Sure Cure E4OD
So after several hours reading up on my E4OD. I've began to think all my worry was unnecessary (typical). After 5000 miles on the new fluid, it has no discolorisation, no burnt odor, I have never smelled clutches burning, or felt any slippage.
What I assumed was clutches shot, bands gone, and gears warn may just be a fluid pressure issue.
(This is what happens when blind assumptions are made kids)
It's slow to engage rev and 2-3/3-4 shifts are slow and drawn out feeling. First is very firm, and sometimes requires me to lift before it shifts.
So I intend to install the sonnax 36424-01k pressure boost kit, a new appropriate cooler, external filter, and a temp gauge. I was interested in the sure cure kit sonnax offers. I don't pull much with the truck right now, and it will never be a weekly hauler but if/when I need it I want it ready.
So with me not knowing when the last rebuild was done or what was done, would installing all the fore mentioned parts be foolish until a full rebuild is done?
The parts are all in the cart waiting for me to pull the proverbial trigger.
Thanks guys, the truck is 100x's better than when I got it. Now I'm working on 200 haha

It would depend on you find when you open it up, If it is clean with only some stuff in the pan I would go for it.
I got some parts from racer x to do what your doing, but I haven't gotten the truck back together yet, still trying to find a turbo.

Have you adjusted the TPS/FIPL yet? I used a meter...Then tossed it and did it by foot/feel just be sure not to go over 4.5 after adjustment, Clean all your grounds on the tranny wiring, It ant broke don't fix it!

I've replaced all sensors, cleaned all connections, and set the new style TPS to nearly perfect specs (tho its about time to check it).
The biggest thing is the sure cure kit. The rest of the items are just protection and care. And the sonnax boost valve is to remedy the slow reverse, if nothing else.
