The 4l60 still shits the bed when towing, even with the factory tow package options. Ask me about roasting the one in my avalanche twice, then dumping two bottles of lucas trans fix into it before trading it in on the wagon. :haw:

Not enough hp to be noticeable. A cam and tune will always be the best bang for the buck on the motor, but requires more effort to install.

Nothing is actually gonna boost mileage on an 800. And streetability depends on exactly what cam gets slammed in.

Any common issues that causes these trucks to have detonation under hard acceleration?

My brother is getting it in his truck now, and he runs high octane in it to help in the Florida heat. I told him to back off on flooring it until we can figure out what the problem is

lovely ignition, lovely gas. If its not detected, then the knock sensors are probably fucko'd.

I'd rather do knock sensors than plugs if they haven't been done before. Those fuckin boots will be welded to the plugs.

I chiseled the plug wire boots out with an exacto knife and anger. That was 75% of my time doing that job.
