Dont know if this is the correct spot for this... I pulled my trans to rebuild (3-4 cluches smoked, suprise...suprise) 4l60e out of a 1996 yukon 4x4 to find that it look like it may be a bone yard unit I have been trying for hours to find somewhere to decode the numbers so I know what it came out of....Case Stamped is 6KCD027N.... also there is a 0868 listed where it says Toledo on the bell housing sticker and the full number on the sticker is 616KCDY16409404

 

Can someone tell me what year and when it was built and model it came out of ?

 

Thank you,

Ernie

I got a trans from a recycle yard that seems to be missing a number. In the first diagram you show the spot to ID the trans with 9 numbers or letters. I have only eight. The trans looks like it had other numbers there before and were ground off and replaced with 6MSD094R. It was said to be from a 96 Astro with 131,000 miles. I wonder if it is a remanufactured 86 4L60E. They have been used since 85 in Astro/Safari and C1500/K1500s. The second diagram shows where to find the serial number and that looks like it was machined off at some time. Any ideas on what I have here?

If it was out of an 86 it would be a 700R4 which is cable operated, I think it was 92 or 93 when the 4l60E came around its basically a 700R4 just eletronic .

dont mean to be a thread jacker but

 

i have bought a drivetrain out a "supposely" 06 ss siverado truck, which comes with a lq9 & 4l65e tranny, but after doing the "check the piston" test im thinking that its a lq4 and came out of a 1500 06 siverado.

i want to make sure of what i have before i run off spending money to later find out its something else.

 

The block confirms that it did come out of a 06 truck, but as we all know it wont tell me anything else. So i have pulled off the sn off the tranny itself can somebody please help me decode this so ill have piece of mind and will be able to move foward with my build PLEASE.!!!! Ive spent hourrssss online trying to do this myself but i have been incapable of doing so.

 

tranny seriel number is

c61275321

 

thanks for the help guys.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
