Trans valve body

Hey guys Iv heard a few things about changing the valve body. I tow a trailer so was wondering on pros and cons of changing this. And also what brands are recommended. Thanks

Or if you have the mechanical aptitude, install a Transgo Tugger HD-2.

That's what I had installed along with a triple disc TQ when I had my tranny rebuilt.

I installed a JWVB about 8 years ago. Makes a big difference on the shift points, much tighter/crisper shifts & wont snap your neck either. Worth the investment if you tow a lot.

Pro: JW Valve Body is pretty straightforward for a decent DIYer.
