Yes the Black GMC has a TKO 600 and it shifts like butter!!
That truck has a tick over 50K miles on it and it WAS driven every day until I finished the green 53, and I must say I am tired of shifting because the 4L60E is the only way to go!

I am the opposite on the shifting I was a truck driver and my favorite transmission was an 18 speed. and I miss shifting a smooth transmission.
Besides I don't think a 4L60 would live behind a 455HO for long.
