transmission in silverado

[suede]

hey guys, just looking for quick answer, what transmission came in a 2001 1500 silverado Z71... mine took a shit on me, and looking for a remanufactured to throw back in it, im thinking it would be a 4l60 but not for sure... somone who know chime in...

[02cetransam]

It's a 4l60e.

+1 the 4l60's are ok transmissions but tend to get weak after 100k miles, I'm gonna be in the same boat as you here before long if I keep pulling stuff

^^I've got 398,000 on mine in my S10

[bandit95]

may be a 4l80e but im not completely sure. i thought they put it in the heavier duty trucks tho

4l60e, half tons never came with a 4l80 in that gen and it's too early for a 4l65

yea just turned 180k.... knew it was getting weak, but it went hardcore when we got to pushing it pretty hard....

thanks for the info guys, would there be an easy upgrade that would fit up like a champ?

Yeah a freshly rebuilt 4L60E

Beast sun shell, better bands and clutches? A tune to eliminate torque management and up pressure and reduce time it takes to shift will help your next one live much longer.

after looking into some of this, a sun shell will pry be in order, also a tune, but i think just because its the dd that i have no high horse goals, wont say a diablo handheld tuner adjust torque management and line pressure?

You can get a mail order tune way cheaper than a piece of shit diablo.

I'd get a black bear tune instead, I have heard nothing but good things about them on the late model GM truck forums I roam on. If I were you i'd go ahead and give them a shot instead, they seem to be very good with late model GM trucks, again, all I ever hear about them is positive feedback.

If I ever get my funding together I'll probably be getting one for mines also (114k miles).

a good trans cooler would help as well

pretty sure they come with a cooler

[GTP231]

Impossible to be overkill in the trans cooler department
