so are all the conections as far as wireing the same? i am thinking when i get a tranny i will try to make a 4l80e work. because i do not want to keep rebuilding 4l60e's

 

No they are not. It takes a few wiring mods and PCM reprogramming to do it. Then it works fine.

 

where can i get the info to do this? who can do the reprogram? will ls1edit still work? i know they sell a stand alone controler for the things but they are like $1000 or so, this route sounds cheaper and cleaner/ more simple

 

Here's a idea. Get the flash from a 1500HD with a 6.0 and 4L80. Then use edit for the engine... Should work right

 

who knows if it will work, i am a little afraid to just try it. someone else try it!!!

 

i will but not soon enough for you. my plan is well i need money first. but i want to go buy a 4l80e from a wrecked truck or something not spend much. then have it built and eventualy take a weekend to figure out how to make it work. then i will have a 4l60e just chilling in the garage.

 

You guys ever thought of getting an engine harness from a wrecked 1500HD/2500/2500HD with a 4L80E behind it...

 

Here's the 4L60E to 4L80E adapter kit we make for $150. It includes the main trans harness adapter as well as the ISS harness which must be added (and the 2 pins plugged into your PCM).
If you have LS1 Edit already you use a 4L80E file with a matching segment #1 ID. If you don't have LS1 Edit we can reprogram your PCM with the 4L80E file. It's actually better if you have Edit, so I don't have to get involved in a bunch of mail order tuning!

When doing in-shop harnesses we just build the harness for which ever trans is being used by the customer, but this adapter will do the same thing.

 

So who is going to be the First to do this swap
i gonna see how long my Built tranny lasts with the current setup
If she Gives in I' definatly going the 80 route

 

woooooooohooooo!!!! thats the best news i have heard all day!!! I WILL BE CALLING YOU GUYS!!! where have you been hiding, seems like this question has been asked a few times and that is one of the bigest concerns.

i am soo excited about this, now all i have to do is get the damn thing to bolt in.
