You already have the 44RE, not a 42RE. The 42RE is used on the V6 whereas
all 5.2's get the 44RE. The 44RE is a beefed up 42RE, so they are physically
the same externally, but heavier internally. The heavy duty service group
for our trucks included a tranny cooler, larger radiator, larger battery,
and larger alternator.
