4L80e kit GP ALL KITS ARE TAKEN!!!

[George Blake]

I'm gonna do a GP purchase of 10 on the installation kits.
I will no longer ship internationally.

This GP will run for 6 weeks. July 28 to September 7th or until 10 kits are sold.

Normal price $1573.25 for the complete changeover kit.
GP price $1320.00


Kits are in Kit form only!
Linkage bracket to use stock type shifter cable
Crossmember
Brace extensions
Now includes all bolts including special bolts with stainless washers for trans to engine mounting.
Syty output shaft with cryo
Short manual shift shaft
Lokar Flexible Dipstick firewall mount
Steel adaptor plate
6 bolts for adaptor plate
HD shifter cable kit that is slightly adjustable so you can line up your shift indicator better

This leaves nothing else to buy if you already have a 4L80e and just want to put it in.
This kit is no longer parted out. It must be purchased as a kit because these parts WILL work together and the shafts are numbered to the original purchaser now for tracking purposes.

Now if you want a propshaft and you purchase a kit:
Normal Price $413.00
GP price $380.00

You don't have to get a propshaft but if you do on this GP of the kit, I'll get you a prop for $380.

Master Card, Visa, Paypal, Cashier's checks accepted.
PM me your REAL name phone number and address you need the product shipped to. No pickups. Delivery only.

Mike Hardman has a disc of pics they took during their installation. I'll form this up with the pics I'm taking during my installation. If you follow the instructions there will be no problem on install.


I will figure shipping on a case by case basis. So when your order is ready, I will contact you for prices on shipping and we will settle shipping before I send the parts.

You don't have to have me build your trans to get the kit. You can have any shop put the kit into a 4L80e and it will fit into your syclone or typhoon.

Thanks everyone!!
George

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Just want to say i did this instal and It was not hard at all. I hope some of the problems I had will help others do the install. I was able to do it in my garage on 6 ton floor jacks by myself. The transmission I got from George is great. Truck feels so different and shifts smoth. I like the control over the transmission I now have. Sounds like a good way to same some money on a great mod.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

The problem Gary is talking about is the shaft for his kit and Frank's kit was 1/4" to 1/2" too long. Part of the solution was admitting that it happened, figuring out why it happened, and then fixing the issue. Which has been done. Frank from Autoaddictions was instrumental in finding out what happened. He was detailed enough when we talked that I was able to figure out over the phone what was going on. If you look at your kits, the shaft and adaptor plate will be marked with your invoice # and I keep that on file. I would recommend to anyone doing this, if you cannot afford the rest, get the kit, and a core to build. Hang on to them until you can better afford to do this. The market is realizing the potential of the 4L80e and it is making the value of the cores go up. The longer you wait, the more expensive the conversion will be due to core expense. Go to some of the guys like Rossler, Chuck at FLP, Level 10, California transmission(the real art carr), and see how much their cores are and you will see what I'm talking about.

If you want the kit and want me to build one for you, pay for the kit, I can keep it here so you don't have to pay shipping back and forth. It's up to you. I'm very flexible.

My conversion pics will be taken with the truck on jackstands. This is how 90% of the wrenchers out there will do it and will be the most beneficial.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Is there any chance on doing a GP on these parts as well?

Billet 3 disc lockup converter
Trans controller
Transbrake for the 4L80e

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Hey I asked you first why my TC was leaking after the install. At that time you Said I must have did something wrong.LOL. Thanks to Frank for Finding the problem for both of us.
I also mean the small hiccups as well. The 45% fittings on the trans, Checking the fuel lines for clearance, The longer trans brace bolt..... I see you fixed the little things that can make this install a weekend project and not a month long one by having to find parts. The shaft issue was not your fault but you spent the time to help me fix it and other problems that you did not have too.
Just wanted to say thank you and no one could go wrong from buying anything from Prime Gears.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Transbrake is a patented component. Very few are sold and even fewer needed with the line locks like Ed Hess is running.

Billet 3 disc converter. I'm a small vendor. You have to sell dozens and dozens of units to get any kind of break. I try to stay flexible and offer guys an array based on use. This makes me sell even less of each particular brand. Basically sacrificing money making ability for customer satisfaction if that makes sense. So no.

Trans controller. I sell those lower than Jeggs or Summit already...cheap bastard:lol: Actually, some guys like BS3, some like HGM, some like PCS, and some like TCI. Again, can't sell enough to make it a viable option to go any lower than what I've done. If you want to go to Jeggs, spend $30 more and have to come up with your own program, more power to you.

I can control the kit and the propshaft prices. Outside of that, I have NO control.
So. Kit and propshaft is all I'm offering.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

I thought you'd done something to the transfer case because you basically said you beat the snot out of it putting it in. The shaft you sent was a mystery shaft. Can't find out where it came from and I sent it as the model for the machining. Boy was that a mistake That is what changed my practice. If the components don't come from me, I won't install them because it looks bad on ME regardless of where the stuff actually came from.
Bolts were freaking guys out so I included bolts. Shifter cable, shifter cable hardware, dipstick, everything is now included. If something else is needed it's because you "want" it, not because you "need" it.
Fittings, I've not had two guys handle their cooling the same yet. Doesn't make sense to charge $40 more for a part in the kit that guys may not even use. I have to keep it practical. Some guys do prefabbed lines, some do their own hard lines, steel braided, etc.

I'm trying to make myself available as much as possible about questions and I'm honest. Internet makes the world small. I'm just a PM away. No one else to blame and no one else to dump it on. I'm it. I'll do everything I can.

Thanks George for replying to my question! I thought it would be worth asking?

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Oh. Just to put it into perspective. How many have done engine installs and not had to go order hardware to put it in? This is a HUGE upgrade. This is not a little turbo. This is heart of the truck. But I'm being expected to put EVERY little piece to make it fit a multitude of GM specs. I've taken the kit as far as I can. What I've found out on the long bolt for the bellhousing on the driver's side for example is that it varies as much as a 1/2" from truck to truck due to clearance issues of the floor. The FLOOR. A guy puts in solid engine mounts, moves the engine up a 1/2" and I'm the one that takes the heat for it. I can't do anything about that. So realize this is a CUSTOM modification. It's not a stereo. It's easier than an engine install but harder than anything else. It's well worth the effort when it's over though:tup:

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

I'm in for 1 kit but i won't be able to pay you till mid August? Is that alright?

 

[gjp]

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

you sound like you are defending youeself. I am saying you are doing a GREAT job and deserve some respect. I said I lifted the TC and set it on the crossmember and them lifted the front of the trans into place. I never said I beat it up. You said it would take a lot to damage the TC. At that point I was worried it was damage before the build. The shaft came from a member here and said it was JS kit.
You Rock George. You dont have to defend your actions to no one. I was commending you for your efforts. This by far is no easy swap but it can be done at home with basic hand tools and your help. I am 110% satisfied with Prime Gears, You and my bad ass 80E!!!!!!

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

I'm in for 1 kit but i won't be able to pay you till mid August? Is that alright?

I take credit cards and paypal. I can do partials too. For example, some on a cashier's check and some on a credit card. I can't make all the other participants wait for someone that "might" actually pay. It's happened too many times on here. Changes the way things have to be done. I won't make guys hang for MONTHS. Delivery will happen very quickly once all funds are in.
Again, I will do NO pickups. Delivery via a trackable shipper ONLY. I don't think anyone needs to ask why on that one.:rant:

Also, I will post NO names in this thread. If you are in, "PM" me. I will handle it privately from there on out and will update privately, and post "quantity" of buyers here. In your PM I need FULL information of how to contact for payment information if wanting to use CC.

Ask any questions you want here, everything else do a PM of contact information and I will contact you.

Just keeping this close to the top. Too many have told me they don't know about a GP till it's over.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Update. 3 kits. Like I said, keep them private. I'll PM your tracking and invoice #'s when it's time.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

4 of the kits were just finished last night from my end. I know George has other items to add that make it a complete kit though.

 

[George Blake]

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Re: 4L80e kit GP.

Yep. I do the other odds and end that as a builder you'll need and all the other items are based on feedback from customers of what they needed. It's all in the kit. If you WANT special fittings for different types of cooling system setups, no, those aren't in the kit.

If you want to get in on the GP, you have to pay, you can't just say "I'm in" and then wait till the end to see if there are enough people.
You get this price regardless of how many get in on it but I'm limiting it to 10 buyers. Once those 10 are in, the GP is closed. I've had MORE than 10 people say they are interested, if you wait and the 10 are taken, I will not extend it. It goes back to normal price at that point.
