StngStr: best thing about it is the wife hates driving my truck. but under normal driving it has nice firm shift but from half to wot it will break your neck. And my truck is pretty much a weekend play toy.

Sounds to me like Svtwizard did it with no issues.

I did do a jmod to my truck 4R70W and I love it. But after doing some research over on TCCoA Darrin, Greg (factory tech) & dirty dog all agree that the truck valve body is diffrent.I respect what these guys say and would listen. I may have gotten lucky doing mine and it working for me. My trans was rebuilt before I did the j-mod and dont know if the right valve body was put back in or not. To be safe, I would not do a jmod to your truck!!!I Believe greg has a kit that would work for our trucks.

Factory Tech has 2 versions for your tranny...you can either do a FT valvebody or a FT seperator kit...both are great products
here is some info on them

I would like to know the difference in J moddin the truck VS the car VB.
I purchased a TransGo kit and wrote down all the drill sizes next to the holes they want you to drill.They give you an option of passenger car/towing/ and police.Why would they have you drilling the same holes in a car 4r70w as a truck, just differnet sizes to get the shift you want?I also wrote down all the drill specs from the J mod below the transgo specs.The J mod ,to begin with, has you drilling holes that hte transgo dont.I also did the same thing with a B&M shift kit.The drill specs are all with in the same hole sizes ,for the most part.
..I just had my tranny rebuild with alto clutches,hardened shafts,kevlar OD band, 3000 PI stall ect..for my turbo V6.I need to install a shift kit and now everyone has the wheels in my head turning..lmao
