Default 4l80e differences by year??

I have a blown 4l80e from a 2004, savana, are there's differences each year? Or can I grab any 4l80e and use it? Assuming all are 2wds. I have the wiring and computer for the 2004.

Is a 99 the same as a 2005?

Any 96 up (I think that is the right year someone correct me if im mistaken ) will be direct bolt in with center lube. some of the earlier cases do not have top center bolt but that is not an issue and the 99 will work fine . really any unit with center case lube will be fine.

Center case lube? How does one find this out 😂. The electrical connecter is always the same?

The rear lube version came out in 1997.

Yeah, any 97+ will work. Only small internal changes were made after that year (only matters if you are rebuilding them.)
