What do you want to do with the truck? Is it a 2 WD. or a 4WD. What engine do you have?. Are you going to keep the ECM? Why not keep the 4L60E, and do a performance reman. As for what will fit, there is a long list, as for what will de a direct swap, and will work with the same ECM and settings, only a 4L60E around the same year.
4L80e
Does the ECM need to be flashed for the 80E?. Like I said, what is the OP doing with the truck?. I got 275,000 out of my first 60E, andI have 250,000+ on the 60E I have now. Yes, the 80E is a bigger unit. Bigger clutches, and bigger bands, ECT. Again, what you doing with the truck?.
Thats kind of what I figured. It all depends on what you want, and what your using you truck or van for. I know a 60E can be built to hold 500HP. It would cost less ti have that done than to get a 80E and have everything done to support that trans. What works for me, may or may not be what you need, or what works for you.You can either flash the PCM or get creative with pinning and relays to allow the 4L60 trans segment to run the 4L80E. Without said trickery the 4L80E does some VERY unnatural things.
