Pre-2004 GENIII LS Engine Tip: Timing Chain Dampener
By Project FDPre-2004 Gen III LS guys: It seems there is alot of bad info out there regarding compatible dampeners for predrilled LS1/LS6/5.3 blocks. Prior to the 2004 repop block revisions the center to center holes for the dampener were 2.1". The proper dampener is GM 88958607 but has been discontinued for awhile. NOS is hard to come by and most places that show it in stock will cancel the order due to availability. Unfortunately there is alot of info out there saying that if you have a drilled block the LS2...
Minisode: 4L60E/700R4 2nd Gear Slip/2-3 Shift Flare & Slip
By Project FDNot one, but two separate transmissions with the SAME problem. The internet will say that it's not the flare problem, but I say otherwise. Backstory: Two separate 4L60E transmissions with 2nd gear slipping (full range of throttle) and 2-3 gear shift flares (slips). Every level of diagnostics was done until the shift servos were removed to reveal major wear on the 2-3 servo collar. Your experiences may vary.
