Oh almost forgot, the tranny .....dun dun dun. With the E4OD (4 speed auto) it has been known to be plauged with problems. It really is a good transmission....after it has had all the updates to it to strengthen parts, valve body, and such. Make sure the Torque Converted isn't slipping on lock up, hold constant throttle when you are above, say, 45mph (TC should've locked by then) and lightly tap the break at the same time just enough to set off the brake lights. You should see a jump on the Tachometer as the brake lights are set off. When you see the jump let off the brake. The jump is the TC unlocking, I guess it's linked to the brake lights to indicate slowing of the truck. Just make sure the fluid isn't burnt smelling or looking.
