That would be a good one to build up...
If you just want it R&R'd, you could go to most any trans shop.. The PCM/TCM should function ok with it, but it needs to go through a specific programming setup procedure.
If you want to come up to Garden Grove, My bud can do that... But he may want it for his EXT if it's all built up!
Nothing like having a 4L65e spare hanging around!! Damn!
Does it have the hardened parts in it?
It's not built, it's just the 'stock' 4L65E from GMPP. But from what I understand there are hardened parts (i.e. input shaft, etc.), 5-pinion planetaries, etc, so it is a little better unit than the stock 4L60E.
What special programming needs to be done to the 4L65E?
None of the tranny shops around here want to touch it. San Diego is a po-dunk town in many respects, especially when it comes to auto performance. A couple of dealers have said they would do it, but they've said it would be $450-$550, which to me is ridiculous.
How much would your buddy charge? Is he ASE certified (if so, that means the GMPP 12/12 warrantee starts from the moment the tranny is installed, not when I took delivery last year). PM me if it looks promising.
