TransSurgeon / Gary Please help, 2000's Chevy Suburban/GMC Yukon XL

Feb 27, 2004 5 Replies

Hi Gary,



We are in the market soon for a tow vehicle for a 4500 lb boat, (1000 lb trailer, plus gear, total of 6000-7000 lbs.)



I'm considering the full size Suburban/Yukon XL in years 2000 and above.



What engine tranny transfer case options should I be looking for or avoiding, and why?



Thanks Donny

you need something with a 4L80E in it

Donny, This means you want the 3/4 ton Suburban or Yukon XL to get the 4L80E. The 1/2 tons have the 4L60E. JR

"installed the after market cooler but other than fluid changes every 15k"

BINGO !!!!

you did it right

and since you did, the 60E lasted
