I live in Estern Idaho and we have lots ov mountain passes around. The Pickup has about 119K on it and I am pretty sure the tranny has never been rebuilt. It has that 4l60r or whatever that is (cant remember. E4OD replacment). But I know the tranny is starting to have problems. The first time I Drained and flushed it, it was burnt and had some crap around the magnets. Cleaned it all up, filled her up and added some Lucas Tranny helper.everything feels good and tight, but I notice tranny slipping when I get to the campsite and am trying to manuver the trailer where we want it, I have had to start putting it in 4x4 low to get it to crawl over lil hils, rocks, the typical things. I know I need a larger cooler for it, but what if anything can I do to the tranny to help it last until I can save the 3+grand to have it rebuit. I have the hypertech tuner, but didn't play with the shift points (was told thats a no no for that tranny). Is there anything I can replace inside without pulling the tranny to help it last through winter and maybe get a lil more gription?? I have NEVER liked automatics in pickups, but ya have to special order them now days with the manual!

ANY HELP would be applied!!!
