thanks for the input. i was calling around about getting my V.B. done by real tranny builders. One company told me that 3rd gen v.b.'s have casting defects and need 2 be replaced. so its about 400 for the vb mods and 400 for a new core. Another local place said don’t do the vb until I get a new tc. so instead of spending lots of money that I don’t have right now I want to do it myself and slowly build it. I also think half of the fun is building it, even if it takes a few tries 2 get it right

For what it's worth I've had a BD VB and now 2 Suncoast VBs(because I'm picky, they were both perfect in their own way). The BD VB was a joke IMO compared to the 2 suncoasts(felt like it allowed slippage and that tranny didn't last 30K miles). I've also got a good friend w/ the Transgo shift kit(that was done right by a Suncoast shop) and I really like how his trucks shifts(just like the mild Suncoast VB). I personally like and stuck w/ the old style Suncoast Race VB, because it knocks the mud off the truck when it shifts! I guess my point is, if it's done right a transgo kit can be a tranny saver and a joy to drive.

Dont have stock turbo. And it literally took me all day to drop the valve body dissasemble it and put everything back together. Probally 7 hours. Shouldnt realistically take that long. Like bill said do it once and do it right. I have been reaking the benefits ever since. I have never adjusted anything other than the bands. I really didnt know there were any valve body adjustments that you could do for the 06's.
