I sure disagree about the tranny's on Ford. We have eight powerstrokes at home and they are all chipped and have anywhere from 10-350k on them. Two of them that are autos have over 150k on them and the transmission hasn't been touched. Mine now has 62k on it and not one problem with the transmission. I was worried about the transmission as well but it seems if you get the chip it actually helps the transmission by shifting firmer. Two of my friends both have autos with 100hp chips and one has 130k and the other 75k and no problems with the transmission. I would definitely by another auto after how well I have seen these other guys perform. Before that I wouldn't have touched one either.
I don't know about the Chevy but the Ford comes standard with the 3.73 gears but you can get the 4.10's.
