4L60E & 4L65Es are light duty transmissions, The 4L65E is a little stronger than a 60E. They are great for stock & mild 4.8, 5.3, 5.7 & 6.0s.

The 4L80E & 4L85E are heavy duty truck transmissions, They are heavy, & sap alot of power from the engine, But they handle alot of horsepower & torque. If your not making over 400 horsepower you dont need a 4L80E.

A 4L60E wiring harness can be modified to run a 4L80E & vice versa. The PCM will need to be programed to match the transmission your running.
