    Transmission Compatibility

    What years of the ZF8HP70 are all compatible for a direct swap with a 2014 4x4 3.92 GR? I am thinking about getting a low miles used one to drop in in the next year or two. I think my TQ converter is starting to go and an OEM one is almost as much as what I can find for a used transmission...
