Thumbs up FT Valve Body is in

The transmission tech at my dealership just installed the FT Valve Body. I was actually surprised how nicely the vehicle shifts. It feels firm but not neccessarily harsh. My experience has been quite different than Rob_02 Ligthning's. He said he's got nothing but wheel spin. I accelerated onto the Hwy just outside the dealership and just eased into it, and got a nice chirp going into second. As I completed the loop back to the dealership, I got back on the Hwy and laid into it, and it didn't even chirp. Just a nice firm shift into second and third. One big difference is my truck is basically stock with just a high flow air filter and Magnaflow cat back. It sure feels nice and it was even nicer not having to get my hands dirty.

EXCELLENT Mart Man
I'm glad it turned out just like you wanted it.
This truly is an awesome Mod,
I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT A LONG TIME AGO

Mines growing on me daily, but I still have a Major Traction Prob,
(Balding F-1's and Cold Temp's "do play a part" though)

Now add 6lbs of extra Pulley and see if it ONLY CHIRPS

Hey Rob, maybe that's the difference (the balding F1's) My L only had 2300 miles on it when I checked it in to the service department. You know it was really funny how my tranny pan had a leaky gasket. Swap was done under warranty. You'd have thought it wouldn't leak with only 2300 miles.

Hey Marty

wait until you install a pulley and get your predator programer.
