thanks guys for all the help. Wasn't near as bad as i thought to do. I go it full forward now. Its got a lot more power when it shifts into overdrive. I was wondering what would be a good replacment plate for me if i want good mileage and still be able to get on it when i want some power or smoke?

Since your truck is a Auto a #10 would probably be safest... but a #100 is okay if you just watch your throttle...

don't get a replacement plate, you can grind the OEM one for free... look at my post above... when you get the plate out it will make sense...

I'm running a #10 plate from an eBay seller that works great. Not too much smoke and towing is vastly improved. Cost was good, under $30 shipped.

If I were just looking to lay into a sled or drag race, I'd dump the plate all together, but for driving long distances with a load, I figure the partial de-fueling at the cruise part of the pump ramp would be a good thing. I only have to worry about EGT at full throttle.

I'm waiting on the next round of transmission mods to slide stuff forward...
