Quick answers, you will have to retune the PCM right away for an 4L80E swap. The truck exhaust will not simply bolt on to your Tahoe.

Very useful. Lots of great info in here. It's a long read, but you did a wonderful job with all the details of what you ran into along the way. Bummer that you don't still have the truck though, would be interesting to see how it would've held up over time (not that it wouldn't have).

So I say to you "Great work, sir!"

Ok well if anyone gets the opportunity to answer this question, I did the 4L80E swap on my 2003 SSS and I did all the wiring and what not just like the guide says. I was told I can drive it far enough to do such as put it on a trailer, but it threw 2 codes.. a PO740 and a PO785..

The PO740 is a TCC code, which I believe is normal because a 4L80E doesn't have a TCC?

And a PO785 which is a "shift solenoid A malfunction" I believe, which might also be normal at this moment

The truck hasn't been tuned YET! So if you think this is normal just tell me, I gotta make sure before I tow it 2 hours away to be tuned though... any help is much appreciated!

When you said "The truck hasn't been tuned YET!", do you mean that the segment swap wasn't done? If it hasn't been, I would get it tuned and clear the codes then see if they come back.

This truck is still tuned for a performance 4L60E, it's yet to see a tune since then.. I'm just trying to make sure ALL the bugs are worked out before I carry it to have it tuned. I don't wanna be at ETMC working on my **** while he's trying to tune it lol..

I don't think it'll work correctly without a segment swap being done on the VCM. However, I've never done it. I have only read about it.
