Limped the stock tranny.

Yes I will have to get rid of the six gun. I am going to keep the EGT probe and hook a EGT gauge to it. I am supposed to get the truck with upgraded tranny back tomorrow.

Factory recommended fluids. Should I use different?

Absolutely it matters are you sure he works with Allisons? Transynd or Amsoil Torque Drive and if you can get it Citgo Quatrasynd . Don't put Dex IV or anything GM recommends. Also since he had to drain the Transfer Case now would be a good time to put in 2qts of 5w30 synthetic motor oil do not put ATF in it at all.
