Thanks for the reply.
The pans are identical.
I picked up a dipstick from a 2000 with a 6.0l and the same trans. it is slightly shorter but still feels like it is bottoming out.
The only way I'm going to be certain is order a new one from the dealer for $56 using the last 8 numbers of the VIN...
Thanks for all the replies!
2000 donor 4L80e was a successful install, 30 test miles so far.
In checking Trans fluid level, It seems the dipstick is "bottoming out' about 1, 1-1/2" before red locking tab is seated.
I tried a Chevy dealer (giving last 8#'s of the VIN), but all they can tell me...
Possible 2000 donor is a slightly shorter delivery rig with a much larger diameter DL, mine has a 2 piece (15 passenger van).
I had a DL modified years ago on a different 1ton,that might be cheaper/easier than trying to swap the tailpiece??
Thoughts?

Please forgive this long post.
My transmission knowledge is limited, replacing filters and fluids, and pull and replace. Looking at a vehicle that had fluids and filter...
