A couple 4l80e swap questions.

[03LQ9]

I'm wondering if anyone knows the diff the between a 2wd 4l80e out of a van vs one out of a 2wd truck? The salvage yards list them as incompatible and I'm not sure why? I know the dipstick is diff but what else? I'm thinking one should work in my 03 1500 2wd?
Also does the shift bracket on a 4l80e work for the 4l60e cable, or do you swap the bracket over from the 4l60e? Thanks!

You need the 80e bracket and I didn't think there's a difference. In the truck and van trans.

It's just the senseless yards that don't know its all the same. They will often tell you an engine out of a car can't go in a truck or suv just because they don't have experience with them.

Ok, Thanks allot guys.

The output shafts are differant but either will work.

Just be sure it is the slipyoke style

Whats different about the output shafts? So there is a possibility that it might not have a slip yoke? The trans I want to buy is out of a 03 Savana Van.

Yeah, some (or maybe all) 1ton 2wds have the fixed yoke output. May be the same thing with the vans. Just check it before you buy.

Can run a slip yoke on the fixed output, it will just be shorter. That what all my 80es had. Still hold fine

[03LQ9]

What slip yoke do you use if you need a shorter one? Or do you cut the slip yoke shorter?
