RV275s
dpc triple low stall, tcs(usa) billet input, bd flexplate, all upgraded internals, raybestos blue clutches. It was a local build, not sure what they did to the valve body. Valve body and torque converter are the biggies for shifting. Did you and Dynamic talk stall speed on the TC? Last month I swapped out some 100hp vcos for 100hp sacs and swapped the edge comp for a quadzilla xzt...it's smokey down low with the low stall TC and super b turbo. I liked the stall of stock TC much better.

RV275s
I'll poke the fire...after all my tranny work, I still want a manual. Having complete control over shifts can't be beat. Daily driving, stuck in bumper to bumper traffic frequently would be the only downside to a manual, in my opinion. Cost wise between a built auto and manual is comparable, minus the labor time for the manual swap. After upgrading to a low stall triple disc, billet input and billet flexplate, I probably have close to $5k in the tranny, and I still don't like the shifting. My biased opinion.

Turbo oil return hose
7/8" ID. Hard hose size to get locally. CPP diesel has it, expensive. Look under turbo oil return lines.

Injector Rattle/Pinging/Panging
I checked the flexplate through the viewport last year and didn't see any cracks but I think I'll have to drop the tranny just to make sure. I'm starting to think it's the flexplate.

Dear God!!

Injector Rattle/Pinging/Panging
Finally swapped out injectors for new ones, still pinging and panging under load. Sounds like it's coming from the VP. Any ideas? Only when the torque converter is locked under load. I'm frustrated...

Intermediate Steering Shaft Upgrade
Ebay, OEM Mopar shaft, $130. I had the dorman for a very short time and had the same exact thing.

2016 Silverado Mileage
Nice truck! DW, I highly recommend a Hellwig rear sway bar. Really helps out body roll and makes towing a lot better. Riding empty is even better.

Moog steering parts
Did you replace everything with the stock "Y" style steering set-up or the upgrade HD ("T") style? When I got my truck I replaced everything with moog "Y" style and the truck was tight for a while. After about 20k miles I had bumpsteer again, but everything was still pretty tight. After upgrading to new "T" style, truck is much more firm, more controlled, no bumpsteer.

47re transmission
Add 1 quart at a time, since you don't have a drain plug to easily drain extra.
-
47re transmission
5 to 7 quarts, depending on your setup and how long you wait for fluid to drain. I was told to put it in neutral when draining also. Aftermarket tranny pan?

Turbo rebuild
Check out gillette diesel. I have ordered multiple housings and wheels from them, all genuine holset. A slight upgrade to a 58mm or 60mm wheel and housing is not that expensive also.

Redhead or Bluetop?
I'll tell you in a week or so when I install the Borgeson sitting in my closet. Rehead was loose after a couple months and Bluetop was loose out of the gate. Local builder in Ohio was loose after a couple months and had no low rpm assist. There's my debbie downer story

On to the next problem, a leaking head gasket.
Follow the install directions to the "T" on those bolts. I stretch broke a couple checking the torque spec after rotating 90 degrees. Running them for over 5k miles with no leaks.

48RE starting to act up
Yes, service kit!

Power Steering Fluid Leak
I ordered those bolts from mcmaster-carr.com, I think.
