Default true or false?

Can you use any 4l60e 93->up on a 5.3L ? I am asking about the computer being able to run it. Are the pinouts the same? As far as the tq convertor spacer goes that is not the issue.
I have an 01 5.3L with the stock harness already cut and modified for a standalone and I am looking for a 4l60e. I heard that any 4l60e can work. True or flase?

Would you care to elaborate? What do you know about the reason as to why it will not work. Or is this a guess? I need someone who has personal experience. Thanks guys.

Get one thats '97 and up non LS1 type. '93 to '96 will work with some wiring modifications.

No idea what you mean by you have your wiring harness cut up for a stand alone.

Have you never heard of a standalone wiring harness? You take a stock harness and cut and modify it to run on only the things necessary to run the engine.
ex. I removed the rear o2's, removed the egr harness, removed the park/neutral safety switch harness, etc etc etc.
I have 2 relays and 4 fuses running the standalone harness. I will try and get more info on the transmission interchangeability.

I have. Just not sure what it has to do with the transmission. If you want to run a 4L60E then you obviously have the transmission harness still.

If you want to rewire an older 4L60E you can, there are just more differences between '93 and '97. It would be easier to just get one close to the year of the rest of your stuff.

It has alot to do with it... I thought it was obvious that I posted that I was looking for a 4l60e to work with a stock 01 5.3L harness that I had modified to be standalone. I can't run a 4l60e without a harness and computer. soooooo

Ok now it's a stand alone harness to run just the transmission.
I read

as in you have a 5.3 that your looking to put a 4L60E onto and you already have the converter to engine part figured out.

Guess you left harness and computer out of that sentence. I only know what you tell me.

Maybe you should learn how to explain what the **** you're butchering.

Again you say you have a 5.3.

Here I'll rewrite it for you so it makes sense.

Can you use any 4l60e 93->up with a 5.3L computer and harness cut and modified for a standalone? I heard that any 4l60e can work.
Too easy I guess.

This is everything from my first post....

Can you use any 4l60e 93->up on a 5.3L ? I am asking about the computer being able to run it. Are the pinouts the same? As far as the tq convertor spacer goes that is not the issue.

I guess you fall in the reading impaired section.
Why is it that you are the only one that has an issue with it? Do a search on my other threads about this same topic, all I did was cut and paste it. Everyone else clearly understood but you. I had an attitude towards you from you first post by just saying "false". With no explanation what so ever. Alot of people and it looks like including you, jump to post and don't read the thread before posting. If you didn't understand the thread why comment. Or you did understand and chose to become a keyboard cop because it wasn't to your standards. Like i said above.. thanks for your information so far as I need no more of your help. As for everyone else, Thanks for understanding the thread and not making an issue of it. The majority of everyone has agreed that 99 and up is the model that will need to be used when running a harness of my year model.

You're right, they do all understand

I am looking for a 4L60e, looks like I will just find a 3 piece 4l60e.

Which, without guessing, would be a '97 to '03 as I said earlier in this thread.

And my definate answer was '97 to '03.

Just get over the fact that I questioned your hacked up harness. Thats what you have a problem with. I said what years work with a '99 5.3 pcm regardless of what the hell you're doing with it. Thats the answer, you're just upset that I questioned it.

So you did understand!
Why are you making it harder than it needs to be! I have thanked you for your information and by you adding this you have me believing that you did understand and chose to be the internet jockey. Like I said, I had an attitude because of your no information first post. You then began to add information and question what a standalone harness is. Then said that you know what it is but you didn't know what it had to do with the transmission and then you go to say that I didn't put harness and computer in the first post. That's just contradicting by saying what does the harness have to do with it but then say that the harness info is needed. The guy who told me to come to the transmission section only giuded me this way because he didn't know the definite answer. I am thanking you again and no need for you to reply anymore. I have my answers thanks to everyone who clearly understood.

questioned my hacked up harness? I have no issue with you asking me about my hacked up harness as you put it. You are steering another direction now. I hope you are blowing off steam or something becasue I hope this isn;t your regular routine. Life would suck to be angry all the time. Pick on the little guys do you.... internet tough guy?

here we go again.... your first post was "false" with no info. I had to question it. We are here to LEARN! Information is the key. You gave me a word. after I questioned you, then I got more info. If I hadn't questioned you then you wouldn't have answered my question. true or false?
