The trans in your truck is probably a C6, a great HD trans (in its time) but also a big power sucker and no OD. I would at least hope it has a lock up TC but I don't know if they do or not.

If thats all your are hauling IMO you have more motor than you need, I am a tad bit biased I love the 300 and would only replace it with a 4BT.

300=??? is a 4BT a 4 or 5 speed? is a swap to a 5 speed more involved than a set of pedals. also are there any 5 speed trannys that dont have the twin clutch/PP setup? which rear end ratios generally come in these trucks?

If you want better FE get a manual trans a ZF5 would be perfect nice creeper 1st and a .70 overdrive. EOC is the the best way to improve FE manuals are much more eoc friendly.

22 mile trip last night 9.5 miles eoc. I would share the mpg I got on that trip, but no one would believe it.

ok, you have permission. what, is it, that you do that gets you 20 -30 mpg in a truck?
