What kind of truck and drivetrain do you have? As for as programming - same. Plug-n-play. If you have a 4.8 or 5.3 the only thing you need to pay attention to is 2WD vs. 4WD. If that matches then yes - it's a slam dunk. If you have an older truck (5.7, 5.0, etc.) or you have a V6 in a current or older truck this will not work.

Depending on the truck, the answers should be yes, and yes. I did exactly what you are considering doing with GMPP P/N 24221888 and everything works fine.

What kind of truck do you have?

great debate time...I can afford the transmission, but not the dealer install. If they install it its a parts/labor waranty, if I install it its a parts waranty. Now the question comes in the next 12k miles am I gonna mod it enough to break this tranny

any 60E or 65E has a chance of grenading on you...

I have broke 2 stage 2 4L65E transmissions within the past 2 years.
just depends on how you set it up..
is this a factory bought trans... oem replacement?

or is this being bought from a performance shop?
