I really didn't want to read through all 11 pages but why would this not be an easy swap? I have a 1 ton '96 Express van sitting in my yard right now with an L31 and 4l80 combo. Why not just use that ECM?

A 4L80E is not a 6L80E or even close.WHAT? Then what's controlling it in that van?
Yes, I know. What I'm saying is that I have a '96 van sitting here with an L31 5.7 and 4l80e from the factory. SO, if a fella wanted to swap their 4l60e out to a 4l80e AND it's going behind an L31 5.7, then why not just use the ECM from the van? It would swap in and control both no?A 4L80E is not a 6L80E or even close.

The 6L80 and 6L90 will slip up to 120 rpms in 4cyl mode with AC on.From what I understand, it's primarily due to a ****** torque converter and bad transmission tuning from the factory. On the 14+ 6l80s (haven't looked at older) they're tuned to slip the tcc 10-30 rpm when locked. They also unlock and relock every time they switch from v4 to v8, and some other stupid stuff.. tuned correctly I've heard they can hold good power.
But at the end of the the day 4l80 is king
That's gotta play hell on the tcc.The 6L80 and 6L90 will slip up to 120 rpms in 4cyl mode with AC on.
