I have a 1997 Sierra 4.3L auto 2wd. Looking to replace the worn out 4L60E (seperate bell housing and 6 bolt tail housing)with a later model good used one. Need to know what donar vehicles and years will work. Looking at one out of a 2002 Yukon but don't know if it's compatable. Thanks for your input

 

P.S. - Meant to introduce myself. I'm Dan from the Florida Space Coast. I have had alot of different vehicles in my 47 years but always have more to learn.

Off the top of my head the clutch packs are better in transmission that were originally built for V8's vs V6's..... Or they were for a while may all be the same now........ I know the 700's were......

 

Are you buying it at a salvage yard? If so they know most of the time.... If the connector is wired the same, I don't see any problem. Reuse your flywheel.

Thanks for the info. I've been told up to 2002 will work with it as long as it has the seperate bell housing and same tail shaft. I didn't know if there's a cross reference avail somewhere to what will work or if someone here has an up to serial number or other numbers that would corrolate to ones that woould work.

Why not pull it and just get yours rebuilt??? Around my area 4L60e's are like 500ish to build, if you pull it and put it back. Plus converter if they can't wash yours out.

Yeah i've looked into the rebuild options including rebuilding it myself. A decent rebuild kit plus time, labor, etc is less attractive to me than a good low mileage newer unit. So still looking for more cross reference info or sources for it. Like I said before, I have a 2002 trany with 60k on it from a Yukon i'd like to use but just looking for a way to confirm compatability. Thanks for any additional info.

I've learned from a vendor of drivetrain components that 1997 through 1999 4L60Es will work with my trucks computer. They said that 2000 on will bolt up but the electronics are different. Does anyone know if there's a way to program around this? The 2002 trans that is avail to me is not in my posession so I can't check if the computer conection connectors are the same.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
