No still stock (has held up for over a year) - it's starting to slip when I down shifted to a lower gear but I am looking at a shop in Dallas to do the 4L80 swap. I will tell you that the beast had no issues pulling up a 7-9% grade for 3+ miles at 55 to 60 mph (an accelerating) on some of the mountain passes. When I had the old 6.0 in the truck with lesser weight it struggled to go passed 30 mph up Eisenhower pass (5% grade I believe)....no issues with power any more and was averaging 7 mph to 5 mph (in the mountains) with a fully loaded trailer and truck. I know I am around 14500 - 1500 GVW with all my crap inside. I'll upload pictures later.
