No you got that backwards lol, the E40D is just an electronically controlled C6 with some changes and an overdrive in it, the AOD if I remember right is based off the old cruise-o-matic transmissions, those were medium duty transmissions, the AOD always came off to me as a cheap weak transmission though lol.

Yeah, I wouldn't want a fully electronic controlled transmission, but I did buy some gauge needle paint

Actually the AOD trans was good to me... My uncle did about 20-40k miles driving and heavy scraping like 1500-2000 lbs every time.. And he actually blew reverse at the scrapyard lol... So I don't think he did too bad if it lasted 109k miles

Haha gas savings. Joke of the day right there, there is no savings with TGM. I could make Bill Gates go bankrupt with this monster 
In other news, anyone ever hear of a NS Switch overheating and not working, then working the next day? That is what's happening now. I went to the bank and got some cash, and when I went to leave it wouldn't start, but afterwards it started in park every time. Funny how things fix themselves.

My truck got 7-10 MPG when I took it to the exhaust shop, by the way that guy kind of pissed me off, he barely gave me the time of day. I pretty much wasted a gallon of gas to get there and back, oh well at least the truck got taken out for a little drive.
