Hello folks,
Can someone tell me the easiest way to determine which model tranny I have in my 2010 Tahoe 4wd, short of crawling under the dirty thing and looking at the pan shape? It is a VIN Code 0 truck.
Thanks!

Check the RPO codes in the glove box. You can find a list to check against at

Thank you. Evidently all 5.3 liter 4wd Tahoes have a 6L80 from that year. I find it amusing to read all of the $7,000 and $5,000 dealer quotes for GM crate engines and 6L80 transmissions on these forums, when the GM Powertrain Catalog
http://gmpowertrain.nexpart.com/#b has the 5.3 Litre engine for $3,834.44 and the 6L80 Transmission for $2,573.25, both with a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty.
I assume a lot of dealers must have "difficulty" replacing engines and transmissions, reflected by high Labor costs added-in to get to $7,000 for an engine swap:893karatesmiley-thu.
I really, really hate getting RIPPED OFF. Sorry, Had to Rant a bit.
