so i just recieved my pacesetters lt's and ory today and i dont want to put them on untill i have pretty much everything i can think of to increase power and reliabilty of the tranni. about 2 years ago i threw in a transgo hd2 shift kit and vette servo, and one of the gaskets on the servo got hung up and created an internal leak causing the whole tranni to go. so my tranni is back to stock now except i think the guy at the dealership said he upped the line preasure a little bit for me. i already have a bassani cat-back on my truck along w/ an AFE cai. besides the shift kit, servo, and custome tune, what else am i missing and that i can add to increase power and reliabilty? i dont want to worry about cams or superchargers and turbos right now. just the simple stuff. i dont know how much power my trani can take even after the shift kit, so i'll put off the hardcore stuff for right now. is there more i can add to the tranni or is the shift kit and servo pretty much it? my truck is a '05 5.3 1/2ton crewcab 2wd. thanks.

 

Hey man, if you want to make sure your transmission can handle your upgrades, get in touch with a sponsor on the right -->

you got finish line transmission, performabuilt transmissions, and alot of other companies that would be willing to help you out. I dont think the mods you listed really would put a damper on a stock tranny.

you can get a "built" transmission, i think companies even offer different stages.

If you want power, but you dont want to get hardcore with it, stick with your basic bolt-ons.

CAI, LT Headers, and a tune, and your already rockin. you say u have your headers and ory, a cat back system, and a cai already, so now ur kinda stuck where i am! My next move is gears, and a locker, help get my CC moving.

stick with these boltons and then you will have to go to either internal engine work or forced induction or nitrous

 

Just put a big Hayden cooler on it. I'm still on my stock 4L60E with almost 200k total miles. 60k with the 6.0, and about 10k with the Radix. I wouldn't worry about an extra 20 hp from the headers.
