oddly enough you asked me about chief joseph highway and two days later i
got a call to repair an ice machine down in cooke city mt (beartooth pass is
closed due to snow, so the next best route is chief joseph highway).  i took
pictures and video of the trip down chief joseph highway, and you can see
them at http://7slotgrille.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=776

Last day in the Army was 30 March.  Spent the last year plus as a net admin
and something I have always been into. HD is treating me well, so far.
Waiting until Sept, so I can reapply for my clearance, then there a lot of
places chomping at the bit to hire me as a net admin.  Have to have that
clearance though.

hey Nate

the first time we 'did the Beartooth' was in 98 in the old 84 B-350

the 360 was gasping pretty hard at the top

the next year we did it in the 93 GrandAm w. the Quad4

MUCH more fun

we did the Chief Joseph from S to N

don't know how it is N to S, looks like it would be a bit more dramatic

also in 2000, did  Monarch Pass near Salida CO in our old 86 Ranger, first
year for FI on the 2.9, won't adapt more than about 6000 ft

last March we did a quick one-week-er to the Big Horn Basin and back, the 91
Die-Nasty didn't miss a beat in 4k in 7 days

the 3.3 /A604 is a winning combo

Hey there G.

Have a question for you, with a 4R80E fit (directly) into my 99 NBS
Silverado which currently has the 4R60E?

You've still got a couple of Mopar chromosomes mixed in your DNA there...
it's a 4L60E and 4L80E in the Chebbies...  46RE and 48RE (47RE, too) in the
real trucks  :)

Damn Quacks!!!

But it's ironic you knew what I meant, so I have to wonder Tom.  LOL

That's what I meant, yes.  How much would be involved to swap them?
Thinking about it so I have the bigger trans behind the motor when I rebuild
it.

I had a young fellow in here two years ago that was doing a 'complete engine
and transmission from a 98 (with an 80E) into a 94 (which had a 60E)' type
of swap

he swapped wiring harnesses and all, but later had to go back to the 60E
when the 80 crapped

there was some kind of problem with re-wiring the transmission connector, he
cut the 60E end off his old harness and spliced it wire-for-wire, but came
to me when it wouldn't shift right, and I figured out the right wires to
swap

in other words, the comp will drive both units, but the wiring is different

if you could find a wiring harness and comp from a truck that is identical
in all other respects....cruise, 4WD, etc, it would be a snap

Piston-slapped itself to death, would be my guess  :)
azwiley1 - 19 May 2005 02:10 GMT
Only if it were a Ram.  LOL

Like I said, 151k on it and I don't even burn oil.

Is that because it all leaks out before it gets the chance to burn it :-)

Aw, come on, Larry...  if it were a Ram, it would suck all the oil in
through plenum gasket, and ping itself to death....  a subtle, but
important, difference  :)

> Like I said, 151k on it and I don't even burn oil.

46K, and I burn about 20 gallons a week  :)
azwiley1 - 19 May 2005 02:53 GMT
Hmmm, no ping, no knock, no lost power, it doesn't burn, leak or swallow
oil.  Have not done anything other then routine maintenance and some
performance/power mods with 151k on it.

DAMN!!! I should have kept the Ram!

Age man, you know the item that is affecting you and many others in the
group.  ;^)

It has almost 151k on it now and when I "play" with the motor the way I
want, it is all getting taken care of.

yup.. I'm almost "aged to perfection" and will probably still be pulling the
trailer with our 99 ram when your NEXT chevy needs rebuilding..

Wait a minute there "pops" you need to read my postings again, I NEVER said
it NEEDED rebuilding, I said (indicated) that I was going to beef up the
tranny when I start my rework, performance improvements to the engine.

I think you need to get your eyes checked.  LOL

actually, you said that it didn't need it YET, dude... that would imply that it
will eventually, and since I'm too mean to die, I'll outlive it..
BTW: don't worry about cold weather piston slap in GM engines...
it's just the pistons bitch-slapping the cylinder sleeves, trying to wake them
up..

One of my favorite roads, next to the Beartooth Highway.  And it's all
in our backyard when we retire (we've got some land near Cody, WY).

You don't happen to work for Montana Dodge (or did it change names)?  I
picked my truck up from there back in 2001; purchased through a special
website for overseas military returning to the US.

Liked the video. I've been over that pass several times but always in
July/August. Sure does look different with snow..
