When I bought the UglyTruck 2000 Silverado 1500, the stock 4L60 was toast. I believe the band was broken which meant no 2nd or 4th gear. Clearly a replacement transmission was required because it had 324,000 miles on it, but I knew I would need something a little stronger than a 4l60 for what I had planned, which would later turn out to be a 496 big block 8.1 vortec. So I had no intention of rebuilding the 4l60, instead, I opted for the much stronger 4L80. In this video I go over some of the changes which are needed to bolt a 4l80e in place of a 4l60 in an LS powered Silverado. These steps for the most part work for 1999 to 2007 GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado for both 2wd and 4wd trucks, but can also work for other years as well. If you are trying this swap on a 4wd however, you will need a different input shaft for the transfer case, as the 4l60 has a 27 spline and the 4l80 uses a 32 spline output.
This video covers the installation of the transmission, which includes the different flexplate and spacer required, as well as modifications to the crossmember which is needed to allow the new trans to bolt into place, because the rear mount is several inches further back on the 4l80e than is is on the 4l60
