High Miles LB7 mods

I have had an '02 LB7 for about 20,000 miles that has 192,000 total miles on it. It needs a trans rebuild and would like to build it and then start the normal mods like exhaust, EFI Live or other programer (have quadzilla now), etc. Am I crazy for thinking about modding something with this many miles? I can't seem to find anything about trucks with this many miles doing a search. It burns no oil between changes and has just had injectors replaced.

You should be fine with what you want to do. I heard of an 01' with 727k on it and still running.

Seems to me like most new diesel owners see high mileage and still think in gas terms. 200,000 miles on a diesel is equivalent to 50,000 miles on a gas engine. I would buy a truck with high mileage ONLY if it was a diesel.
