Hi I am new to this forum and was looking for advise for a tranny upgrade or a transgo jr shift kit. I have a 2004.5 LLY dually that I've owned for around 3 years now with 180000 on it with 4 inch mbrp with front pipe, air intake, afe turbo inlet pipe, bull dog power pup with the performance tune (85 hp tune) egr blocker plate . I have a feeling if I put anymore parts into it I am going to limp the trans. I'm not looking for a ton more hp till I get it paid off. I am averaging around 21 mpg unloaded and 16 mpg with my 6000 pound trailer. Does anybody have similar mods that has tranny upgrade, or are they still running a stock trans? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Trans upgrade in future.

I know I want a fass pump, down pipe, maybe a new wheel for the turbo. I do want to go up one more tune but I know that will push it.
I would build the trans before you do the other stuff. That's the next thing on my list of to do's also.
Depending on how hard you drive the truck your current tuning will eventually hurt the trans. They are much better/cleaner options available for tuning. A trans go jr won't do much for your 5 speed.
Get it built by big dipper. He does the best work. Guy before me went through a couple " built trannys" before he had it built right by big dipper. Its held up for years on 900hp.
George is 15 minutes from me. I still towed a truck to Evan 6hrs away a few weeks ago. Must have been a hell of build for 900 to last years.
