K1500 4X4 Suburban 4L60E Trans Replacement in 7 Hours

No time to rebuild the original 4L60E Trans in the Suburban. I broke it playing in snow drifts in 4wd High & buried it up to the frame rails.
Lasted 330,000 miles.
Just 2 years of 4L60E Transmissions bolt into 1994 K1500 4X4 Suburban. 1993 & 1994. Must be a 4wd version.
I found one on Craigslist. I drove to Wisconsin last weekend in the wife's Honda CRV during a Big Snowstorm to pick up the used replacement. An Adventure in itself. Like a Suicide Mission.
From a 1993 K1500 4wd GMC Pickup with 153,000 miles. A gearhead like us has a private fenced in junkyard of his own & parts out vehicles on occasion.
Its a Good thing I got the job done last Sunday because the Honda CRV burnt an exhaust valve come later in the week on her driving it. Got it stuck in deep snow & floored it to get out at 7K RPM's Ramming though a few hundred feet of 2 feet deep snow. Sputtering & spitting Missing soon afterwards. :? :roll:

Give You a parts list used later Grumpy.
The Transmission Tag codes real important to match up in OEM applications shown. 1st Digit Numeral is the model year.
Both transmissions have the "K" Case used. Extra thick Aluminum around Bellhousing area & Trans tunnel Funnel areas. Many Vette guys seak them for heavy duty use.
