Hello from Kentucky, I Need help with a transmission question.

[TruckGuy40165]

I am glad that I found this site.

I am a Chevy guy with a dozen trucks from 1947-2008.

My main focus is 1955-59 Chevy Apache trucks, I have several.

My question is about my 2008 Chevy 2500hd two wheel drive truck. The 6L90 was bad and I put a 2016 6L90 from a 3500 express extended can in it.

It will not shift out of 3rd gear.

Can I just have a GM dealer reprogram the transmission, or do I need a 6L90 out of a different truck.

I have another 6L90 sitting on the bench, but I do not know what it came out of.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The TCM must be programmed to the truck. I would start there.

 

I don't know if anything is different between the TCM's and transmission that are 8 years apart.

@TruckGuy40165 Did you ever get a firm answer on this?

 

I'm looking for similar info myself; wondering if an earlier 6L90 will work if the correct year valve body and TEHCM is used. I have a 2016 needing a rebuild and found a GM reman from a 2009.
