I’m always looking for possible parts in my area.
Saw this today, I have no experience with the later model stuff.
I’m not asking about the price, I always negotiate.
It’s the trans itself, year, etc..
What do you think?

Id buy that in a heart beat, assuming it passes my inspections, if it was here in Vegas (id still offer a little less than asking price, to be clear)...That's a 99+ 4L80E so it has all the updates made to those units starting in 1997 and is preferred for high perf applications over the 91-96 units.

Thanks Nick
That’s exactly what I thought, but wasn’t sure.
I see these going for much more all the time.
I’ll try to get with the guy early tomorrow.

Hey Nick, just to educate the uninformed (me), what do you figure it would take cost-wise to have someone rebuild a 4L80 with 350k miles and add a quality stand-alone controller?

I can only speak for me but a solid, comprehensive rebuild (stock to mild/moderate performance or duty use) with my usual updates/upgrades and new torque converter is $2750.00 for all years 4L80E. Cost to install the controller would be a product of book labor time (hrs) and rate. Here, our rates are between $125-$175/hr.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

I missed this one, but it wasn’t something I needed right now anyway.

I grabbed this clean 2000 MY Goodwrench 4L80E from my hard parts supplier for $400, also a solid price relative to the going 'core' rate around here.
