some pics on ID of 4l60 and 4l80 identification
nvg 3500 is on drivers side, facing up down from shifter
nvg 4500 is on top of tranny facing up at driver side bell housing
RPO
mg5 tranny nvg3500 5lm60 5 speed manual (nvg-new venture gear)
mm5 tranny manual 5 speed w/ OD
mt1 tranny Hydra-Matic 4l80-e 4 speed auto
mt8 tranny nvg4500 5 speed manual
mxo tranny automatic w/OD
m30 tranny Hydra-Matic 4l60-e 4 speed auto
transmission service (change fluid)
severe- under 8600lbs gvwr every 15k miles, over 8600lbs gvwr every 12k miles
normal- under 8600lbs gvwr every 30k miles, over 8600lbs gvwr every 24k miles
capacities
4l60-e drain and fill 4.7l 5 qts after overhaul 10.6l 11 qts
4l80-e " " 4.7l 5 qts " " 10.9l 11.5 qts
nvg4500 manual 3.78l 4 qts
nvg3500 5lm60 2.0l 2.2qts
note 1 as of 6/2008 gm house still recommends dex IV for 2004 truck, however there is much information on dex VI being used instead and is backwards compatable to the 1940's on all GM automatic's-----!!!!!!except autotrakfluid is called for!!!!----any add post on this will be appreciated
Note 2 --many people( including myself) have used the pressure test port on the 4l80 for a tranny temp gauge, per tranny rebuild shops this is a low fluid flow passageway and does not reflect actual real time tranny temps.
note 3 line pressure @ drive,park,neutral 35-171 psi-@ reverse 67-324psi-line pressure will pulse every 10 sec-check procedure chart available
I have a 94 manual and will try to send info(within reason) on tranny diagnosis if PM'd with email-large attachments.
