Post by **Black Bull** » Fri Apr 13, 2012 11:12 pm

Anbody used the Dellow bellhousing for the A440/442 to the LS1 ?

How did you find it ?
did you use the standard convertor ?

I think KillaLux off here has got a LS?? in his 80, maybe send him a PM or 2 Dave.

Good luck mate.

The cruiser auto never works well with the ls engine. Best to use the commo auto.

I'd be fitting the 6l80e. 6 gears with a low 4:1 first ratio and designed to take 600Nm standard. Sorry, can't offer any advice on the Toy box but Wholesale Autos would.

Its not that the cruiser auto isnt strong enough. Its that it never shifts propperly and I doubt you will be happy with it.

The 6L80E would be nice, but if I was going to spend that sort of money I'd go a Duramax and an 7 speed Alison.

The reason most A440 boxes don't shift properly and eventually die (mine included) I have since discovered is because the kick down cable needs to be adujsted exactly right, as it also controls pump pressure as well as shift points

Any info on how to adjust kick down cable correctly?

Does anyone know what fuel economy you get running a ls with the 6l80e in a 80 on 35's

Post by **Black Bull** » Mon Apr 16, 2012 11:15 pm

Be few and far between yet with a 6L80E I would think at this stage, and those that would will be a 6.2, not a 5.7 or a 6.0

I run an L98 with a 4L80E on 35's & get 18lt/100km fully loaded for camping higher around town

Hey cranky what diff ratio do you run with your 37s

Post by **MUD000** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 10:28 am

Pretty sure he is running standard ratio 4.1 as we put a rear diff in it last easter at my place

I was getting around 16L/100 in my wagon, on 33's, with a L98 and 6l80e combo. Can't run a 6l80e behind the 5.7. Different computer systems
