What to do???
I have a friend that has a 2003 F-350 4 door, dually, 4wd, FX4, Lariat, Automatic. She just turned over 101,000 miles, so she has no warranty left. She pulls a 3 horse slant with living quarters quit often. She wants a little more power but is mainly concerned about her transmission not holding up. Do yall have a chip that will add some power and firm up shifts? I want performance that is very reliable.
Thanks.

3rd on the Spartan. Also change the trans fluid every 60K. The torqshift will last along time with proper care.

Just don't push it too hard unless you want to do headgaskets.

Yes, but head safe for one is not always the same for another. People blow head gaskets even without tuning.
