You have an auto so unless you plan on using a brake....stock axles should be fine.Get a self regulating trans cooler, Long makes a great one. That should be #1 on your list, period. Heat is the #1 cause of trans damage.Your stub shaft/input shaft on your AODE is a weak link. It is known to twist with a power adder. A 1998 or newer AODE/4R70W Stub/input shaft is hardened and is a great modification.You will need a converter. Need to get one with Anti-Balooning plates that is made for power. A shift kit is a great modification also, quicker shifts = less heat. Less heat = less chance of trans damage.AODE/4R70W internals are pretty decent otherwise. That trans is miles ahead of the original AOD.-R</blockquote>
