4L60E vs 700r4

[Chuck21387]

So i'm running a 700r4 because i've got one, and don't have cash to buy a newer 4L60E, can i trick the computer into thinking all is well with the 4L60E connectors? Or re-tune the computer to think that they are there when they're really not?

i beleive the only thing youll need is a way to control the converter lock up, youll be fine.

That&#39;s what I&#39;ll be trying to figure out. Hadn&#39;t worried much about the lockup since I&#39;m getting just under 19mpg w/o a working lockup & 4.10s @ 70 - 75mph (recently noted on a 90 mile drive from BR to NO). :flipoff: FTW&#33;&#33;&#33;

In order to prevent a butt load of check engine codes from the PCM, you&#39;ll need to flash your computer with a manual trans program.

Engine codes? What engine codes? I have HPT. Don&#39;t need no stinkin&#39; codes&#33;

But I was replying to Chuck (you remember, the guy that started this thread with the T-700?)
Apparently he does not have HPT..... perhaps you could hook him up?

Other wise Chuck, check out Nelson Performance (site sponsor) and he&#39;ll be able to fix you up.

Thanks for the info, know anyone who does it cheap? i&#39;ll ship it to them :-)

What is HPT? What kwkenuf is referring to is a package that will allow you to make configuration changes to the engine&#39;s computer (as if you were a GM engineer yourself). There&#39;s a bunch of stock settings that you may want to have changed before being able to run your rig full-time. As kwkenuf said, Nelson Performance is a site sponsor, and is reasonably priced too.

As for me "hooking up" Chuck, need to buy some licenses. My HPT is VIN specific. I may be purchasing extra soon b/c I want to ditch the &#39;00 PCM. Hey... could I get an &#39;02 PCM, still have it flashed to &#39;00 VIN, and enjoy the benefits of having &#39;02 capabilities? Or do I need to flash an &#39;02 VIN on an &#39;02 PCM to fully enjoy that?

What I think they meant to say is that HPT is HPTuners software, the most popular PCM tuning software on the market today.
