This a good 4l80e to use Now I have a known working stock 4l60e and this 4l80e. Got it because the price was right.
Google tells me the 00 on the tag means it's a 2000 and the guy told me it came out of a working 2001 6.5 turbo diesel 2wd at ~80k.
The 0LCP tag says 2000 g3500 6.5TD van so the story seems to match. That would explain the 2wd.
Were there any upgrades after this? Someone said 01 had an upgrade but I don't know if that means model year or tranny stamp year?
I'm thinking put a trans go kit in, a yank stall and hope it's still good like the guy claims?
Is a stock 4l80e with a trans-go kit stronger then a 4l60e with the stage 1 or 3 (beast sunshell, hd2, etc) rebuild job people buy on here?
Oh yeah he gave me this shift lever thing too since he broke the stock one.
I don't even remember this being on my 4l60e but maybe i forgot?
I called the guy and he had already sold 3 of these and this one was supposed to be for his personal swap, but I convinced him to seperate it and sell it to me and even drive the hour up to me to deliver it.
Dumb good luck on my part I hope.

Different then ohter 4l80e's?
They are different then a 4l60e. They are a lot beefier. A custom stall will adapt that to the ls1.
In back I got lucky and it looks like i have the splines all the way up the output shaft with the metal cup over it.. That means my th400 yoke has a good chance of working right?

thats a good year to build, had lots of updates-2004 they made some minor ones, but your trans has the good stuff (hard parts)
i though the 2000 had the 12 o clock bolt hole, but not sure, but your tag def shows a 2000 unit-i paid $400 for 2-2004 cores

doing more research i think the 01+ had the 12 o'clock bolt hole.
I know you don't need it. Couldn't you just drill it though if you cared.
Also looks like the upgrades were to the roller clutches and while they look ok on paper they used smaller rollers and I found some failures on performancetrucks with them.
So if you're in the group that likes the older larger rollers by pure dumb luck I got the best year possible if you don't plan on changing the hard parts.
