4l80e with stand-alone controller

I know they are rare, what are they worth, if it just happened to be sitting on one.....?

I know they only really came in 91 3/4 ton burbs and crew cabs, right?

If it's a gas motor, then it's controlled by the computer, not a stand alone. Diesels up to 94 IIRC got the stand alone ECM, non turbo'd.

Good thread.

So if a guy could come up with a stand alone controller set up for a diesel, could a guy get it reprogrammed somewhere to raise the shift points for a big block? I would imagine, with the diesel programming you'd never get it to shift past about 3,200rpm's with a gas engine.

The question is probably one of economics....

If the standalone controller is truly rare, it will presumably sell for a lot of money...add to that, whatever costs to get someone to re-flash it for a gas application and I wonder if most people wouldn't be better off just buying a standalone 3rd-party controller.

That thread about the CompuShift brand controller certainly caught my attention!

There is a thread on this where we discussed the standalone diesel/4L80E stuff in-depth, I believe prices for the ECM even came up. Could be wrong on that, but IIRC, it IS a pricey one.
