I was wondering what tranny mods do i need to handle a 140hp aggresive tune from dp or tony,elite? How much is a bts valve body and will just this be enough to handle the power without abuse? THANKS
so u have an old body style ford?? sry jus not sure what year truck u got...ur prob right about the valve body helping..also look into a billet torque converter n some gauges..
get some pics in ur garage so we can all see the beast mmkay
*****EDIT******
next time ill look at what forum its posted in...94-98 powerstroke...my bad buddy..good luck with it!!!
yeah its an obs, i should be buying it tommorow,it laggs or slips between 2-3 shift, and would like to stop it. Also shifting gear like drive or reverse it is difficult, i thought a good valve body would help this alot
it might help but it sounds to me more like slipping 2-3 clutches...prob get it checked out at a shop before u put the tuner on and put the good power to it ....in my opinion
Mavsps, I talked to BTS and they said the best things to preserve the E40d is the Valve Body and a Torqe Conv. but get it checked out by a quality shop and go from there. PS mine is doing the same thing and was told to get a shift kit. The valve body has the kit already in it.
BTS valve Body was somewhere around $230-$250 plus Core. In my opinion worth the extra money vs. shift kit.Please keep me posted on what you come up with and call BTS they were very polite and helpful.
If you haven't bought this truck yet DON'T The Transmission is going out all ready. You are looking at $ 3500.00 to have it rebuilt and $4000.00 for a BTS 2 & 3 are what goes out on these E4OD's.
Also, another let down, You won't get 140 hp from a tune unless you install larger injectors. With stock injectors, you will only see about 70 hp gains.
