Look in your glove box at the RPO sticker, It has a bunch of 3 digit codes of numbers and letters, it should have one that says MX0, if thats the orignal transmisson. It a TH700. If it has MX1 then it came with a TH350 which was a 3 speed and means it was changed then you'd need to look at the pan to tell because there was a TH200 also that someone could have put in. Hope this helps. Let me know what you find. :cool:

700r4..200r4 were used in cars.,Look at your pan it will say everything or the rpo if you can read it.

TH200 were in cars but could be have been swapped was my point.

Maybe I'm not counting right but 1st 2nd 3rd and drive = a four speed and an RPO code of MX0 is a TH700. Every turbo 350 I've worked on only has 1st 2nd drive which is a 3 speed.

So that'd be a four speed.I have at least three turbo 350's in the basement and a few 700's out of my drag truck.. 3 forward gears... three speed......four forward gears...four speed. but hey think what you want its a free country

This argument is pointless because i believe that the 700r didn't come out till 1982.At least the info I'm seeing lists 82 as the first year. And when it did come out I doubt if it would have came with a 305. Possible it's not the original engine. The OP does not say 2 or 4 wheel drive, and he may be mistaken about a 3 in the gear selector. My guess would be that is's a TH350. With 3 fwd gears.

Your right it was introduced in 81 as an 82 model year.It came in 2 and 4wd trucks and was mated to everything from the 262 to the 400. I stated before it may have been changed to the 700r4 or it could have been a 200r4 since it has a universal bolt patteren. I know the 200 was a car tranny but like I said in 30 years who knows what was stuck in and I said to use the pan to identify it, then the bullshit ****ing bullshit started. So we'll just leave it to the mods.

Bullshit started where?Im not trying to start nothing since its pointless over the computer.Could be any kind of tranny could be any kind of motor.Bottom line is if you really want to know what kind of tranny it is look at the pan or the RPO code like the above posts say.Boooom.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
