Question Banks Transcommand - Does nothing question

Had a Banks Transcommand installed on my 1999 TD and can not tell a difference while driving around the city and freeway. Should I be able to notice something? I was told I should. OR will it be something I don't notice untill towing my 13,000 LB Toybox?

I'm sure if you are into the gas the shifts WILL feel and be firmer, there should be no question, just driving real light you would almost feel no differnce, but if you are in the gas you will feel the tranny shift, well you should lol

I have the transcommand, and for normal driving there is no change. If you put your foot in it, moderate to heavy, it raises the shift points (rpm's) and firmness.

I have not towed with mine yet, but unloaded in normal driving, there is no difference.

That's exactly why I bought mine. I wanted help when towing. Otherwise, I wanted my tranny left alone. Special valves increase line pressure 24/7, even when I didn't need it.
