The easiest way to tell the difference is by checking your vehicle’s year and engine type:

• In 1998, GM introduced the LS1 engine and began using the 4L65.
• By 1999, trucks with 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L LS engines came factory-equipped with the 4L65.
• If your vehicle is 1998 or older and does not have an LS engine, it likely has a 4L60.

Tip: If your vehicle is from 1999+ and has an LS engine, use our 4L65 transmission for proper fitment.

Yes! Our upgraded 4L65 builds are ideal for cammed and even boosted LS-powered vehicles.

• For moderate cams and street use, choose our StreetMonster 4L65 with a stall converter.
• For setups making 450 HP or more, upgrade to our SportMonster or TrackMonster for maximum reliability and performance.

All units are dyno-tested.

Yes — the 4L65 is a stronger version of the 4L60E from the factory.

• It features upgraded internal components including the input shaft, planetaries, and sun shell.
• Designed specifically for LS-based applications and trucks from 1999+.
• Our upgraded versions can handle over 600 HP, with the TrackMonster 4L65 rated for 1000 HP.

While both can be built strong, the 4L65 is the better platform for high-output LS builds.

No reflash or tuning is required for 4L60 or 4L65 replacements in factory applications.

• Simply disconnect the battery during install and clear all DTC/fault codes before driving.
• The vehicle’s PCM will relearn shift strategy automatically.
• We include a full step-by-step guide in our Installation Manual

Proper code clearing and Installation is key to smooth operation and long-term performance.
