Considering 4L80E? What Years?

I am considering going with a 4L80E... I am going to buy a used one and have it rebuilt. What year vehicles would I be looking for to get one from? I was thinking 99 and up 2wd... but I see guys on ebay selling 4L80E from a 92 and a96.. did they have electronic transmission then?? What years should I look for during my search.

Thanks!

The 4L80 has always been electronic.

93 diesel 1 ton's had them, could probably rob the controller out of the truck also.

Thanks guys. I know the E stands for electronic.. I was just wondering if maybe there was a 4L80 (non-electronic) that people were confused and advertising it as a 4L80E

So 97 and up 4L80E out of any GM 2wd will be fine?

Thanks again!
