I sure appreciate all the input guys. I'm sure it's a worn out subject but when it's yours you always wanna make sure you're getting what you need. Do any of y'all have any suggestions towards a true Trac vs an Eaton posi? I've read that the true Trac is a little more bullet proof than the Eaton due to it being all gears but the Eaton is smoother because it has clutch disks that will slip. Maybe a non issue but I figured I'd ask while I'm at it cause I'm considering the true Trac. Price is basically the same for both. Also, I've got the transmission lines routed into the radiator. Will a transmission cooler make much difference?

I don't think you will have an issue with either.  I am probably going to try a true trac next, I don't think either is going to be smoother than the other...
A cooler is always a plus if you are pulling or putting a load on the truck.
