Has anyone change the Tranny oil dip stick tub for the 4L80E. My Suburban need one. Many years ago I had to change one on Blazer, 6.2 with a 700R4 and had to lower the rear of the transmission down a few inches. Do you need to do the same on the Suburan?

I just went out yeaterday to check fluid and low and behold when I took the dip stick out the top 10 inches of the tub just snaped offCensored. How do I go about fixing this:confused:.

Filler tubes are a PITA no matter what. Sometimes you can "worry" them out without dropping or moving anything. Sometimes, it's just easier to lower the trans by dropping the crossmember. The fight can last longer if you try to "save time" by not dropping the trans down a bit. There's just not a lot of room at the top and sides of the engine to allow the tube to be manuvered around. Be sure to change the seal in the case!

Me too. Just found it out. Some of the fellows in the 6.5 forum say it is a two person job. One bolt, one seal. One person on top to guide the new tube down, and another on the bottom to guide the tube in...
