how was the trans fluid when it gave out? Think a trans cooler would be good?

you might wanna consider lower gears, tall tires and stock gears puts more stress on your trans.

my s/c killed my shit kit/servo trans in 8 months lol. upgrading to a big trans cooler wouldn't hurt at all i run a tru-cool max 30000 btu cooler it made a huge difference. it only costs about 100$~ or so. good insurance imo especially if you tow or are a hard driver

Well guys i am home with the truck now.. this transmission is so solid.. the shift kit feels great, the new stall rpm torque converter keeps the truck in a great power band and shift point.. the cruise RPMs dropped a 2-300.. 40mph 1,100 ish.. 65 1,600 70 1,800.. the low end power feels alot stronger and better torque delivered.. the truck is a tad slower off the line but has more strength climbing the highway hills.. and feels like it uses less power or used the power more efficiently to turn the tires and accellerate.. I am very happy with the results..

I installed a 20,000 GVW series Trans Cooler.. and in the process of removing the factory one the end broke so good thing i had the part to replace it...
