George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

[SYO237]

I wanted to announced this to everyone who isnt aware of it already.

George notified Admin on Dec 31st that he will be no longer doing business and has since left the community. I know his phone numbers have been disconnected and he has not returned emails or PM's from people who have sent them. Before everyone goes and tries to PM him or email, know that you WILL NOT get a response. For reasons only George has, he decided to leave without notification to the public.

I have been holding off making this post due to the hopes that he would at least stay in contact. Its been a month, so its time to make this publicly known.

His forum will be closed, but not not hidden so as people can still use the information that is posted up.

Wow, disappointing news.
What does that mean for 4L80e swaps? Was he the only one supplying parts?

You can DIY. Just need to research. I guess we couldn't pay him enough.

FYI-
www.CKperformance.com can do a complete 4l80e swap for syty.

That sucks. George was a nice guy and didn't mind always helping those with questions. Sad he wished to leave us. Hopefully in the near future he will return to us if nothing else to say hi and tell us how he is doing. If you read this George, best of luck.

Best wishes George. Thanks for all you've done over the years for the community..and for me. I always had great conversations with you and enjoyed hanging out with you at events, whether you were handing me a raffle-won 4l80e or not!

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

That sucks sorry to hear that. He will be missed. He still owed me a gasket, 2 bolts, and installation instructions. Is there any way of getting ahold of him? Or does anyone have the installation packet that he put together?
Thanks,

Wow, this is sad to hear... George was always willing to help out, gave great advice, and built one hell of a transmission... On top of that he was very gracious with his time the one time I met him, and he just seemed to be a good guy. You'll be missed George.

Hate to see George go. He had alot of contacts in the industry.

Will anyone sell the 80 t/c input shafts or plans to make it ?

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

George, Sad to hear that you are closing down. But do what is best for you and your family.

I guess I now gotta research a tranny builder in Canada that can build me a nice 4l80e.

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

Wow, it is a big loss to all of us. Hopefully when things work out he will come back.

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

Wow, this is a total shock! George if you read this you are a great man, and we would definitely love to see you around here from time to time. Thank you for everything you've done and all that you've given to the SyTy community to help keep these trucks running.

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

Sad to see him go, he helped me through a few problems and was very nice. I know he slowed down the last few months because he wanted to spend more time with his family, you can't blame him for abandoning a low profit side business for that.

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

Hopefully he comes back on syty.net just for input. He was knowledgeable and had a lot of good answers to questions.

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

This very sad news for the syty community. George has brought a lot of knowledge to the forum. George we're all gonna miss you and wish you the best of luck.

I need a 80 t/c input shaft to finsh putting my 80e in my truck. I wonder if George would give the name of the supplier that made these for him?

Re: George Blake - Prime Gears out of Business

He had a guy with inside knowledge build the shafts. Hopefully, someone will build/sell them.
