I guess its a 7.3 motor, you didn't say.


larger trans pan would be on my list.


look into water methanol kits which would boost power and lower heat.


there are a lot of performance tuners out there, but none reduce heat while increasing power.

Hauling that kind of weight every day, you should consider a bigger truck.

A larger trans pan on a zf6? Besides, even on an automatic they are a waste of money
