if you want to stay with an automatic then i would switch to a 47rh so that you can get a lockup TC or swap to a nv4500-nv5600-g56 stick shift

if you dont want to swap trans then i would put a new tc in with alot lower stall speed.

also fill out your sig so that we can see the current mod's that you have already done

With your non lockup tc your best towing investment will be in the transmission

Sent with a Droid RAZR in one hand and 14,000 volts in the other.

First thing you should tell us is how much money are you looking to spend. I'd also like to know just how far do you want to tear into the truck.
