Hmm. hadn't lost to one yet, but when I do I'll let you know......LOL
Just get yourself some longtubes, programmer, gears, 17's, and a higher stall converter for starters....

I wouldn't opt for a high-stall converter for your 4wd with 35's. Edge has a HD converter for towing applications that would be a better choice. Re-gearing to 4.10 or 4.56 will give you better low-end grunt, too.

what's the difference with the edge HD converter? what's the stall speed on it?
