If you got Questions on these trans go buy book on chevrolet Tpi and Tbi engine swapping by Mike Knell 11th edition.Bought mine through speedway motors in Lincoln Ne.and its worth every penny.In 1992chevy began using electronic trans in the 3/4 and 1 ton designated the 4L80E$ stands for 4 forward gears L for longitudinal for rear wheel drive,80 is a strength rating and e stands for electronic.93 full size trucks got the electronically controlled 700R4s which is called the 4L6oE.In 94 passenger cars (corvette,camaro,caprice got the electronic trans.Hope this helps if not bye the book its super.

Not to be a jerk but the 4L80E debuted in 91, not 92. Other than that the rest is true.

23and56, I just found a IAAI yard near where I work In Portland OR last week. I looked at their web page. www.IAAI.com last week. Do you have to bid on the whole vehicle? Or can you bid on just parts? Also, would that price of the tranny (you are getting) include the electronics needed to run the tranny? Thanks! Darren
