🔥 263K MILES & ONLY 2 GEARS LEFT — BUT IT MADE IT HOME!
This 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 made the long journey back to Florida with only 1st and 2nd gear hanging on. Once it got to us, we got straight to work and turned it around quickly with a few upgrades and some much-needed maintenance.
• Removed the failed 4L60E
• Swapped in a nice low-mileage GTO 4L65E
• Added a Corvette servo for firmer, more positive shifts
• Replaced the original engine and transmission mounts — 263K miles on the factory mounts isn’t bad!
• Tracked down and repaired a small coolant leak
• Finished it off with a few recalibrations using HP Tuners
Now it’s shifting right, running strong, and back to work where it belongs. 💪
High mileage doesn’t mean it’s done — sometimes it just needs the right repairs to keep earning its keep.
