At least the converter and valvebody, although your trans is already on borrowed time from the factory.

I put in a set of 150's and my trans didnt last a week. Call dave g and get a full built trans with his tc and you will be set for whatever you got for it

x2 just got a Dave built trans over the weekend and the difference is night and day (Tq converter, VB, stock 48re input/vs billet, new band and other stuff, much cheaper to have him build yours then all new if you can drive or ship it to him). Also loose the pressure light, go for a real gauge. You want to be able to see pressure loss not just an idiot light telling you oops went too low.

How many miles do you have on your truck and what do you do with it everyday. And how far do you plan on modding this truck. If you plan on going further than just 100hp injectors a full built unit with a billet input is gonna be a must. A converter and vavle body might do the job depending on your trans condition but if you plan on keeping the truck a long time probably best to have a full rebuild exchange. His baseline trans start at $3550 Any questions feel free to ask.
