Here’s Why Chevy Silverados are Crap
Scotty Kilmer:
rev up your engines
GM has a lawsuit against them now saying
that they were selling diesel pickup
trucks in the United States they
couldn't run correctly on American fuel
it turns out that a bunch of them had
Bosch German fuel pumps refined slightly
differently so people are saying that
it's wearing the fuel pumps out the fuel
pumps are throwing metal shavings into
the fuel injection system and destroying them
of course GM denies all this stuff I
mean they seem to deny everything they
denied that ignition switch thing where
they even changed the number of the
ignition switch replacement parts so
people wouldn't notice that the old ones
were designed wrong and then they got
sued and then they had to pay out a
bunch of money for that stuff that they
were doing and now they're claiming that
oh no that's not the case well I mean if
people are having problems what only
time is gonna tell us what happened I
think it's got the interest soon yeah
they couldn't even design their own fuel
pumps they're buying the German fuel
pumps and they didn't even probably
think before they put them in the vehicles,
jackie says Scotty what would be a
great first car for about two grand if
you want reliability get an old Corolla
or an old camry,
now for two grand its odds are it's
gonna be pretty old you don't get much
for two grand these day two grand today
is equivalent to when I was a kid to a
hundred dollar car and usually can't get
much for a $100 car, do the old trick
that I've always told people do you're
gonna pay that much money for a car get
one with a paint's peeling off they
don't have any value when the paint's
peeling off and then if you really care
go to one of those places like Earl
Scheib that'll paint a car when they're
gonna sale for 250 bucks or one that's
got bashed in founders it still works
good but when they look bad to go for a
lot less money, sing says
all wheel drive or front wheel drive or
rear wheel drive for a winter all-wheel
drive works better than waiting at all
the wheels driving but do you really
need that much as an example my mother's
92 she still lives in Agra Falls she
drives two Toyota Corolla front-wheel
drive car in the snow doesn't you put
snow tires on they plow the roads in
Niagara Falls and she never has any
problems now if you going skiing and
mountains and stuff all-wheel drive is
much better
front-wheel drive is pretty good and of
course rear-wheel drive is the worst for snow
you spin around it turns out that
vehicles are more controllable if you
pull them rather than push them so with
front-wheel drive you got better snow
control and rear-wheel drive because
you're pulling instead of pushing but if
you live where they plow the roads you
don't care one way or another most guys
are front-wheel drive these days anyways
clam dick said why shouldn't you use
full synthetic on an engine at state
semi synthetic 97 Ford Puma you could if
you would have from the very beginning
but my advice to people and I engineers
have argued this back and forth with me
but I don't care I've seen it happen you
have an engine that you've been using
regular oil or semi synthetic oil and
you switch to full synthetic oil and
it's been using the other oil for a long
time a lot of times they'll either start
burning or leaking oil because the full
synthetic oil flows better it's thinner
and a lot of times it'll leak or burn a
lot sometimes the engines start making
noises if you start it out with it you
generally don't have that problem but I
would just leave it alone today if you
want to buy a new car and put full
synthetic go right ahead but don't
switch after it's had a hundred thousand
miles of some other type of oil,
Jacob Roger says Scotty I got a 98
Chevy s10 with a locked up 4 cylinder
can it be unlocked if your engine's
locked up it means it has internal
problems and odds are you're gonna have
to take it all apart and rebuild it or
that old clunker try to find a used
engine from a junkyard and put in it if
you want to try you can get a long
extension bar in a socket put it on the
front crank pulley bolt try turn it back
and forth and back and forth and if you
can break it loose say take the spark
plugs out and put oil in them leave the
spark plugs out with oil in the holes if
you can break it loose maybe you can get
it running again who knows I've done
that some times in the past
Donald says how often should you change
brake fluid love your channel all your
information and tips I personally have
had Toyotas that had 250,000 miles on I
never changed the brake fluid and never
had to change anything but the brake
pads the cylinders didn't leak but on
the other hand if you got some piece of
junk like a Chrysler
I changed the fluid none have them every
four or five years they're not made that
well and they will absorb a lot a lot of
a prett have problem if you really want
to see if yours is any good there are
tests that we make
do we have little machines a test for
the percentage of water in them and the
percentage of copper because a lot of
times the copper from the lines will
infiltrate into it it won't work as well
so it can be tested if you got an honest
mechanic he can tested for you tell if
it's good or not
Rossler go says Scotty my 2010 corolla
tire spin when I hit a bump okay if you
get spinning tires half the time it's
just the tires are worn out or they're
crappy tires if you buy crappy tires if
the rubber isn't soft enough it's too
hard it will actually spin you hit a
bump and hits and it spins because it's
too hard and it slips you want to have
tires that are reasonably soft so they
grip if you're watching those car races
you might think tires in those car races
they're changing them every 110 miles
cuz they're so soft and they're going so
fast that they just erased themselves
going around a track at that speed and
at that temperature
you don't want tires that last 150 miles
but you don't want really hard ones to
skip check the tires first if it's not
the tires generally it's the shocks wearing
out and then they're bouncing and
slipping after you hit a bump, Jeremy
says what do you think of body kits well
if you wanna make your car look tougher
go ahead and bolt or not it doesn't you
know generally affect how they run or
anything problem I see with them I see a
lot of kids that put body kits on these
Honda Civics they put them way too low
and then the pieces get ripped off every
time to go over a speed bump or they hit
something and pieces come flying off,
do whatever you want it's your car I
personally think hey the way they're
made is good enough for me there are
transportation devices you know and
motorcycles generally my thing with them
is naked take everything off of them
except the motor and wheels so I don't want
anybody on them at all
so if you never want to miss another one

The Only Chevy Product I Recommend
Scotty Kilmer:
Rev up your engines,
mike says hey whats your take on the chevy
colorado inline 5, everybody knows I don't
like GM products, but that said I still have
customers with chevy colorados with the inline
5 and their running strong with 250,000 miles
on them, and they use them for their work
trucks, they just drive around in them all
the time, their not taking 15 tons of pipe
line here in Texas, they are actually a good
engine and they can be a decent vehicle, like
any gm vehicle their electronics stink so
your going to have problems with the electronics,
ac systems and stuff like that your going
to have to fix just cuz it's gm, but the engines
and transmission in those seem solid, I've
had customers with them that had pretty good
luck with them, so fool people I'm not always
saying everything they make is horrible, just
most of them,
sing says scotty what do you think about the
subaru brz, well they are fun cars to drive
around, if you want to get a zippy little
Japanese zoom around car you know they can
be good cars, they do like all subarus if
you push them too hard those boxer designs
they have a tendency of blowing head gaskets,
it's a type of vehicle that if you really
like it, either lease it or buy it new, because
if you buy a used one it's kind of like playing
with fire, you might get burnt, and it might
be like a stick of dyno, you lit the fuse
when you bought it and then you know a few
months later there goes the engine, so if
you like the way they drive and ride, either
lease one or get a new one, you might have
fun with it if you don't mind spending that
kind of money, just realize you got to spend
some money to get a decent one,
pepper white says hey scotty advice please,
I'm considering buying a used 3 series bmw
with a manual transmission, reliable or a
money pit, well it's more reliable than the
automatics theirs no arguing that, and they
do have extremely low resale value, if you
can get one cheap enough and you want something
for a weekend toy that you want to be like
"oh I'm riding around in my BMW" you know
you might think about doing that, but do not
ever buy one and think your going to put 20,000
miles a year and use it for an everyday driver,
cuz if you do I guarantee it will eventually
turn into an endless money pit, I got a customer
who's a doctor, he got one and even he got
sick of it and he made a lot of money, he
said I'm just sick of this thing breaking
and paying all this for fixing it, even he
gave up on the thing, so if it's a toy go
ahead, but everyday driver, meh,
marcus says I got a limp mode in my infinite
g37, when you get into a limp mode, that means
the computer has found a problem that is going
to destroy the catalytic converter or overheat
the engine, a serious problem, so it puts
the computer system into limp so you have
a limited amount of power to try and save
the catalytic converter and the engine, whatever
the system has a problem in, the first thing
you have to do, is get the vehicle scanned,
you get a bunch of codes, and you have to
have a mechanic like my analyse those codes,
and see ok is this a serious one, which code
do you fix first if theirs multiple codes,
and then you reset the codes and drive it
a little and see what happens, because a lot
of times they go down the line, if you get
one code that will trip another code and another
code and another code, and it might only be
one that's tripping the code so, you have
to start there, because there's something
somewhat serious is wrong, so have it scanned
soon to see what's going on,
j morris says hey scotty I got an 06 cadillac
sts with a northstar v8, it sounds like a
diesel when I accelerate could it be an exhaust
system issue, well let's pray that it is,
have it jacked up in the air and have somebody
rev it while your crawling around looking
and do it when it's cold so you can feel with
your hands too, and feel if there's exhaust
leaking and if it is great fix it, cuz if
it isn't the exhaust leaking and it sounds
like a diesel and making a lot of noise, it
means your engine is going out, and those
northstar engines are endless money pits,
I mean even something as simple, well not
simple anymore, but as a head gasket job on
those northstar racing design engines, it
can cost you $4-5,000 to do a head gasket
job on one of those, so you want to pray that
it's just an exhaust leak and not internal
engine problems, las vegas says scotty I have
a 2006 scion tc and sometimes it grinds in
3rd gear, is it a serious problem, when cars
only grind in one gear, that generally means
that they syncromesh in that gear is starting
to wear out, so what you can do is baby 3rd
gear, don't rev it up really high in 2nd gear
and then rip it into third gear, shift a little
bit earlier and take your time shifting it
to third gear, now if it does it once in a
while I mean just baby it and if your not
a race car guy, you can go from second and
go high rpms in second and then just skip
3rd and go from 2nd to 4th and then you won't
even be using it, cuz eventually if you do
drive it hard and it keeps making a noise
and grinding, eventually third gear would
break and then you'd have to rebuild the transmission
cuz if it broke and pieces fell out in the
tranny, that's the end of the transmission,
you can baby them though like I said and they
can last a long time,
so if you never want to miss another one of
my new car repair videos remember to ring
that bell!
Vortec 8100: Everything You Want to Know | Specs and More
Dust Runners Automotive Journal:
Back in 2001 GM wanted to offer an alternative to their popular Duramax engine
They needed something mean they needed something lean and they needed something powered by gasoline
What's up, guys, my name is Bryce with Dust Runners Automotive Journal and today
I'm gonna tell you everything you need to know about the Vortec 8100.
The idea of a gasoline alternative to a diesel engine is definitely not new and is definitely not exclusive to GM
Before diesel engines became so popular in light duty trucks
The 454 big-block was the normal for 2500 or 3500 truck. If you love GM trucks need something heavy-duty
But don't want to have to deal with finding diesel every time you need to go fill up, then Vortec 8100 is for you.
Although most people would rather have the Duramax engine there were enough people who wanted a gasoline
Alternative at the time that GM decided to make it happen
Basically, they took the crankcase of the old 454 big-block and gave it even more stroke
Officially the Vortech 8100 is not recognized as the gen7 big-block although it shares so many things with the Gen 6 big-block
That most people just consider it the gen 7
Even though GM does not what makes the Vortech 8100 more powerful than any big block before it, is mostly the displacement.
I mean, 496 cubic inches is a lot. It also has better cylinder heads and slightly improved electronics
The resulting output is 340 horsepower and 450 foot pounds of torque, which is pretty good considering the outgoing
454 had 290 horsepower and 410 foot-pounds of torque
There were variants of the Vortec 8100 that had upwards of 500 horsepower
But those were not used in the light duty trucks where the Vortec 8100 is most known for
This engine is available in GM 2500 and 3500 vehicles such as a Silverado, Sierra,
Yukon XL, Suburban, and Express. It's also available in Workhorse class a motor homes
Malibu boats
Mastercraft boats and
1898 combat armored vehicle you may have noticed on that list that there are no
Small cars and we'll explain why in just a second the weirdest thing about this engine is that when most people hear the word Vortec
They immediately think of the LS based
5.3 liter truck engine that pretty much everyone swaps into their cars the cool thing about the LS based
truck engine is that you can use other LS parts such as
ls1 heads for example
Unfortunately, there are a couple things that hold the Vortech 8100 back from ever being as popular as the ls based Vortec engines
as you could imagine putting an engine this heavy in a Corvette or Camaro would completely throw off the weight balance and make it really
hard to handle properly
Second thing holding this engine back from being popular is availability
Now the Chevy LS you can find it in pretty much any junkyard in the u.s
Vortec 8100 was not nearly as popular as the LS
So just finding one by itself is kind of hard to do and then what you do find one the price may be kind of
High because there's not a whole lot of them around this
Availability also transfers over to the aftermarket as the Vortech does not have a very good aftermarket
See, for the LS
There's pretty much anything you want from swap kits turbo kits superchargers cams heads
Pretty much anything you want aftermarket plus you can use other LS based parts such as putting
LS1 heads on a 5.3 truck engine
Unfortunately, the Vortech is not like this. So you can't just take a Vortech 8100 and put LS one heads on it
It doesn't work that way if you want better cylinder heads
You have to go aftermarket if you want a better camshaft
You have to go aftermarket if you want anything you pretty much have to go aftermarket
You can't just pick from the pile of GM performance parts out there
Those three things combined really hold the Vortech 8100 back from being popular in the enthusiast community
Although there are some hot rodders out there who really like this engine for the most part
Most people would rather just have an LS based truck engine when it comes to the aftermarket for the Vortec 8100
There is one really cool company that comes to mind and that's Raylar Engineering
What they do is they take an already giant
496 cubic inch engine and crank it up to either
511 or 540 cubic inches
They also offer camshafts cylinder heads superchargers and a couple other things for the 8100
There's stage 3 540 cubic inch kit for example takes that 340 horsepower
8100 and cranks it up to
680 horsepower
685 horsepower for a 540 cubic inch engine really isn't that much but the thing is with that stroker kit
It's going to make 680 foot-pounds of torque
Which is way more than an LS is going to make actually aspirated as we mentioned earlier
Vortech was supposed to be an alternative to the lb7 Duramax
Which was the Duramax that GM used at the time the 8100 did make more horsepower when it came out
But it didn't have the same amount of torque the Duramax made 70 foot-pounds of torque
More but it also made that torque at a lower rpm
so if you really if you were really into towing and hauling the Duramax was still the better option and that
torque gap grows even greater
Farther down the Duramax engine line you go that torque gap gets even larger and larger making the Vortech 8100 less and less attractive
To put this all simply the Vortech 8100 is a good engine
but it's not as good as the Duramax which
Ultimately kind of led to it being killed off with the six liter LS based truck engine to fill its shoes
Due to a heavy weight lack of availability and a small aftermarket. It's also not very popular in the hotrod community
Although there are there are a lot of guys who like this engine and it is gaining momentum
It'll never be as popular as the LS, but it is gaining momentum right now
So there you have it. That's the quick and short story of a Vortech 8100

Spotlight - 2002 Chevy Avalanche, 6" Lift, 20x9 -12's, and 35's
Custom Offsets:
- Surprise surprise, I am
not Shawn with Custom Offsets.
I am Fuller with Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on YouTube.
We got another vehicle spotlight for you.
I didn't think I'd be back doing these
but we have a 2002 Chevy
Avalanche on some 20x9's.
Let's check it out.
♫ Big trucks, decked out
♫ Rollin through the
woods and they flexed out
♫ Rims so big and the windows black
♫ Got the light bar lit up
double chromed out stacks
♫ Yeah we love to get em
dirty but still they so clean
♫ Custom Offsets, Team Stance is the team
♫ We on top of it now,
we ain't ever gonna fade
♫ So you better be ready
we taking over the game
(engine revving)
- Alright guys, like I
said 2002 Chevy Avalanche.
This is z71 4x4 so we'll go
ahead and take a look here
at what he's got for wheels and tires.
This truck's got lot stuff done
so I got my cheat sheet here.
These are the XD 779
Badlands and this is a 20
so it's 20 inches tall by 9 wide.
And this is a negative 12 offset
so for being a 9 wide, I do have to say
this is a pretty impressive lip on here.
We'll do our bill test for you.
Max can get in here and
kind of show you that.
I mean that's got, you know, what?
Three and a half, four
inches of lip on there
which is pretty good for a 9 wide.
Again, that's a negative 12.
These XD's too have the center cap
that doesn't cover the lugs
so you can run the spike lug nuts
like he's got on here which is pretty cool
and it goes well with the black
and then the machine face
on there looks pretty nice.
For tires, he's running these
Hercules Trail Digger MT's.
Now, we haven't seen a ton of these.
These are a 35x12 1/2.
So you're going to see it's
a little bit of side bulge
because this is only a 9 wide
and a 12 1/2 in wide tire
so you get plenty of protection, you know,
from curbs or rocks if you're
taking this thing off road.
As far as fitting these on here,
this is a six inch Superlift
and this has the dual shock
upgrades in the front here.
And with this lift, the CV axles
and the uppers and lower control arms
are actually pretty flat.
Max, you can take look in the front here
and just show it from the bottom.
Pretty flat so your angles are
really nice with this lift.
He also has a three inch body lift on here
so that's how he's getting the clearance.
As far as trimming goes,
the inner fender liners are cut here
as well as just the bottom
corner of the bumper
had to get in a little bit
of plastic trimming there.
In the back, looks like
just on these fender flares,
had to trim the back side here
and then that's how you
get your clearance there.
So you see, he's got the
pocket style fender flares.
These are 2015 mirrors so you
get the LED lights in them,
stuff like that, painted to match.
The plastic has all been painted as well
so on the Avalanches this comes black
and it tends to fade a lot
so he went and had these
professionally painted,
the bottom here as well as up here.
In the rear, as far as fitment goes,
fits all day, there's nothing
you have to worry about.
But also just the six inch Superlift,
like I said, and 3 inch body.
These are MagnaFlow tips on a
Flowmaster 40 Series Exhaust
sounds pretty nice.
He's got the backup camera,
he's got the LED brake lights
underneath the tailgate here.
Let's kind of keep walking around.
The tail lights, you see,
he's taped off the stock tail lights
and just painted them black here
to give that a cool effect.
Couple decals on the side.
Running up, you can
see he's got the steps,
make it a little easier to get in here.
Stripes up front,
as well as the push bar
and he has LEDs in the headlights too.
And there's a couple other small things
like the carbon fiber
wrap and the bow ties.
So that should about round it out.
That's all the basic stuff on here.
Like I said, 2002 Chevy Avalanche
with some 20x9's and 35x12 1/2's.

10 millimeter socket ratchet and a panel popper.
Check out our Spyder projector 's change the
look of your Suburban. Start by opening the
hood. Remove the 6-10 millimeter bolts securing
the fascia along the radiator support. Now
we'll move down to the fender well. Take a
moment to apply painter's tape or masking
tape to protect the paint while we're working.
Remove the three plastic retainers securing
the fender liner. Then remove the 2-7 millimeter
bolts securing the fender liner.
Stepping underneath the bumper, remove the
10 millimeter bolts securing the fascia on
each side. Now we can go ahead and unseat
the bumper fascia. Before we remove the fascia,
don't forget to disconnect the fog lamp harnesses
if equipped. Go ahead and remove the bumper
fascia and set it aside. With the fascia removed,
we can now access the 3-10 millimeter bolts
securing the headlight. Remove the two bolts
on top and the one bolt on the side. Now go
ahead and unseat the headlight for access.
Disconnect the headlight from the main wiring
harness.
We have to transfer a few things over before
we continue. Disconnect the low beam bulb
from the harness. Then disconnect the high
beam bulb from the harness. Remove the DRL
bulb socket. Never touch the bulbs with bare
hands. Remove the turn signal bulb socket.
Remove the sidemarker socket. Now we can remove
the wiring harness from the OEM headlight.
Transfer the harness over to the new Spyder
headlight. Connect the yellow and black OEM
low beam harness to the blue and black Spyder
low beam lead. Connect the blue and black
high beam harness to the red and black high
beam lead.
Go ahead and re-install the DRL bulb socket.
Be sure to replace the gasket if it's worn.
Re-install the turn signal socket. Again,
never touch the bulbs with bare hands. Re-install
the sidemarker socket. Your beam adjuster
locations are marked here. All adjusters are
eight millimeter. For information on how to
wire the HALOs and more, check out the FAQs
playlist on the Spyder Auto YouTube channel.
Now it's time to re-install the headlight.
Reconnect the headlight harness to the main
wiring harness. Then seat the Spyder headlight
. Re-install the 3-10 millimeter bulbs securing
the headlight to the body. Before we can re-install
the fascia, be sure to reconnect the fog lamp
harnesses if equipped. Then go ahead and seat
the bumper fascia. Re-install the 6-10 millimeter
bolts securing the upper fascia. Next, replace
the fender liner. Then re-install the three
plastic retainers that secure the liner. And
then re-install the 2-7 millimeter bolts.
Now we'll step underneath the bumper to re-install
the 10 millimeter bolt securing the fascia
on each side from below. Then just close the
hood, and you're done.

Scott shows the 2013 Chevrolet Black Diamond Avalanche for Pat
Handy Chevrolet:
Hi Pat Scott Colan from Handy Chevrolet. I
want to thank you for calling in yesterday
regarding the 2013 Avalanche I thought I'd
do this video for you and do a little bit
of a walk around because I know you are a
bit far away so I want you to get a close
look at some of the features of this commemorative
edition black diamond edition of the avalanche.
Now this avalanche has 20 inch polished aluminum
wheel all the way around the six inch oval
tubular assist steps to get you in and out
and these have the power adjustable mirrors.
Power folding. As well as being heated so
in the winter it really will defrost really
well. Now this is a Black Diamond Avalanche
Commemorative edition so its its final year
of production. This Avalanche like all the
Avalanches has the Tri-fold Toneau cover.
Lift that up and you can fold that back or
take it completely off making plenty of room
for you. Now the interior you have the ebony
high back seats. Bucket seats for passenger
and the driver seat as well as heated and
if you notice they are also power and if you
come down below the pedals are adjustable
so many ways to fit into this avalanche. So
on your door you have the controls for your
heated seats your control for the 4 wheel
drive is on the dash itself I don't know if
the camera can pan that far over. The cruise
control you have Bluetooth built right into
your steering wheel as well as controls for
your stereo system which by the way is a Bose
premium stereo system as you come on down
here you have your CD AM FM stereo that also
comes with Sirius XM radio you also have climate
control and and your passenger can control
their own temperature of course you have to
be in the right mode for that. There we go.
Now your passenger can be warmer than you
if so be. So Pat I wanted to thank you for
stopping by on this YouTube video I hope it
was informative I'll be in contact with you
and we will get this ball rolling if you do
have any questions once again my number is
802-528-2124 or shoot me an email at scolan@handycars.com
and hopefully you are not in for the snow
that we are about to get tomorrow.

1A Auto Parts:
Common Problems With the 4L60E and 4L65E
Monster Transmission:
hey welcome to monster transmission
you're in Curts corner we'll go over some really
important items that normally plague the
4l60e with problems there's three
different areas of the transmission
they're very common to be bad on this
particular unit now this is a 4L60e 1
piece there's also a 4l60 two-piece and
a 65 and 70 which have the same
components and have the same issues so
first we're going to take this unit
apart to a diagnosis exactly what the
problem is so the first problem we look
at is the 1870 code for the TCC that's
in the valve body so we're gonna take
the pan off on the filter and get right
into the valve body so obviously we
remove the pan bolts or 16 pan bolts
they were thirteen millimeter head and
make sure you put these bolts in one
place because you will be using them to
put this unit back together
remove the pan pan gasket you need to
remove the filter then there's a ray of
bolts you do need to remove all these
bolts to get to the valve body itself so
you remove all the solenoid Clips do
that carefully if you're going to reuse
this harness
now there's ten millimeter bolts remove
the 10 millimeter bolts through all
three different length bolts taller ones
to go for the pressure manifold switch
which are three and then there's three
bolts that have a eight millimeter or
5/16 head you need remove those it's
also a tensioner here it on the valve
body you remove that then there are
check balls that's set in the valve body
you have to check the reprogramming kit
or when you rebuild to put the check
balls back in the correct position you
move the manual valve linkage to expose
the valve body
we're going to work in this area here
you remove this clip to work on this
valve train and there's two remedies for
this 1870 code one is so next sells a
kit a reaming toolkit where you actually
remount drill out the bore of the valve
body to oversize it because the bore the
valve body itself is worn out is leaking
oil pressure which will cause the
three-four clutch pack to burn off so
once you bore it to a larger size this
sonís will give you an oversize valve
and sleeve which will fit in that bore
and eliminate that problem also in some
of the premium kits you'll come with a
enhanced spring this spring will
actually go in and block this valve
which will also cure the problem because
the valve will not move therefore will
not leak the oil and cause the 1870 slip
code so there's two remedies for fixing
that problem to cure the 3/4 valve train
okay so you're going to remove this
valve remove the clip and the plug and
slide the valve out and the spring and
you're going to replace this spring with
the updated spring and simply reinstall
okay if we redress this problem with the
TCC code now we're going to go further
into unit to see what else we'll call to
3/4 to burn up so we're gonna go and
we're gonna check the piston the four
piston in the forward drum before you
can remove will remove the pump you must
remove the TCC solenoid it has two 10mm
Boult camera then removed the seven
thirteen millimeter head pump bolts if
you don't have a pump puller which
mounts on the side of the casting and
lifts the pump off you can gently pry
between the forward drum or the director
arm and the actual pump housing itself
slice the top off and before you can
remove the drums you must release the
tension of the band here's the band this
is the forward drum so we have to
disassemble the forward drum to check
out the clutch packs what's the problem
remove the snap ring you got the burnt
three four clutches so now we need to
remove the next snap ring to take off
the forward clutch pack and pull the
Spragg assembly out this will expose the
center part here with a sprig spring
assembly you must remove the spring
assembly to take two Pistons out the
molded pistons to remove the snap ring
spring assembly this is all the pistons
and the early units that had aluminum
pistons of rubber seals the later units
had molded Pistons with just means it's
molded into the piston itself and this
is our culprit which is the the forward
piston the seal the outside the inside
seal can get very hard even when the
vehicle warms up these seals instead of
sealing the oil will leak past this
piston and cause the clutch pack not
to apply fully so it's basically like
riding a clutch on a stick shift it'll
burn the clutches right out which is
what happened to this unit this piston
is hard and it has to be replaced so you
replace it with a new piston and new
clutch pack and that will fix the
problem in this unit as far as 3/4 the
other common problem that happens in the
460 E is the Sun shell the sun shell is
notorious for breaking in there anywhere
from a 700
it 4L60/65 they all have the same
type of son shout so we're gonna take
the unit further down to inspect the son
shell now there is a snap ring in the
center here riding on the shaft itself
you must remove that snap ring so we can
pull out the planetaries on that
shell because you remove that snap ring
in the center and then you can pull the
planetary system out there's a snap ring
and this is the front planetary assembly
and it'll expose the sun shell and you
can see by this one what happened is
exactly that the sun shell is completely
sheared off so this was basically going
down the road and suddenly lost all
forward gears and that's because this
sun shell the factory son shell broke
off right here and the other half of the
gear is in the rear planetary the other
half of the year stuck on this drive
gear so and this is the son shell gear
rides on this side of the sun shell and
this rides in the rear planetary so that
basically stripped off which is a very
common problem the other problem that
can occur if it doesn't break off
they're notorious for stripping off so
this gear has nothing there's no teeth
to hold on to that's another common
problem with a sun shell
so then aftermarket son shell heavy-duty
sun shell these teeth this housing is a
little thicker the teeth are hardened
say they won't strip this also has a
full reinforced weld bead all the way
around not to strip off like this one
did there's a much enhanced son shell
that we put on our units to prevent
exactly this problem so if you're going
down the road and you lost all forward
gears and the engine is revving up into
the most common problem with fall sixty
is this sun shell will break off if you
have an 1870 check engine light then the
problem is used to the TCC valve if you
lost three for most like you have a hard
piston the vehicle has a lot of mileage
on it and this piston become hard and
lease the oil which burnt the clutch is
up so that pretty much diagnoses the
most common problems with a 4l60e/65e
