I am not a fan of e4od in nonstock application you'll be on the highway bouncing in and out of od. I would spend the $400 bucks on a higher profile rear tire. The c6 is the finest automatic made.

I agree with Dr.
What are you running for gears?
With a 460 you have enough torque to run lower gears. But of course that all depends what you do with your truck too.

I have 3.50 gears, I agree with everything you guys are saying I just would like to do some 3 or 4 hour trips and it screams good when I am on the highway but I guess I could just slow up a bit and run 2500 and it wouldn't be so bad. All I really do is go to shows and do the odd cruise around southern AB.

Okotoks is great. I live on the North side of Calgary, and I grew up in Airdrie, but I've always liked everything from Okotoks to High River to Longview. That whole area is great.
