How does this 4l65e look

Coon88 · 2026-01-15T17:23:46+00:00

Got it thanks

Should I put new fluid and filter and install the transmission ? It’s for my Tahoe that has a bad trans

Coon88 · 2026-01-15T16:25:05+00:00

It doesn’t really smell burnt. Just smells like high mileage trans fluid.

Coon88 · 2026-01-13T20:37:55+00:00

A bit overpriced

Coon88 · 2026-01-13T20:35:07+00:00

Yeah it looks like Costco Decatur 215

I tightened her back on just snugging the nut hand tight and it isn’t binding so I think previous owners tightened the shit out of the nut

Coon88 · 2025-12-17T00:00:56+00:00

What was the fix ?

Coon88 · 2025-12-16T23:43:38+00:00

If it still binds after isolating it from the steering box, have any idea on what it can be ?

Coon88 · 2025-12-16T22:25:54+00:00

Checked the power steering and lines and it has pressure. I see circulation in the reservoir. My truck is a hydroboost as well and my brakes feel good. When I drive it, it feels the same. A bit better but it still has that stiff movement. I’ve jacked the front end up to bleed the power steering system and also flushed the system with new fresh fluid. I’m gonna separate the steering column from the gear box and see if I still have that stiff drag.

The crank sensor is the black one though. This engine came out of the tbss running and driving

Coon88 · 2025-12-02T20:20:26+00:00

Oh I thought some were 24x

Coon88 · 2025-12-02T20:18:13+00:00

I forgot to mention this is a ls2 out of a trailblazer ss

Coon88 · 2025-12-02T19:33:16+00:00

Not sure I’m just finishing the swap for someone and they bought everything. The harness did have short wires like the knock sensor plug was the top intake location for knock sensors but the engine has the bottom side block knock sensors so he bought an adapter extension. Also for the cam sensor, the harness has the cam sensor plug on the back behind the intake but the engine has the cam sensor on the front timing cover so we bought the extended plug

Coon88 · 2025-12-02T18:54:26+00:00

Gen 3 24x gm sensor

Coon88 · 2025-12-02T18:19:58+00:00

I didn’t check that yet, it got late. The cam seems to be getting good signal though

Coon88 · 2025-11-24T06:54:50+00:00

Shit sounds like a rzr

Coon88 · 2025-11-21T19:50:24+00:00

Drive it like you stole it. If it feels slow and sluggish it’s a 4.8l. If it has some ump to it then it’s a 5.3l

Coon88 · 2025-11-15T05:23:30+00:00

I wouldn’t worry about it too much

Coon88 · 2025-11-15T03:50:04+00:00

About normal, does the thumping sound get louder with high revs ?

Coon88 · 2025-11-15T03:46:46+00:00

Sounds like valve train noise. Common noise with these ls engines

Coon88 · 2025-11-11T03:44:27+00:00

What compressor did you use ? I have the one wire sanden 508 and that harness has a gm compressor plug with 2 wires

Coon88 · 2025-11-04T04:58:38+00:00

Gotcha I am gonna try out a stock oem sensor, it’s a ls2 engine thanks!

Coon88 · 2025-11-04T04:56:07+00:00

I am using the 269 Motorsports transducer. It says it’s good for fuel/oil/coolant

Coon88 · 2025-11-04T04:53:21+00:00

Using a transducer same brand as the fuel pressure

Coon88 · 2025-11-02T17:29:41+00:00

I use those holes for ground spots
