Valve Body

I've been pondering the idea about getting a valve body for my truck. I have 318k on my original tranny I replaced my torque converter around 200k and have never had a problem. I drive my truck hard on road and off road. I've never had any slipping issues or any problems. Since I have gotten Dp Tuner it shifts better then ever. Would I benefit from a valve body or leave it the way it is??

If it ain't broke... mod it! I have a Factory Tech vb and it shifted pretty hard 2-3 until I put in the DP tuner. The tuner was burned for my mods, including the vb, and it's wunderbar now. You'd probably benefit from a reburn if it shifts too hard. A 6.0 trans cooler is also highly recommended. Leave the bypass on. My 2 cents.
