Hey guys I just bought a 92 ram 350 with an auto. As a rule I'm against buying a truck to pull with that has an automatic but I couldn't pass on it for the price and the miles at 140,000. I have a 30 ft flatbed gooseneck that I pull and I'm wondering besides wanting to boost the power a little bit nothing crazy what do I need to do to this transmission to get to hopefully 200,000. The previous owner pulled a 5th wheel camper with the truck and it seems to shift nice and solid now. Fluid looks fairly fresh and I pulled my other truck back across the state of Minnesota with out any troubles. Wat do ya think?

 

If you leave it alone powerwise your tranny probably has a pretty good chance of making at least another 60,000 miles or probably more, If you start herding more ponies out of you engine than I would look into getting some kind of aftermarket billet converter and if nothing else a trans temp gauge is a must. And drive it like an adult, keep up on changing the tranny fluid and you should be just fine

 

converter and VB and you will be fine. it will drive like a totally different truck.
