TS 6pos and my tranny came out of a 7.3 with 420000 miles on it and I have put it through hell. It still shifts great.

The auto's in stock form are not extremely durable. I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it's showing signs of slipping or things like that...

Some of the sponsors could hook you up...

Yes an EGT gauge is a good thing to have before messing with the fueling of your truck..

Not hard to install at all, just takes a little prepwork on the PCM...

this might be a dumb question but what is the pcm? and it shifts fine. first to second gear is really firm.

PCM is the Powertrane Control Module, (the engine and trans computer).
