   Both of those have the 4L60 automatics. They're told to shift by the   
   computer, rather than engine vacuum. The computer has a been programmed   
   with all kinds of 'look ups' for it to reference; such as air fuel ratios   
   at certain levels of sensor input.

   Neither of the above could be considered a truck. They're more like hard   
   work capable, smooth riding SUVs. And gas guzzlers to the mileage freaks.   
   I'm in the market for one of those.
