Word of advice from a 300,000 mile 6.2 owner.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Convert the truck to a NV4500 manual. There are kits out there to do this. There are NV4500s with GM bellhousings.

It's get better MPG and you'll avoid the heartbreak of slow-revving diesels destroying car-type automatics.

I went through SEVEN automatics with my 6.2. My much stronger 7.3 is on the OEM clutch at 283,000 miles.
