Side Note: for the 2009 Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, and Tahoe, a 6 speed auto is either optional or standard. Even if GM survives and keeps making the Twins beyond 2011, I'm not sure we would see a 6 speed. Maybe a 5 speed.

I would suggest the sonnax servos over the superior, the sonnax are a much better design and still retain the accumulator.

I can't say Sonnax servos are better since I've never used them. But Sonnax doesn't mess around when they add seals to their servos or accumulator pistons. They use double and triple seals. :D

I'm in the same situation and I installed one. Certainly can't hurt.
