S 10 4X4 Question

Sorry I forgot to mention that I have a 1988 blazer with A/T. So will these
swap out of any 2.8 or are they year specific?
Thanks

wiring in the pan changed between 85 and 86

changes are:

pre-86, TC solenoid is fed voltage thru brake switch to solenoid, which had
other end grounded

86-up, solenoid is fed voltage thru brake switch, other end is grounded by
ECM

putting a pre 86 transmission in an 86-up vehicle will cause immediate
lock-up upon shift to 2nd gear

86-up transmission in pre-86 vehicle will give NO lock-up and probably toast
it on the first long highway trip

Also unless I am mistaken, the V6 60degree engines have their own bolt
pattern (as doc said) so he can ONLY look at 2.8L beasts, as well as
now he has too look at years. Make sure to find out the year of the
tranny, not the vehicle. Just because it's in there doesn't mean it's
the right year, or wired correctly.
