controlling 4l60e

[dave w]

The quick answer is the 16197427 PCM can be set up to run a "stand alone" 4L60E.

The required signal are as you describe, Tachometer, VSS, TPS, Battery "+ / -" and Ignition On / Start. The original TPS you have could work if it's 0V ~ 5v, might even be able to splice wires in the TPS you have.

there's a guy on this forum working on a very affordable standalone controller, but i think it might be a ways off of being ready?

Ya, I'm still working on the controller. Need to line out a few more items before its ready for the road and time is not my friend at the moment. Still waiting on Steveo to send me the updated code for review. Anywho, here's the thread on my controller project if you're interested or just curious.

awesome, I can wait a couple months, I know the 60e isnt the best option but the 30s worse lol the 60 atleast has the aftermarket support. Looks like ill be looking into making the colo 60 into 60° bell housing a little further. Ill prob be getting a 2.2 trans not just housing so may just swap the input shaft over, not simple but very doable

If you get the 2.2L trans you shouldn't have to swap input shafts. The I6/L5 trailblazer/colorado bellhousings and converters are specific to those engines so I would look for either the 2.2 or V6 bell/converter setup. The trans is going to have to be gone through to change the output shaft for a 4wd unless you find a 2.2L 4wd S-10 trans. And you will have to procure the t-case adapter from the colorado trans if you're wanting to use the isuzu tcase. You might also look at Isuzu Hombre trucks for trans. may have just the setup you're looking for.

The hombre is the sameas a s10, just diffrent grill. I want to use the colorado trans because it has a diffrent valve body and pan that create clearance for the front drive shaft, if I swap tail shafts and use the s10 trans the front shaft will hit the pan. I esentially need to use the colorado trans with the 60° inpur shaft, bell housing and tourque converter. I needed to get both trannys ayway so its just a little more work than expected to adapt it

[buddrow]

You won't need the Colo valvebidy just the pan and filter. The bell is gonna have to be from a 60* v6 or 4cylinder. The I5 and L6 engines are different than the v6. The L6 has the starter hump in a different location and I assume the I5 does as well not to mention the bolt pattern to block is different.
