Automatic Tranny up grade
Any thing I can do besides adjusting the bands while the pan is off for a service to improve the durability while carrying my cab-over camper? Seems I remember something an improved valve body.

Personally, I'd just go ahead and order one of their new VB's. I'm running just their VB and I'm holding well over what my trans was designed for. The shifts are still nice and smooth. The problem you could encounter with upping the pressures on a stock tranny is you could up them to much and cause the tranny to go into limp mode and you run the risk of blowing seals. At least with a new VB you'll know that the pressures are set to the recommended levels, shift points will be at the right points, and everything will be done correctly. Not saying that you'll screw something up but it's just not a risk I was willing to take and I'm glad I didn't.

I'd go with a Valve body as well!! Cheap investment to help your tranny. Adjusting the bands will work, but as stated above if you go to much you might do more harm than good.
Bigblue has been abusing the snot out of his tranny with his VB and it's still holding..........for now

I would also agree with the VB, just turning up the line pressure still doesen't fix converter charge in park issues, and many other things that need to be corrected in the VB. i have had great luck with HTS http://www.htstransmissions.com/ check them out if you have a chance.
PM me if you have any other trans ?'s and i will try and explain it the best i can.
