The OEM torque converter seems to have improved the performance of the truck too, it feels like there is less power loss in the trans + TC. With the recently added cooler I just hope this trans keeps working the way it has so far. I also purchased a B&M shift kit (10025) and expect to have it here next sunday. This should also help the trans and reduce wear, right?.

P.S.: Pics of the carnage of my previous trans soon, the poor thing...
A good proper rebuild SHOULD come with updated valves and some sort of shift improver kit

Read my location again please... The updated parts are there, but there won't be any shift kit, even less at that price, it would be absurd.
