If you have the E4OD the Banks Transcommand can be a good idea. A friend, that owed several tow trucks with this transmission, installed them on the recommendation of the only transmission shop I actually trusted and found that their transmission failure rate fell to nearly zero.
They are less helpful 4R100, but probably still a good idea.
Engine has 100k miles and not wrecked yet. Haven't heard of one yet wrecked from the Banks implementation of the K&N equipped intake. Haven't even heard of an oil coated sensor. Also, no white powder on my intake last I checked.
