4R100 Upgrades?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Truck is 00 7.3 4wd 77k miles.
I have been working on getting the truck fully serviced and "entry level" modded. Runs great. I have no intention on anymore mods such as injectors, bigger turbo etc at this time. That said, its time to service the transmission. It has a good kick into 3-4 and is ready for a fluid change. With my current mods I figure its time for some upgrades. Other than fresh mercon v and a motorcraft filter....what mods should I look into? When im searching, see alot of "woods" valve body and sonnex parts. Any advice based on my mods would be greatly appreciated! Mostly looking for reliability and fun drive-ability (arent we all)

Mods:
Cold Air intake / 4" turbo back exhaust / Bellowed up pipes
EBPV Delete / Pedestal / AIH delete
Blue Fuel spring/housing etc
Hpop lines and crossover
Wicked Wheel 2
PHP Hydra (oem tunes)
Hutch / Harpoon / external filter mods
EBP tube., CPS, ICP, sensors all replaced oem
Mishimoto trans cooler
Full ELC coolant / filter setup
Anymore info needed please let me know.
I am able to do my own wrenching, for the most part.

Looks like you already have the Mishimoto Transmission cooler so that's a good start.

Do you have a Radiator with Oil to water cooler?

Yes all those mods listed are installed and working. At the tranny now.

Radiator with Oil to water cooler? Never heard that one. I have factory radiator setup for 00 7.3.

The engine radiator in the second half of 2000 had a transmission cooler in the cold side of the radiator. 1999 and the first half of 2000 did not have a transmission cooler in the radiator. The cooler in the radiator is a VERY effective cooler.

Yes, yours is an early 2000.

If you ever need to replace the radiator I recommend one with a transmission cooler inside. It will make a big difference in your transmission temps, especially at low speeds, such as backing a trailer.

Really appreciate the info. Is there a write up posted somewhere?

Having a hard time searching for the term "oil to water cooler" - Search results give oil in coolant threads. Others are about the trans cooler swaps....
