4L65E Frequently Asked Questions
Can I replace my 4L60E with a 4L65E?
Yes, it is possible to replace a 4L60E transmission with a 4L65E, although they are separate distinct models of transmission. The 4L65E, for example, received many internal part upgrades from GM. You can upgrade and swap with no hassle using our expertly rebuilt and remanufactured 4L65E transmissions.
How much horsepower can a stock 4L65E handle?
A stock 4L65E transmission can handle approximately 400 HP. However, a reliable transmission builder such as our shop can upgrade your 4L65E to a higher horsepower rating. Level two rated 4L65E’s can handle up to 450 HP, level three can go up to 500 HP, and level fours can handle up to 650 HP.
What vehicles have a 4L65E?
Some vehicles that use 4L65E transmissions include everything from the GMC Yukon Denali, GMC Sierra Denali, 2002 Isuzu Axiom, Cadillac Escalade, 2005 C6 Corvette, Hummer H2, Chevrolet Silverado SS, Holden Crewman 2004, and 2005-2006 Pontiac GTOs.
Will a 4L65E bolt up to a 350?
Yes, a 4L65E has an electronically controlled OD (outer diameter) designated by the “E” in the model and therefore will bolt up to a TH350. The primary difficulty is then upgrading your transmission controller and adjusting gear ratios, as required. A GM adapter kit may be required to ensure proper compatibility.
4L65E History & Information
The 4L65E is an automatic transmission from General Motors (GM) with stronger internals compared to the 4L60E model. It includes 4 forward gears, 1 reverse gear, and is designed for longitudinal engines.
When looking back at the history of this transmission model series, we’re brought back to the year 1982 when the Turbo-Hydramatic 700 (TH700) was still produced. The 4L65E transmission is GM’s electronically commanded iteration on the original TH700. Regarding the production of 4L65E’s, the Toledo Transmission plant in Toledo, Ohio as well as the Romulus Transmission Plant in Romulus, Michigan is where these transmissions are typically built within the United States.
Looking at the 4L65E and 4L60E from the outside, they look exactly the same. Even though they share the same parts on their exteriors, the 4L65E has stronger internal components, including five pinion planets compared to the 4L60E’s four. The torque converters and input shafts of these models are also different, with slight differences in input shaft length and converter design.
Coupled behind the 6.0 Vortec in the year 2001, the 4L65E was released as an upgrade to the 4L60E. The resulting 4L65E transmission was rated for 380 ft-lb of torque in its stock configuration. GM went on to also produce the 4L80E and 4L85E transmissions which were used for more heavy-duty applications and had beefed up internals.
When it comes to transfer cases this transmission is easily compatible with numerous cases and came from the factory with several different units. The most commonly mated transfer cases for this transmission are the NV149, NV246, BW4481, BW4484, and BW4494.
Vehicle models that utilize the 4L65E transmission include:
- Cadillac Escalade
- Chevrolet Silverado SS
- 2005 Chevrolet Corvette (single-year model)
- GMC Yukon Denali
- GMC Sierra Denali
- 2004 Holden One Tonner
- 2004 Holden Crewman
- VZ 6.0 Holden Commodore
- Hummer H2
- 2005-2006 Pontiac GTO
- VZ HSV Clubsport
The heavier-duty components in the 4L65E transmission make it ideal for cars and trucks that require additional strength and performance. It should be noted that this transmission has a twin with a speed sensor located in the pump and it is called the 4L70E transmission. Other than that, the 4L65 and 4L70 transmissions are considered identical.
If you have a 4L65E transmission you’d like to swap out with a used or rebuilt transmission, or if you currently own a 4L65E that you’d like rebuilt from scratch with high-quality components, we’re equipped and ready to help!
