what do ya think, should i go to synthetic...? benifits? drawbacks?

Big $$. Whats it hold 10 qts@ 7-8.00/qt. run a big ass cooler and it will last a 100k. IMO spend the $ on the cooler.

You should be changin it otfen enuf that the xtra $$$ isnt worth it

that was my thoughts, change it often enough, and yes cooler is important..... wanted to see who was on the same page.... :D

No they hold like 16 quarts. don't do it normal fluid works fine just if you tow or wheel the truck change the fluid more often than normal. like every 8 months. Do not allow the fluid to burn. The converter has a drain plug also. you should also install a plug in the pan.
