I like this guy. He doesn't edit out all of the struggles with accessing parts, and how to get around them.

The fact that this is un edited and he has this trans out in 30 mins is just mind blowing 😂

Unbelievable. This here is a true testament of a master craftsman. Reminds me of being in the shop with my dad, he didn't screw around either. You didn't get in his way... If you aren't making 80k plus then you're underpaid. I hope you own the shop. This here will take me 8 hours or more to do, even with your video, you did it in 30 mins. I can't get over how freaking efficient you are. My dad would have been impressed, and he rocked that flag hour like no one, with quality to boot. My hat is off to you, sir, and thank you for helping me and my kids to pull our trans!

I was not expecting Elvis to be showing me how to pull the transmission out of my truck GREAT VIDEO!

One hell of a transmission man. Never seen somebody work that smooth. Great video. Good job and Thanks

Nice job. It's clear that this gentleman has done more than a few of these. There was only one thing I needed to see and that's what happens when you unbolt the transfer case, now I see that I can just muscle it out and rotate it sideways to clear the cross members behind it. The reason why I already know the rest is because I did "take the cab off". Mine is a 2002 Avalanche 1500 4x4 and it is pretty much identical in terms of power train. I bought a new frame because the old one rusted away, and I did a frame off restoration. I pulled the entire power train in one piece from the bare chassis and reinstalled it the same way from above before rolling it back under the body. I put a top end rebuild in the engine and I thought the trans was good, but I turned out to be wrong driving the truck a couple months after getting it back on the road. Now I have to pull the trans from underneath the hard way. One thing though, when I had the whole engine/trans assembly out and it was time to separate the bell housing from the engine, that SOB was literally fused to the engine with corrosion between the iron of the block and the aluminum of the bell housing. I had to do some fierce hammering with some fine wedge tools all the way around, and it took a long time to get it to even look like I was making a gap. I was afraid I was going to break the bell housing. A normal pry bar was not going to do it. I had to use tools with a knife edge and hammer the crap out of them to the point where the tools were ruined just to make a gap. I'm telling you, I've had a few transmissions out of cars and trucks, and I had never seen anything like this. That thing was literally fused with corrosion. There is no way I would have been able to separate it from under the truck, it was literally a job where you'd have to take the cab off. When I bolted it back together I slathered the mating surfaces with anti seize. I use anti seize by the tub. Anything that doesn't get locking compound gets anti seize. Also I've found that those GM quick connect fittings for the cooler lines go in and out real easy, IF you have them dead straight. If there is any angle at all they won't budge, and that goes for pushing them in as well as pulling out. If they won't budge then you have to flex the line a little and change your angle of force. And those black plastic rings that retain the Jesus clips are also important, they keep the clip from working out sideways. I know I guy working as a tech at a dealership, last year he showed me a complete rebuild he was doing on a later model 10 speed, and he told me the root cause of the breakdown was the cooler line working loose on the highway.

Boy your good at that. No fooling around. Thank you

This guy is an absolute badass with a wrench!!! Couldn't have done it with out his tutorial!!!

Cool video. Thanks for taking the time to help us out. Especially appreciated how you made the whole thing flow with all the description, and pointers. Loved the comedy as well, take the cab off!!!!

I really enjoyed this video, you take pride in your work and showed how clips came off and little tricks. Thank you

I'd just like to tell you I've gotten great instructions from both your trans removal videos. Great job. I haven't seen any install videos yet. Excited to see them. Keep up the good job

Great Video! Made taking mine out a breeze! Thanks a million! 👍

By far the best for my 04 Tahoe thank you for this video

Gentleman and a scholar. Incredible work

I’m doing this tonight on my Hummer H2 can’t wait to get started thanks for the post and detailed info 🙏🏾👏🏾

Awesome video, no bs and great tips.

Very good video! Great camera work! Very helpful. You are awesome. I appreciate this video so much. My trans just dropped 3rd and 4th . I am furloughed til 7/21. I got more time than money.

Thanks for sharing, I'm pulling one in my yard, without all the right tools, that long extension is nice !

The way you turned the fly wheel was slick i always use socket on engin pully the way you went was slick never even thought of just turning it like that of corse you do this work all the time

I like that transmission jack!

That's one of the best videos , working on anything , that I've seen , and this is the first comment I've ever commented on.

Pulled mine this weekend this video was very helpful.. 👍👍

Nice vedio you made the top bellhousing bolts look easy thank you sir.

Wow, great video. I've been thinking about doing mine for awhile now. With your help, I feel like I can do it.

Thanks for the video btw it helped me get started. I wasnt sure what to take off first.

You are the man less then a hour

Excellent work on the trans and the video

Thanks bro did this whit my son never would of attempted whit out this video. ..my 3rd trans 😁👍

This is much needed information to pull mines out of my H2

Would've been only 20 minutes if that bolt was in the right way!👏👏👏 Let's also mention this guy seems like a trustworthy good ol' country boy!👑

I like watching this on 2x speed, its like watching a Marvel hero.

Love the unedited video!!! Right on!

Great help... everything out of way to drop transmission on my 2001... Just need to figure out how to get the cab off now.

Love his attitude most shop guys don’t like ppl

I got my truck on jack stands man and geez dude you made that look so easy

You the man!!! This is a visual TM

Holly God ! It's going take me two days to do what you did in 30 minutes .

I have an 07 Silverado headed to the shop Monday to have the trans replaced. Has 199663 miles on it. Hope the new one last another 200, 000.

I loved this thanks again

My kinda guy 😎... Work, straight to the point, watch me do it. 4x4 transmission out in less than 40 minutes. Definitely not this dude's first rodeo. I'd drink a beer with him.

Some advice for those watching on that cross member bolt hitting the exhaust. Use a prybar to put pressure on the bolt and use the impact to thread it the rest of the way out. Learned that trick pulling screws out of stripped wood.

wow your the man!!! thanks not sure now if i want to do it but if i do i will write back your awesome my friend

Golldman that was pretty got damn fast lol thanks for the share

damn good mechanic work

This guy has done just a few of these lol makes it look easy

Best video I've seen for the 4l60e removal, great job and thanks for keeping it short,sweet, and thorough!

Great work either way

Stop saying “if not were gonna take the cab off” your scaring the fuck out of me 😂😂😂 Good video

Thank you for sharing,👍👍

Man wish I would have learned something but u took that thing out to fast to learn anything lmao your good at what you do

Great job

Great video I hope u make more videos to the point and getting it done u go dude👍

I appreciate the video ima just let my mechanic handle it

Facts dude the truth I'm watching this video like yea buddy he about his paper

Nice video and speed

Some early 98-2000 models had torque converter bolts without the external hex and had to use a 10 mm Allen socket ...they were a mother f...er.. so tight and bolt heads had soft metal that would strip out when you tried to break one loose...I usually just air chiseled them off and put new ones in with the external hex.

Thank You!

I am signing up to be part of a GM Law suit over their Transmissions. My 2019 has had the 3X Flush Two weeks ago and is now back getting a new torque converter. Chevrolet/GM is aware of the problems, but keeps pushing these Transmissions out. Mary Bara needs her Corporate Million Dollar Bonus each year.

You make that look easy I’m taking one out my truck it’s hard

Thank you.

That guy is super fast

nice job

You should heat the PRNDL switch plugs before removal in order to avoid breaking the connectors. @ 31 minutes. Everything else in this video is straightforward wrenching but damn that last tip was worth it

Thanks.

Thank you for using a decent camera.

Awesome been MecNec 38 yrs Farmer's My Name and never seen One Pulled So Fast But if ya Got the Tools ya Got it thks For Sharin lot of Great Points Ya Got my Vote I,m in Sub Ya Got this

Great video and method. I just wonder why he pulls the trigger on the air impact so many times.

damn good video

Great video. One thing I didn’t see you do or say to do is mark the drive shaft before removal. To put it back in the exact same spot.

Nice video, I can't believe how fast did you remove it

For that last cross member bolt, you take a suitably sized crescent wrench place it by the base of the bolt head and tap it out with a hammer.

Was it possible to have removed the last transfer case support mount bolt by tapping it out using a drift pin punch lightly tapping on it? It looked like it was clear enough of the exhaust ? Hard to tell from the video but from the perspective of watching the video it looked like it could have been knocked out without removing the exhaust from the manifolds ? Maybe it would have wedged the bolt? I would have attempted that first. Excellent video.

good job boys thx alot

the crossmember was more of a fight because the y pipe was an aftermarket replacement unit. looks like catco. Guarantee those bolts go back in facing the other way!

Must be nice to work in a world where stuff isn't rotten and bolts just come loose.

I have a 04 Tahoe 4.8L and I've lost reverse and OD. I have a buddy who has the motor and trans out of a 99 Silverado 1500 4×4. Can I put that trans in my Tahoe without any issues with everything matching up correctly? Any advice on this is greatly appreciated!

Now I know why good mechanics are hard to come by. Unbelievable watching this and what is involved.

What a weapon

My truck has gears only park makes. A whining noise when first started then goes away I’m just curious if its the trourq converter or the transmission itself

2 grand to have it done right. If someone quotes you 750 ..they are not replacing any bearings or bushings.

Took me 3 hours. 🤣 The two biggest issues - the factory exhaust crossover tube has to be finagled just right to come out. And no room for the starter to come out (removing the engine oil dip stick tube helps).

I would of had to edit a bunch of creative cuss words. 😆

Very helpful in the order of removal. But that DAMN BUZZER!!! Ugh... What the hell is that?

Those two vent hoses with the breather tips that are bolted to the top of the bell housing. One is for the transmission and the other for the transfer case? Thank you

You know you have “IT” when bolts fall in your pocket lol. It would have disappeared in to no man’s land for me, and cost me 2hrs to go to the hardware store and get one.

Great video, I connected new motor to transmission, when I was bring all the bolts closer to torque converter popped back, I heard a loud crack, I was able to rotate it, I think I may have damaged the TC, I guess the center FW and TC did not line up good

You do something enough times, it almost turns into a muscle memory

Around 11:30 the camera person whispers something, I think it's Throttle Position Sensor. Great tip and something I wouldn't have thought of. Does not marking the yoke position cause driveshaft balance problems? Probably not one a 4x4 since it's used infrequently. Appreciate the video and like others the fact that it's 'real' and unedited.

Good video. Thanks

And 15 minutes was spent on that one damn crossmember bolt!

Quick with it

You've probably done this a bazillion of times , that's was pretty fast

Idk if I missed it but did you have to support the engine or did it just rest on the crossmember?

For that bolt use a open end wrench and a hammer

You coming back bro???🔥🔥🔥🔥

good looking skidplate at front!

By chance, is the 4L80E with transfer case on a similar make/model the same as this? Also what length extension are you using for the bell housing bolts? Great video

Made that top bell housing bolt look way too easy.

Won't need to remove the exhaust if you don't got one😂

How long is that extension? What combination of extensions/universal joints did you use to get the top bolts so easily?
