I agree but transmissions are the dessert!
If the engine isn't working as hard, it makes it much easier for the truck's cooling system to dump the heat the transmission is generating. Plus the higher torque output allows the transmission to operate in a higher gear and thus reduces the heat being generated in the first place.
Both of which tend to help transmissions live long happy lives.
