Time for trany up-grade/rebuild

I have an 97 3500 ,4wd ,auto,tst plate #11 with a few other add-ons. I also have only 45,000 miles on the truck, it dosen't get used alot, but when i do use it, it pulls a large (38') gooseneck enclosed tri-axle triler, GCWR 20,660lbs. Just recently the transmission has started to slip (shudder), when in 4od and I roll into the throtle to much. i'm going to get it rebuilt, but i'd like to know form other TDR members if they have had simular experiences, and who they had do the work? I'm so far planing on haveing Daves Diesel do the work, and going with BD parts, any thoughts? comments? suggestions? thanks
