Hey Nick,
Is there any way to tell a 4L65/4L70 without taking it apart?

Yes

 

[Scooterwrench]

Yes

Care to elaborate?

Care to elaborate?

Maybe

I'd be looking at the tag or numbers embossed in the trans case...but maybe there's an easier way.

Id tag 1KDZ to 6KDZ = 4L65E. If the tag is missing or unreadable, look on the under side of the case by the ext housing - ot will be laser-engraved there. Ill edit this post with the code for the 4L70E in a bit.

Cool! I found a list of those codes but they didn't mention the engraving,good to know.
When looking for tranny's to cannibelize for HD parts for your HD 700R4 build these are the tranny's your looking for.
These are the codes I found and feel free to correct any that are wrong or add any that I've missed.

For anyone that's curious, I did a video tear down of a 4L65E where I talk through the part differences between it (and the 4L70) vs the base 4L60E
