bts valvebody?
Is it worth putting a bts valvebody in my truck? It has about 97000 miles on the stock all original trans. It shows no sign of trouble just would like it to feel a little better when pulling heavy loads. My current mods are listed in my sig. Let me know, I am also considering going to a dp tuner if I decide to do this, Aaron.

Dp + stock tranny without BTS won't live nearly as long as getting the BTS. If possible, get the BTS first and then let Jody know you have it so he can tweak his tunes in that direction for you.

Is it worth putting the valvebody on my trans with that many miles or am I wasting money until it finnaly goes and I have to replace it, As I said that could be a while as it shows no signs of trouble now.

I put mine in 2 weeks ago. I have 115,000 on mine. Just be sure your truck is in good shape and keep the maintenance up to date.
Do the DP-TUNER. You will thank yourself if you do. Look at my sig. Good luck.
edit: Be sure you have a set of gauges.

I do believe Tenn is a little more than 8 - 10 hours from Washington. Even by plane. I could be wrong. Kris, thanks for the phone number.

He probably is a little more than 10 hours away from Washington. Lucky for him, BTS is in Arkansas, just over the Missouri border. I personally drove from BTS to Mike's house in just about 8 hours.
