John Wood VB?

Thinking of installing one in a month or so and trying to figure out the best place to buy one? Seen Riffraff advertises them but out of stock, strictlydiesel also list them. Any other sources? I guess you can go to John Woods site as well. Trying to get rid of my soft 2-3 shift in the upper power levels thought this couldn't hurt and it doesn't look too hard to install (Just a tad messy). Thanks

Chris

I would do it! It made a huge difference in my old 285,000 mile trans! I saw lower trans temps as well. If you would like I have my factory one that you can send in as the core, just send me yours once you get it out! Shoot me a pm if you want.

I installed one also and it made my transmission shift much better. Mine started slipping quite abit on the 2-3 shift after I installed a chip. The jw valve body fixed it. I got mine from Clay.

We only have one person on backorder currently and we are sending another 20 cores for John to modify so your wait should be short lived.

My offer stands to anyone else if I don't hear from the OP to use my factory unit as the core!

Hey Chris when you get the VB pull your chip and send it back to Jody at DP it will make a world of difference. Thats what I had him do for me. Trust me...

The JW valve body is hands-down the best money I have spent on my truck to date.
