. I had a 95 K1500 ext. Is there a bolt-in kit available? I don't mind a manual trans truck, in fact I like it in some configurations. I have been asked to identify the wires for electronic auto trans controls that can be removed if you are not going to use electronic automatic transmission. In 1996, a bolt-on bell housing was phased in along with a six-bolt tailhousing for S-10 Trucks and S-10 Blazers and beginning in 1998 for all other applications.
If you're buying new consider ordering. The 4L60-E and similar 4L65-E is a series of automatic transmissions from General Motors starting in 1993. The 4L60E is rated to handle up to 360 ft·lbf 488 N·m of torque. There are over 60 different variations of the 4L60E so we have over 60 different part numbers! Note: Removing all of these will result in a non-emissions friendly harness. What kind of warranty coverage are you looking for? Both are good options but the best option for you depends on the transmission problem, the year, make and model of vehicle, the mileage and the vehicle value. Before the automatics went electronic about 1993 this was easier.
It is a bunch of work to make the value of your truck Tahoe especially hit rock bottom. But a manual truck is hard to sell. Warranties for a used transmission is only 30 days, 60 days, 90 days or 6 months. The 4L60-E and 4L65-E were mostly built at Toledo Transmission Hydramatic plant in Toledo, Ohio. If I show a wire, and your harness does not have it, you probably don't need it anyway. Other elements of the 4L60-E design were strengthened when the 4L65-E was introduced, but these were incorporated into the 4L60-E in 2002.
Designed for longitudinal engine configurations, the series includes 4 forward gears and 1 reverse gear. Used transmissions, since there is no way to know how many miles are on them, may fail at any time. Are some years easier to deal with than others? I am sure I am forgetting a bunch of stuff, but you get the idea. The additional cost may be higher than installing a reman or rebuilt transmission--not to mention the extra downtime. It is an evolution of the Turbo-Hydramatic 700R4, originally produced in 1982. The only problem is that I have not been able to find and acceptable truck with a manual transmission.
I have tried to list all possible wires that will show up 99-02. I am considering buying a Silverado 1500 4x4. No kit available, but all bolt on parts. Finally that one guy came along that wouldn't drive anything but a stick. Loved the truck, but when I bought a Tahoe it took me forever to sell the thing. How hard is it to do a swap? Every transmission is cold and hot tested before shipment.
Some harnesses are different based on type of o2 sensors you have. Will a tranny swap present a problem with the computer? Buying a used 4L60E transmission may save you money. As far as swapping you will need at least: Remove complete dash to install clutch pedal assembly. I'll agree with the poster above who says manuals are harder to sell. R emanufactured transmissions carry a longer, 3 year, nationwide warranty with additional upgrades while a rebuilt unit generally carries up to a 1 or 2 year warranty and upgrades vary from shop to shop. .
