Aluma Trailer

[michaelmosty]

There's 2 kinds of 4L60Es, those that have died and those that will.

Is that is what is in an 07 Tahoe??

Bought the trailer and brought it home safely last night. Had hiccups in the process yet happy with this one. Updated album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Zh6yUfUjV8Rfxan56

Yeah. If you're good with a rebuild long term it's not a huge deal to worry about. Wife's Envoy had the same trans and I toe in OD when it lets me. If it hunts I pull back to 3rd. We got it at 63k so young enough to love it and make it last as long as possible. It had a filter change before I got it and I did a full flush within a week of purchase. We're creeping on the 50k mark since, so another full flush is on the horizon. Keep them clean and keep them cool is your best bet at a long life. Aside from extreme ignorance, you should expect at least 150k from it before really worrying about it. 2007 had most all of the updates they gave the thing.

Looking good!

You're going to be a bit short on time for hallett for these suggestions but see if you can get a weight distributing hitch with clamp on brackets. Highly recommend the blue ox brand.
It will make a huge difference in stability, comfort, and sway.

I am not a fan of open hook straps, closing end straps like these are the way to go.

My preference is to use axle straps on the rear axle tubes at a minimum, cross the closed hook straps hooked on those to the trailer, but you have to be careful with those as you can damage the brake lines.

I permanently installed these hooks to my axle with longer UCA bolts:

Thanks much Pranav. Fbody383 mentioned on the phone that these might be some appropriate upgrades.
