Yea, it has the usual drawbacks but the OD was needed so I could use it long distance. Started out with a TH400 and 2.48 first, but a $200 700r4 in good condition was too good to pass up. They don't like to downshift from OD, but I tweaked it so it will at full throttle.

Anyway, thanks guys for the info! Pulling the truck apart here to paint in the next month or two, so doing some upgrades while I have easy access.
