Default What trans for me?

I just killed my 60e today. It lasted me much longer than I had expected. When my truck is all done it will be on 37's with 4.56's or 4.88's being pushed by atleast what I have now which is a 5.3 with a radix. I WILL beat it up in the desert but I want to be able to take it on the highway too. Would an FLT lvl 5 70e work for me? What would you guys recommend?

You can't put a price tag on piece of mind. I absolutely love my 4L80E. In all honestly its really a performance upgrade going to a 4L80E. The taller first gear helps keep wheel spin under control from a take off and being able to do a 0-60 run in 1st is just plain cool. Not to mention under normal circustances its pretty much not going to break and when they do it always seems to be more apply device related then broken $$$$ hard parts like with the 60Es.
