I'm running an SCT SF3.What's the best transmission strategy for transmission performance and longevity? Do increased line pressures, hard (stout) shifts and early torque converter lock ups add or take away from transmission life. I'm not towing and I use a light foot all the time.

At very slow acceleration rates, what speed does the converter lock-up in overdrive for you and does it stay locked when off the throttle above lock-up speed?

06 XL 250 6.0 Auto 4x4 Shortbox, Ex-Cab, 200k miles, ARP studs w/o-ring heads from South Houston Engine Services, IPR Remote Oil Cooler and filter, SCT tuner with ID and Gearhead Tunes, PHP FICM tuner, FICM from ficmrepair.com, DC Power alternator, 3.5" downpipe to Magnaflow 4" exhaust. ELC coolant, 2" leveling kit with 20's. She's a runner now!:jester:

EBC slotted and dimpled front rotors with EBC YellowSTuff Pads, solid rear rotors/YellowStuff pads. Good stuff!

95 XLT SC 4X4, 3.55, 5 spd, 317k miles, Bullydog extreme chip, Maddog Stage II 160cc injectors, Tymar Intake, 4" exhaust, Walker BTM,H-Max DP, exhaust brake, LUK, 2.5 lift with 285's on 8 Weld Typhoons/air bags.

In the picture...my old 2 wheel drive powerstroke with stage 2 injectors. I sure miss that truck. 20mpg consistantly for 200k miles.
