[QUOTE="dcara, post: 444301, member: 473"] Even though I just put a 2nd tranny in my 7.3L 99F250PSD auto 4x4, I wouldn't trade it for anything... yet. That may change some day but with 101k on it, its just getting broke in so I put a set of gauges in it a couple weeks ago (Tranny, Boost and Pyro on the A-Pillar) to start taking better care of it given the prices and problems the diesels have had the past few years. I've got other mods planned also to help it live up to its life and capability potential which will still be way cheaper than buying a new one. The auto tranny has always been the weak link but I used the last tranny failure back in June to upgrade the Torque Converter. Even with that the new temp gauge is telling me I still need more tranny cooling if I want this one to last longer given my usage. I'm currently looking for one of the larger coolers used in the 01's or later 6.0's since that seems to be one of the few things they did right on the 6.0. I've heard there are some synthetic tranny fluids that conduct heat better but I haven't identified a specific one yet. [/QUOTE]
