If you have a good diesel transmission builder have them do a Suncoast Extreme Rebuild Kit, Triple Disc Converter and a Suncoast Valve Body. Or just let Suncoast build it for you to there specs and drop it into your truck.

so is it true you can go out and spend like 200 on a transgo and get decent product while actually helping your trans. I have a nice TC but no valve body. and i dont really have money now to drop into a nice VB. just thought ive seen that floating around here and there

a Shift kit is better than a stocker but an aftermarket VB is still the best way to go.

It beats the stocker. Just make sure you have someone that knows what there doing and have installed Transgo kits before.
