little update..no the trans is fine still, but i was on the GSP (main interstate in NJ) today and noticed the boost gauge stop working. I pulled over and notice the boost gauge line where i T it into the MAP line fell off. Got home and rip tie every line now and its all good. Dam boost pressure blowing of all my lines. LOL

Brian's Truck Shop, Valve Body. Tranny parts is what it is. BTS specializes in the ford trans area.

UPDATE if anybody cares. I got the BTS VB today from UPS and installed it tonight with the 6liter trans cooler and Schaifer(sp?) fluid. Man does that VB make a big diffrence in the shift pattern and firmness! The DP chip was burned for the BTS VB and i really like how the 2 work togeather. The fluid and cooler change also made a big diffrence in Temp. Normally my Trans temp would be at ambeint temp plus 100 degrees so like yesterday it was about 80 degrees out so trans temp was at about 180 degrees. Well on the drive home tonight after installing the VB at the shop the outside temp was 70 degrees and the trans temp never went over 125 degrees! Thats 55 degrees cooler running in driving the truck the same way i do all the time. I mean the stock trans cooler on my truck was 1/3 the size of the 6 liter 31 row trans cooler!!! Great stuff.
