I have an answer for your question. However, as I am not a mechanic, an ounce of caution is advised.
That said, I have a 1999, K1500 (4X4) Suburban which had a 4L60 in it when it recently took a crap on the highway. I spent some 6+ months (& $5+K) replacing it so I have more than a little experience here.
GM changed the body style of our Sub's in late 1999 to the new (girlish) footprint. Therefore, you'll be looking for a transmission that is/was in a Sub between 1998 and early 1990 production dates.
I looked, shopped, priced, etc. and finally wound up putting a Allison 4L65 in mine. ($5500±) and with a slightly modded SB350, can almost raise the front tires off the ground from a stop. Smoke the tires? Oh yeah, there's smoke & rubber chunks flying everywhere. Fact is, while I like the smell of burning rubber, it is getting to be kind of a drag since my 33" BFG T/A's cost approx $150.00 each!
Good luck and good rodding!
Yes it will, there the same.
No
They are the same.
Any other 5-speed trannys from a 1996-2002 Camaro/Firebird with the 3.8 V6 should work
the hood and bumper and fenders will, the grille is slightly different
The only YEAR that will work in that truck is a 1996 MODEL 4L60E transmission. That was a bad year for things interchangeing. And you own it.
YES, It will.
4L60E And the only 1 that will work in that 96 is a 1996 model 4L60E
I don't think so, given that the engine became computer controlled in 1996. I they are the same size they might bolt up just fine but I'm not sure how much work it would be to convert it to computer control. The Suburban and Silverado drive trains were almost unchanged from 1988 thru 1995 and 1996 thru 2000.
NO. A timing light will not work on that engine. You must have an obdII engine scanner to set the timing on that year.
1/2 tons used the 4L60E transmission and the 3/4 tons used the 4L80E in them. The only one that will work in that year is a 1996 or 1997 model because of the bell housing.
The transfer case makes it 4x4 not the transmission. As long as the trannys are the same should work
