Well that depends on what you plan on doing. If you install a trans temp gauge, you will save your trans if it gets hot. No more than 225*, you must pull to the side of the road an let truck sit at a high idle in neutral or park to allow the fluid to circulate and cool. If you notice you are always pulling over due to temps put in a 6.0 cooler. Never run your truck in anything other than tow safe or stock! Or buy a custom chip that has a tow setting for your setup. You are not the first person here to loose a trans on the road due to chip or tuner increases. Most will tell you to put a BTS trans in and you will be set. Obviously you had no choice for your new trans, just remeber you must take it easy when pulling in warm weather, under tc lockup speeds, & on hills. Then you will be ok, also change the fluid every 30k!
