the emissions recall is nothing to worry about alot of people hacked the stuff of and straight piped them so no worries there as far as the trany goes if your not going to hot rod it and mke tons of power a stock trans will do fine now towing heavy alot with it you will want to look at upgraded tc and vb or at least a shift kit to firm up the shifting auto transmissions will eventually wear out its fact of life but regular service and tacking care of them extends the life another thing i think is a must is a deep sump trans pan with a drain plug makes it easier to service and extra fluid helps keep it cool just trying to help you out and see what to expect hope it helped
