They are not bad it takes about 2 hours to install. Simple hand tools is all you need.

It will help, more or less a band-aid though. Your converter will be the next weak link...

Like said above it's more or a band aid. It will allow you to hold around 110-120 at the wheels. Those numbers vary if you have larger tires.

I suggest a full trans build if you plan on doing a converter.

What kinda power ya gonna throw at that 09? If your just gonna run a mild tune it should be good, that 6 speed takes a bit more torture than the 5 speed..If your talking TC might as well save up and get the Suncoast IV and be done with it..JMHO

id do the transgo jr to be on the safe side. It might just be a bandaid but its better than nothing. But the first time it slips (when u switch that tune to a 150+) might as well park the truck, i slipped my trans and ever since its been crapy keep de-tuneing it but still dosent help
