Default ? on 4L60

I thought my truck has a 700R4 in it, but now im starting to think its a 4L60. So my question is... Can anyone tell me what year they started putting the 4L60 in 4X4 Chevys? Thanks!

The THM700 was renamed "4L60" (RPO M30) following the new General Motors naming convention, when the electronic version, 4L60-E, was phased in. This happened in 1993 for trucks, vans, and SUVs, and 1994 for rear wheel drive passenger cars. Around 1996, a bolt-on bell housing was phased in (along with a six-bolt tailhousing) when the transmission was bolted behind an inline four cylinder or the Vortec engine family.

The 4L60-E is rated to handle up to 360 ft·lbf (488 N·m) of torque.

The 4L60-E has a fatal design flaw in its valve body. There is a kit to fix this.

It is still being built.
