After buying my truck back in 97 and it coming with a 700R4 and 2.73 gears, I would say a 700R4 is a better combo if and only if you have a lower gear. I now have 3.73 gears and the 700R4 is perfect. If you have a high gear like I did stock, it's just about a waste of time to have OD. It won't stay in OD unless you are going down a freeway anyway. This is the simple reason most of the stock 700R4 truck owners hate them. They didn't last because of always going in and out of lock all the time, thus causing heat and burning them up. On top of this, if you even thought about towing in OD, it would kill it in a heartbeat.
