Goerand triple disk torque converter. Valve body. Or if you use all your money on the torque converter get a shift kit.

Get a transmission temp probe. And possibly a TC Lockup switch if your towing down hill and you want to use the engine as a extra brake.

What gearing do you have in the rear?

And keep in mind if you upgrade all this and have some power infront of it you may need a flex plate and input shaft.

If I'm not mistaken then you have 4.10s. At 2100rpms I'm at 75 and I have 3.55s on 285s

How heavy do you tow? what are your Horsepower goals in the future? Are you ever going to Race or sled pull with the truck. Answer these questions and I can help point you in the right direction, as what works of one person may not be the best for the next person. Plus you can go way over kill and spend money on something that you will never ever use.
