I DIDN'T say hot oil in the tranny costs you mileage!!!!! I said fuel is WASTED heating up the oil in an automatic transmission to the degree that it must be continuously cooled. Why would you need a stand-alone tranny controller? Well, the your truck has ONE PCM (powertrain control module) computer to control BOTH the electronic IP AND the tranny, which will have a fit, and go into limp-home mode, if it isn't seeing and controlling the electronic IP, with it's associated sensors. AFAIK, folks who have made the change to mech IP have wound up using a stand-alone tranny controller to make it work. If you are insistant on butchering your truck, here's a guy (Bobby Martin) "in the know" as to how to do it: Go to ebay and look up item #8057084984. He says he can set you up with a "cheap & easy to install transmission computer". Incidently, the guy pushing the book, in his own words, says you won't LOOSE over 1/2 MPG going from the electronic to the mech IP. Good Luck!
