So i was pretty nervous since i haven't tore into an auto tranny since my ATI days about 9 years ago, so i was triple checking everything i did. Didn't wanna start it up and the thing not move or make some crazy grinding noise and lock up. Installed a Yank PT3200 Transgo hd-2 shift kit, aluminum forward accumulator piston, aluminum 1-2 accumulator piston, Transgo seperator plate, Corvette 2nd gear servo, Sonnax Billet 4th gear servo, new filter and pan gasket.
Truck actually drives VERY well. Taking off from a light only went up a few hundred rpm's. Backing up into the driveway feels funny. Now just waiting on my valve springs.

I couldn't sleep at night if I took my engine apart like that, cause I know I'd never get it back together. I envy people like you, and others who know cars from the ground up. Great post

bump for a man with balls....... i, like jordan, would have no clue what im doing .... hondas i can strip apart and put together with my eyes closed, but not with the escalade, still new to me.

I'll see if i can do that today. Got a couple motor jobs waiting for me at house after i get off work today.
On a good note Fed Ex says my valve springs should be delivered today!
I think i tallied up how much i've spent so far on mods and it was about $2,800. But $1200 of that i got from trading wheels and selling my stock cats.

damn....8.9 in the 8th mile converts to roughly a 13.8 in the quarter mile. Very nice for a big truck...

Where/Who did you sell your cats to? How much did you get for them?
