Shift Kits Available Yet?
I'm looking for a shift improvement kit (electronic) for my 1999 F250 (light duty)4x4...
So far I've heard that B&M will not have one out for some time. Anyone seen or heard of anything else?

I'm looking at that B&M electronic shift improver too for my 1998 F150 4.6 but its not a 4X4. I got my new Summit and Jeggs in the other day and saw it. The only Ford transmissions listed are 1994-97 Ford F-series with E4OD transmissions Part # BMM-70381 and Ford truck and cars with 4R70W and AODE transmissions Part# BMM-70383, both list for 39.95. There is also a JET Shift Command that seems to be close to the same thing except it has 4 setting instead of 3. They have it listed as Ford E4ODE up to 1993 part# JET-70703, and Ford E4ODE 1994-up Part# JET-70704. Both list for 114.95, thats a good bit of difference in price, I wonder if anybody out there has any experience with them that could tell us which one is best for the money? I also have a topic in the transmission section called Better Shifting transmissions in minutes??? The superchip, I am told has the shift improver built in already but I have the JET chip that did little for the shifting.

Get a superchip. It firms the shifts up and adds more than that.

Dear Steve L,
Yes, the Superchip is much different from your JET device. The Superchip actually reprograms the computer, and transforms the shift characteristics of the automatics. Also, the shift delay is removed, as is the spark retard that Ford uses during upshfts and just after, and this provides a very nice improvement in acceleration and shift feel. Big difference!
Bests,
