Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) New Valve Body

I am fixing to replace my stock Valve Body with a High Performance BD Diesel Valve Body. How much difference should I see from this change???

I can't tell you how much difference there will be with just a vb I did their vb,tc and torque lock all at the same time and it made it feel like a race car. It shifts very crisp and lowered rpms of shifts this alone brought the engine to life by the way of not loosing power through the stock converter. I would go with a converter from them also right away at the least.

Anyone Else?

No experience with just replacing a valve body either, did the whole thing at once, but you may want to consider a torque converter real quick if you haven't already replaced yours. Several problem reports I've read here and other places have said one of the primary causes of transmission problems is the torque converter starts slipping and the damaged material then takes out the transmission and the valve body. I'd hate to think of upgrading the valve body and then having it ruined by a failing torque converter.

a VB is a good thing to do but, if you can save you money and get the whole trans done, because in all due time you will need to, it will be the best money you will ever spend.
