Q: Auto trans replacement
I would like to know what other years of 4t65e transmissions can i put in this van. Auto wreckers says I have to use one from this year. However, I have the 3BCB code chart and it matches with some other years but there must still be other issues. Perhaps wiring harnesses and electrical pin connectors. So, what other years can I put in and use some pieces from mine to make one out ot two. I'm looking at a 2004 Venture transmission for replacement so what could be the problem. Thanx in advance, Bill
