The only downside I can think with a TH400 is being big and heavy. But it's also bulletproof, a very beefy and durable transmission. Granted it doesn't have overdrive, but the need for O.D. needs to be considered along with tire size, axle ratios, and what you intend to do with the truck. I'm with Clyde65 use it for a while to determine what you like and don't like, then formulate a plan (on paper) and start applying costs to the different options before you make changes. Too often impulse decisions can derail the entire project.
