I'm happy with the 4.7 in my 04, but wasn't to happy with the tranny, and the way it shifted. There is a speed shop about an hour from me that does engine and tranny modifications called Brougher's. I called them, and he said to bring it in, and he'd "tweek" the tranny. He told me not to waste the money doing anything to it. Being it is electronic, he could program the shift points. He used a lap top and did so until I was happy. When you pull out now, it will keep on pulling until you very slightly let off the gas. Also, if your kinda getting on it, it will shift into second , and the truck pulls like crazy. I'm real happy I had that done. Feels like an old day shift kit was installed, and only cost $50. The Tech said the newer tranny's will take a beating if you keep clean fluid and filters in them.

i was looking at the extreme s10...but he wanted to much for it and nothing for my truck
and there was the idea of getting a honda RR600..but he sold it b4 i could get the money
either way...im installing a shiftkit and a tuner for the trans...and probably HO cams/intake for the engine
