Specs and tweaking a t444e?

[141N]

This is my first post to and about my 1996 3600 Thomas bus full length with T444E and since i just had it replaced a brand new AT545 Transmission.
Bought blind as an auction. Would not shift well but drove some 200 miles, after talking to many shops and waiting at the wrong shop for 2 months. I haf Sonny Merriman replace the transmission with 1 yr warranty.
Next to Powell's trucking an International Dealership. I spoke on the phone about resetting the governor speed electronically and they said yes, its a 30 min fee. He said he reset it to 100MPH. This was the only shop that has the computer to reprogram this computer. Local ford people thought they could but could not.
I am excited to begin conversion and after seat removal wonder what the next thing to do?

If you have the split rad/intercooler a full radiator would be a nice upgrade.
If you're planning to run a 545 for sustained interstate speeds you also want a tranny cooler. It won't cure the lack of lockup, but it will help it live.
