There is a lot of information on this 4L60-E transmission on YouTube, some really good videos on how to diagnose a problem and how to fix it. The good thing is this tranny was used across a lot of GM platforms and there are a bazillion of them out there. You can buy a top quality and upgraded rebuilt tranny for $2500.

Haha nothing of that i just watched like 20 different videos about changing the same thing, lucky me i fix the right stuff( i hope so) but maybe ill get one of those scanners to keep it on check because i kind of wanna keep this truck, has some cosmetic issues but nothing mayor but hopefully it would last me a couple of years at least :)
