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?

I believe those statements would be false. In 95-96 they went to the obd2 operating system. There are actually several variations of the 4l60e (between 4x4, v6, ls). I think if you are want a four speed a 4l60 (no e) or a 700r4 would be a better choice. You do need to go with a lock up converter with these and will need to use crank spacer like with the older trannies.

For example, I have an 4L60E in my '98 Yukon (Gen II 5.7) and will require a spacer to mate it to the 5.3L

I know about the spacer for the tq convertor and that is not my question. I have posted this in different section and everyone agrees that it is false. I am not going to use a 700r4 and I never asked for that option, my question was never about a 700r4 nor about what transmission I can run
. I am looking for a 4L60e, looks like I will just find a 3 piece 4l60e.

In addition to the 3 piece case and the PWM, the 4L60E has seen quite a few updates (for durability) in it's time. Try to get the latest model version you can.

Sierra is spot on. If it's not a PWM trans it will fry in a matter of hours using the LS PCM. I watched a buddy make the mistake even after he was warned.
Also, the 4L60E has seen quite a few updates (for durability) in it's time. Try to get a later model version if you can.

I believe I answered your question and was only suggesting the 700r4 because you said your harness was already modified for standalone operation. I was just trying to give you a little extra, but whatever.
