You have an E4OD.. look for trans code E on the drivers door pillar, and it's better than a C6 with it's lockup torque converter and a 4th gear.

Check your gear indicator
AOD- P R N D OD 2 1
E4OD-P R N D 2 1, with the option to turn OD on\off
C6- P R N D 2 1

Thank you guys I must have the E40D and I think I know what the locking torque converter dose but...... What dose that and why is it a benefit? Also I have 3.08 gears not sure how I feel about that yet

Locking torque converter reduces engine rpm at cruise speeds which increases gas milage and it also reduces transmission oil temperatures. With the E4OD this is controlled by the powertrain control module or computer.

3.08 gears are pretty sucky, the good news is you would have no problem finding a truck with 3.55 gears in a scrapyard and swapping in the whole rear axle is a pretty easy job.

He'd need to do both the front and back, correct? He did say it is a 4x4
