I believe the Allison and other big automatics use an external filter to increase the transmission life. It's a $30-$40 dollar modification that will make that transmission last a lot longer.

I was looking at those, I'm just not sure yet of where to put it. The trans and engine oil coolers should be here in the next day or two. That's why I wanted the exhaust done first, so I can plumb all this stuff in and keep it away from it.
