I jus pulled my trans out. It has 274k miles on it. I believe the sunshell cracked. I bought this from my sister cheap since she was jus letting it sit. I want to do some head work, cam and possibly a stall. Not trying to make it fast but I want a nice lope. Lol. Won't be doing any major towing. Sxs and 4 wheelers mainly. Jus looking for opinions on part kits and advice. 273e95a868580658ebac83b11097dff6.jpg0a910ce8b1ee616414e325b2fe42d039.jpg

I did everything you mentioned, except for the head work. I also swapped in a 6.0. I assume you have the 5.3?

Yeah it has the 5.3. It runs good for the miles. Is that a good trans kit to invest in?

Bumping for a real update. I dropped the trans off finally after it sitting under the truck for months ready to. Trans guy said the planetarys were destroyed so all that got replaced along with new clutches and all that. Stock rebuild because I decided not to do anything crazy with it. I should be picking it up Friday. Which means I should install it this weekend if I don't distracted. Lol. Anyways. Mine has the auxiliary trans cooler. Would anyone recommend me upgrading to a tru cool or just use what I have and blow the piss out if the lines with the air compressor

Decided on the tru cool 40k. Gonna order it next week so it may be a couple of weeks before I put it back in. Gonna replace the rear main seal cover before I install also. 6dcd2a97b189e14ec28bf48666ccd6cc.jpg

I went with a tru cook 40k unit for my 2006 and it was the best money spent! I hated seeing temps up near 200 degrees. Now I rarely ever see temps above like 150 unless I’m sitting in really heavy stop n go traffic. The tru cool is an excellent choice!
