How much power are you looking to put down, with your build?
The stock 5R110 can handle builds upto around 500RWHP, as long as its tuned correctly, and not have any issues. I've been running tuned with X-Race for 20K+ miles, and haven't had any transmission issues to date. If you are going bigger than that, you can look at a new Torque Converter, haven't heard many doing much else to these transmissions on DD level builds.

The first question is what is your goal with the truck? DD, race, tow pig, etc.? BTS makes good trannys I am told. There is also Twisted or RCD or Suncoast. Or you could check out ATD in Germantown. WI is far from you but... here is my review so far:

Not recently, but I've been running the Suncoast TC, and Superduty Kit for 70k miles. No issue yet.

I have done lots of reading on the 5r 110 trans. i would like a better torque converter with a lower stall speed, and rebuild the trans.
really this upgrade is for relaibilty and towing.

Go with a BTS or Suncoast IMHO. Or if you're shooting for huge power NADP

With a better torque converter( which slips less than a stock converter) and better clutch packs, you should see improvement in mpg, unless you step on the skinny pedal too hard too often
 , maybe that is the reason for decrease tire lifeQuote:
