It’s in the option code sheet. I doubt that you have the 4L80/85E series in that truck. I remember the one code, MT1, but I can’t remember what the other code was. Ian
Response:
1500 is a light truck and has the 4l60. Not effected by this "recall"

My GMC dealer said this didn’t apply to my 2004 GMC 1500 SLT Sierra. Hope that’s true. He said it was for the 2500 series. Anybody following this problem? Sunday, March 14, 2004 GM halts sales of some ‘04 models Faulty pump produces transmission failure in pickups, SUVs, vans By Ed Garsten / The Detroit News DETROIT – A problem that could cause transmissions to fail in some 2004 full-size pickup trucks, SUVs and vans led General Motors Corp. to temporarily stop shipping the vehicles from assembly plants on Friday. The company also asked dealers not to sell or deliver the trucks to customers. The transmissions, produced at GM’s Willow Run transmission plant, could fail because of a faulty pump that may prevent lubrication from reaching overdrive gearset bearings, according to GM spokeswoman Debbie Frakes. The problem does not pose a safety issue, she said. About 25,000 vehicles may be affected, said Frakes. Of those, 8,000 have been delivered to customers and another 1,700 are in transit between assembly plants and dealers. The company believes only about 2,000 vehicles actually have the problem, said Frakes. The problem was corrected at the transmission plant and the six assembly plants that build the Chevrolet Express and Silverado, GMC Suburban, Sierra, Savana and Yukon XL and W4 medium duty truck, resumed production late Friday. However, every truck coming off assembly lines and in plant holding lots is being inspected before they are released for delivery to dealerships and customers. Dealers must also inspect vehicles they have in stock. GM is urging owners to have their vehicles inspected at a dealership service center at no cost. Until they do, owners are being told to use third gear rather than overdrive.
