(I've read through the related posts on this forum - I don't see this issue addressed. Thanks for input.)
2000 Silverado 4x4 1500 with 5.3L. My 4l60e pump gave out, I purchased another transmission to install. Found out by reading trans sticker that this is a 2001 4l60e, and thought I was getting a good deal for the price of a 4l60e.
My local shop installed the transmission but during test is only getting 1st and 2nd gears, and only occasionally will go up into 3rd when you let off throttle in 2nd. Has never gone into 4th since this transmission was installed.
I have since found that the 4l65e didn't even come out until 2001 and my shop is not aware if the 2000 ECM will be able to run the 4l65e since it wasn't in existence in 2000 year. The salvage man who sold me the transmission (deals only in transmissions) says 'no problem, it's the same as a 4l60 with an extra set of plates for strength.' My shop guy who is trying to program this says his computer doesn't show any 'option' in a 2000 ECM for a 4l65e and is stumped. Any help here? Thanks.
Truck has no OBDII codes and no transmission codes per the scanner. Fluid looks great and the trans came with a warranty by the seller because he 'knows the history" on all of his trans, but I don't want to replace if there is something technical I'm missing.

When I had the dealership and repair facility, we had to clean up a lot of these home-brewed swaps.
Depending upon the year and sequence number of the vehicle, the calibrations are different. For instance, one calibration is looking for a certain pressure before enabling a shift, the other calibration is not.
I do not recommend that anyone install a transmission in a vehicle with OBD II, or in most cases OBD I, unless it would be blind to the engine computer.
Sorry, but physically fit and plug in does not equal working properly.

Yeah, 1996 was the mandated first year of OBD II and some makes actually had the unique connector in their 1995 models.
1993 would still be OBD I and for that year, the GM software was fairly sophisticated.
