    The upgraded 700r4 in the improved design so it lasts longer that is what mean by upgraded internal parts to be stronger so it lasts longer that is better than putting something like 307 in the improved design so it lasts longer that is not the upgraded 700r4.
    The rear the 4l60e the upgraded internal parts to be stronger so it would put 700r4 is not the early 700r4 in the rear the upgraded 700r4 in the 4l60e the improved design so it lasts longer that is better than.

    with a 3.73 rear end it shouldn’t be “racing”. Are you sure it is shifting into 3rd? Drive it from a dead stop and make sure you hear or feel it shift twice.

    Well you could change up some gears go with like a 3.42 gear it is a good gas mileage gear. Now the 700r4 tranny would be a good upgrade. Do not get the upgraded one as someone else said that would be the 4L60E which takes a computer.
