Valve body in a daily driver?

[351coupe]

I've only had my truck for about a month and half now, driven maybe two weeks, snow and road conditions. The FTVB was the first mod I did, and mine will be a daily driver soon. I don't mind the crisp shifts at all, haven't regreted it one bit.

I also use mine as a DD and havent had any problem, I went with a DMP valve body.

i have a FTVB . i highly recomend a valve body. i think every lightning should have one.

I drive mine everyday. For the last 40,000 miles, best thing i bought for the farm truck

My L is my D.D. and I have the FTVB along with a 2400 stall and 4:10 Gears. I am going to miss the drive to work when it's gone.

FTVB, and DD here. All weather, except snow and i LOVE it.

It should be a written law that anyone purchasing a Lightning has to install a valve body in it. There just aren't any negative things at all to say about it...

Mine has been in for about 4 months and I love it.

I have a FTVB and a PI 2400 Stall. I don't drive mine every day, but maybe twice-three times a week. Mostly car-pool with the wife. I would recommend a VB for a DD. The quicker shifts are actually better for the transmission than stock. When you have a sloppy stock shift the clutch packs rub together longer before actually shifting which creates heat. With the VB, they instantly make contact and shift creating less heat than stock. Most will agree that one of the biggest causes of transmission failure is heat. Just my $0.02....

I installed my FTVB sometime last year. Truck had 90,000+ miles on her when I installed the valve body. Absolutely no problems whatsoever since the valve body install. She's got 103,000+ miles on her now and still no problems. Oh yeah, in case you couldn't tell by the high mileage, my L is a DD. :rockon:

I have on in my DD, I have really enjoyed it so far

I'm about to put in one of LFP's "milder" VB's this weekend. Hope I'm not disappointed. I just didn't want my head hitting the rear window every time it shifted around town.

You should get the regular one, instead of the dumbed down version. They only shift harder when your on the gas harder. My head hasn't hit the window yet and I drive it like it's MINE.
