Nathan W. Collier - 14 May 2005 07:12 GMT 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

azwiley1 - 15 May 2005 05:16 GMT 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.

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

azwiley1 - 17 May 2005 04:57 GMT Hey there G.
Have a question for you, with a 4R80E fit (directly) into my 99 NBS Silverado which currently has the 4R60E?
Tom Lawrence - 17 May 2005 05:41 GMT > 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 :)
azwiley1 - 17 May 2005 06:14 GMT Damn, I will have to sue the Doc, the transfusion did not work successfully! Damn Quacks!!!
But it's ironic you knew what I meant, so I have to wonder Tom. LOL

if you mean 4L60E and 4L80E, that is...................

How much would be involved to swap them? Thinking about it so I have the bigger trans behind the motor when I rebuild it.

TranSurgeon - 18 May 2005 01:23 GMT 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

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.

LOL 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!

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.

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

azwiley1 - 20 May 2005 01:24 GMT 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

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..

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.
