I had it for just under a year before tearing the truck down again, but it is a beast. It feels a lot like my '07 K3500 Duramax. I got my 4L80e for a song (traded some fabrication and welding), but you can still find them around for pretty cheap...relatively speaking. I don't use OD very often with a trailer hitched. I would not use a 700R4 for what you are planning for your build.
