6L80E questions

[usmcchevy]

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is in the pan of the trans. No one makes a stand alone controller for them yet so you need a 08+ 58x crank LS style engine to run it. This is pretty much all I know about them, hope it helps a bit.

I wonder what module they sold me at the insurance co?

I'm looking for 08 up motor. I've been told the new body style 07 trucks had the 58x crank sensor. This tranny is from an 07 so that makes sense.

I've been told it has to be an 07 new body style (GMT900). Is that what yours came from? Or was it the 07 Classic style?

Vans didn't get the 58x until 08, I was just making sure you knew they used both in 07. You're on the right track.

Actually they do make a stand alone controller for all GM trannys, including the 6l80e. TCI makes it.

"TCI EZ-TCU-Compatible with most popular GM transmissions, including the 4L60E, 4L65E, 4L70E, 4L80Eand 4L85E, as well as the TCI® 6x Six-Speed Transmission"

The TCI 6x is a 4l80e with two more gears, not a 6l80e unfortunately.
