Mine isnt either (its a 86' model). The only thing different in the kit is a few valve body gaskets.colbystephens said:i haven't had much of a chance to look over their website, but i don't think that either tranny i have access to is a post 87 model like the K16 kit is designed for. anyway, i'll check it out when i have more time. thanks tho.
When you call to order just tell them that you have a pre-87' and they will send you the correct gaskets/seals.

Colby , you could dump all kinds of money into that 700r4 and it's still a weak tranny to be running behind a very stout oilburner . You either need to step up to a 4l80 or swap over to a sm465/np205 . I think a 4 speed swap would be a better option in the long and drive line mod's wouldn't be to much $$ . If you do rebuild your old tranny USE the best parts you can get and not just some cheap B&M KIT OR A TRANS GO . Also use that new tranny cooler I gave you . I still do not think your tranny rebuilt will hold up to wheeling behind a deisel . I worked on those blazers in 84-86 in the army and we ALWAYS had problems with those 700r4s and had a small warehouse with new gm 700r4s in the crates . We would just r&r them .
What CUCV's were using 700's?
The manual states all were TH400's.
Nonetheless, can't comment on the 700 living behind a diesel, but I don't believe GM EVER put a 700 behind one, which might say something. (no idea if they did later on, but not in the '73-91 run)

GM put many 700's behind the 6.2. Most, if not all 1/2 ton 6.2L's had the 700r4.

stall is when both of the sets of blades in the torque converter are spinning the same speed - this means that it is when maximum power of the engine is being transmtted thru the torque converter. generally low stalls are important for trucks.

I got a 6.2 out of a burb that had a 700r4 behind it from the factory

I know that stateside we had a few with t400 but most had 700r4 and a few with sm465's . The 1 ton trucks did have t 400 but the 1/2 ton blazer had all the light duty stuff . I know when I went to germany in 84-86 all I saw was 700r4s in the blazers but keep in mind I was a 63w and I worked on the bigger stuff and the blazers and jeeps got worked on at the motor pool by the 63b guys unless they needed helpdyeager535 said:
. That was quite often and we just r&r'd the broken stuff . We could get pretty abusive with our rig's being that we were a DS unit and we were always in the field . Maybe the overseas blazers had the 700r4 because it had something to do with traveling on the autobahn
