I would recommend at least the L4. An L3 wouldn't last long behind my 5.3L. If your daily driving is remotely close to my definition, you better spend the extra dinero.

Our level 5 build is a 4l65e based unit. The main difference in the two units is the difference in the planetary sets. The level 5 comes with 5 pinion gear sets where the level 4 comes with 4 pinion gear sets. Also on the level 5 we use a carbon lined wide band and also a sonnax 4th servo. Currently the level 5 is on sale for $2450 with free round trip shipping. Vince

I personally would look at the level 4. However the level 3 unit is a very good unit the advantage of the level 4 is it comes with a sleeved input drum and also bearing style FLT beast shell. In truck applications I like to see you guys with sleeved drums that is why I would recommend the level 4 over the 3. Vince

Wait so how do you warranty them? If it blows up for any reason within 6 months you replace it?

I'm pretty easy on my trans. ha. Most people told me the stock trans would last 2 weeks aftere the 6.0 swap. 6 months later, and 146k total miles, its still alive.

We warranty units for six months on recommended builds. If you do not race this thing and it is just a DD, I would have no problem building you a level 3. Please give us a call to discuss your options. Vince

I'd be less worried bout the power output of the headers. And more so by that 6.0L, esp. if u add shot. But then again, I overbuild so i get rid of future worries.
