What are you doing pulling that much weight with a 3/4 ton truck? You're 10,000 lbs over what those trucks are rated to pull. You will fry that transmission pretty quickly doing that. Take the 8k it would take to do a fully built transmission and put it towards a truck that is designed to pull that much weight.
