Honestly never heard of them but researching the sight and looking at the prices plus 24month warranty it wouldn't hurt to try them out. Just keep in mind that the rebuild parts are most likely OE style and will only handle so much power. Besides, if you don't know how or have the want to, to rebuild yours then I'd still say go for it. I mean with what you mentioned bout your tranny fluid being milky it definitely needs to be rebuilt. Most likely the previous owner had some  encounters with some water plus leaking gaskets.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

     Saw this was your first time posting cooleo1122, welcome to the site from California.

Is it like a strawberry  milkshake looking fluid? Sounds like coolant or water has got into it

Clean everything really well with some degrees er  and sand it all with 80 grit then spray or roll it on. That's how we do it in the shop and that's how i did my truck. Just Make sure you get decent bed liner

Don't really have m such to say besides I think those trans have a lock nut problem that allows it to slip out of fifth gear? Id check into fixing that while you are in there. As far as help goes Google and YouTube are your best friends ;)
