I believe all the TBSS's come with a tow package. Yes, transcooler is highly recommended for these trucks, or a 4L80e conversion Check out the tbssowners.com site. They have a section where members are selling or TBSS have's or have found TBSS's for sale.

thanks guys, think i'm getting pretty close on one.
the white gmc unfortunately isnt mine, its a friends.. he has a car we are building and it will be done soon and i am betting he will want to tow his own car!
towing my car isnt the main reason for buying , but i want to make sure if i want to do it i will be able to!

I have been throwing the idea around of getting one as well and that sums it up some for me. Did any of the years have mechanical fans/electric? What year did the grille change? They have all had the same engine and output correct?

I love mine. Even If you plan on staying stock I would definatley get a trans cooler. If you do start modding a trans should be the first thing cause it's gunna go sooner or later, just a matter of time. But I also know a guy running high 11's on a 150 shot and stock trans with like 80,000 miles
