rebuild an aw4 I've heard horror stories from my friend about people having a shop rebuild the same transmission 2 or 3 times before they bring it to him. They are so durable that if you get a good one and take care of it they last forever. Mine looked great after 280k in fact it looked incredible the only problem was the bushings were trashed from the bad torque converter. My wife's has well over 300k and works flawlessly I replaced her torque converter around 275k. Japanese transmissions can last a very long time it's a Toyota transmission, asin-warner. In a Toyota it's called the a340 I believe and it was used in the Toyota supra and I believe some trucks.

    I'm running the same cooler on my 01 Yukon XL 2500, 6.0L with the 4L80E. Mine is set up just like shown here, except I used the kits from Glenns Auto Performance to make this an almost 100% bolt-in effort. This was a total "while you're in there" that got a little overboard while I was replacing both the radiator and a cooler line due to minor leaks. The truck isn't used to haul anything appreciable and is mostly my DD and kid hauler.
    With this setup, per the gauge I can only ever barely reach 150F, and that's only after a lot of stop n go on a hot day. Before, stock, it would hover closer to 200F.
    The one downside that I've personally experienced is that, on a really cold day (30s, but that's damn near emergency conditions in San Diego), the truck struggled to lock the TC on the freeway. Internet says TC won't lock up until fluid temp reaches 70ish(?), so maybe bypassing the radiator isn't the greatest thing if you live in colder climates.
    Otherwise, this setup has been awesome for me. Good to know that, if I ever do really put the truck to work, trans temps won't be an issue.

    Just curious why you did not go with a deeper transmission pan? Is the truck too low? Budget? Or are you planning to in the future? It just seems after all that, maybe an aftermarket transmission pan would make sense. Love the videos by the way. Keep up the awesome work!

    Ah heck, I just installed this same cooler on my 2001 Tahoe. I built up a LQ9 and 4L60E. From what I understand ideal temp for Dextron VI is 175F and the 4L60E is designed to operate around that temperature. I'm now getting 40F above ambient with the trucool cooler. I was seeing trans temps of 80F which seems like that's not warm enough... What temps are you seeing? I ordered the thermostat, but haven't installed it yet. I never really thought much about it getting plugged and burning up the trans.

    Nice job
    But i disagree with bypassing the radiator cooler why ? Very simple GM transmissions runs really hot like HOT by going through the radiator first what you are doing is helping the transmission fluid reduce the temperature and when that fluid goes through the external cooler then that cooler finish the process it's like the M62tu bmw V8 engine the alternator cools down because it's seating inside a housing and coolant it's cooling that alternator
    But that's my opinion that doesn't have to do anything with me telling you the you did a good job there Congratulations

  • @daveh7587
    @daveh7587 2 года назад +2

    You should mount the cooler with the fittings at the top. It forces the fluid to fill all the passages in the cooler before exiting back to the trans instead of being able to cross over through the bottom passages and going back to the trans. The cooler will be more efficient that way.

    • @LawrenceTolman
      @LawrenceTolman  2 года назад +3

      that's a good point, but just about every stock cooler I've seen are mounted with the fittings pointed down. I know there are mixed opinions on this

    I bypassed the in-radiator cooler. been through 107 degrees in phoenix and at cruise barely saw 150, been down to 40 degree weather and it barely creeps above 100. to do it properly youd want a thermostatic switch that bypasses the cooler when the oil is too cool. i have a 2800-3200 stall, stalls about 2900 in my truck
    also whynot buy the cross member from tyler scruggs!? he literally made all of our conversion pieces. they are unpainted but they come with pass through bolts

    • @0n374
      @0n374 2 года назад

      lol i skipped through the video then read some comments below. good move on leaving the regulator out. i had an 03 SSS awd which has the 4l65e, after the 9th warrantied rebuild in 1 and a half years and less than 12k miles i ordered a reman from gm parts direct and never had another problem. from my troubles i learned a good bit about transmissions. the regulators i found in the tru cool kits i wanna say opened between 170-180? My SSS with the 40k going through the radiator while towing just under 10k lbs. never got above 160 on a hot summer day in the 90s. without towing never above 125. it had a stock stall speed converter, although i had ordered a circle d towing unit 2800 stall but they were back ordered on materials to build them when i had purchased it and i needed my truck back on the road and got a refunded instead.
