well joe i wouldn't exactly say that. one of my friend's grandpa's works for ford and he has a 95 f-350 2wd cc auto. and from what my friend was saying he did some drilling in his tranny i just haven't asked him what he drilled out yet. all i know is that he drilled out something to make it shift harder under hard acceleration

Well I wouldn't mind buffing up my transmission for sure, but I just don't want to tear into and drill holes to achieve what you guys are doing. Isn't there aftermarket valve bodies that do the same? (I know I'm going to get hell for even asking this but...) If I do this mod, should I just ditch the trans command, I mean I have unpluged it and seen what it was like in stock mode, and man, that slush box takes forever to shift and just overall sucks. I like the shift points that the trans comand does, but will the valve body mod take care of all this? Is running both going to kill my tranny still???

Thats what I kinda figured..
And just to set the record straight so all you Anti-Banks folks don't think I'm a complete moron, the truck already had all the Banks stuff on it when I bought it, the guy I bought it from had it installed when the truck only had 40k on it, and the only other stuff I'v put on it was an intercooler, ONLY using the Banks pipes... so stop busting my *****!!

Oh, BTW the truck now has 141k and no tranny problems YET.... cross my fingers and knock on wood... thats the only reason I was sticking up for the banks crap.(it's worked well for me)
And I don't mind taking some constructive criticism, anything that makes my truck run longer, stronger, and faster I'm up for..

i dont think the banks kit will "break" your truck, just saying that raisng the line pressure is not good for it, i have driven many trucks with the transcommand and it doesnt shift that hard, banks doesnt turn it up that much, thats why i'm not impressed with it, i think for the money they charge they could have a much better product
