Default 4l80

I got a bid on a 02 3/4 ton 4x4 chevy. Rusty, but runs out good for 200, 000 miles. The trans has less than 10,000 on it, can you change tail housings and make it a 2wd? I'm going to part it out, I'll leave it together until I sell the eng, that way they can hear it run. The trans would bring decent money if it will go into a car without changing tail shaft or something big.

The output shaft on a 4x4 trans is shorter, to use it on a 2wd you have to completely disassemble it and install the 2wd output shaft and then get a tail housing.

Note: Compared to 5 years ago the value of a 4l80e has dropped significantly, they are really only worth $200-300 as a core now. GM built more than 1000 per day for years, so the market is really saturated now...

And that question should have probably been in a different section.

The trans is prob worth more for a 4x4, they get hard use and usually could use a trans
You have to change the output shaft and tail housing (make sure the ring is on the shaft, 4x4 has it in the carrier)
Used rebuilt stuff is iffy, I just look at it as a core, unless I personally know something about it

To replace the output shaft, you literally have to remove evetything from the trans, as it is the last piece that comes out.

Trade it for a 2wd

Where are you located? I am about to pull the 4l80e from my S10 that works great. It will be for sale soon.
