Hello everyone,
Making this thread as I have questions for other people with built valve bodies and maybe it'll help other people in the future.
For starters, my CVIs were low before i installed the new valve body:
2C: 45
4C: 35
2C Alt: 52
L/R: 64
OD: 55
UD: 36
After I installed the new valve body:
2C: 51
4C: 45
2C Alt: 56
L/R: 70
OD: 75
UD: 41
These are after a quicklearn and around 300-400 miles on the truck since. The truck doesn't shift hard while going through the gears, in fact they're quite soft. But once you kickdown into lower gears it feels like you're going to die they're so hard occasionally.
Truck also seems to like running a bit hotter on the trans side, before it wouldn't hit 125 even when you beat on the truck but now it hits 150 while driving and stays steady at 170-180 while idling in park.
According to the seller, they upgraded the accumulator pistons, better solenoid plate, better solenoid switch valve (oversized), and oversized solenoid switch valve plugs. There's also a gasket separator plate.
I'm aware it probably needs a tune to bring those numbers down - i just can't do it at the moment as i just lost my job but i am planning on doing it as soon as possible.
