op:
I have a DMP valve body and I am very satisfied. He builds them to your needs. Just give him a call 619-47448675
Dmp !!!!!!!
They are all pretty much the same, just tuned differntly. Most places will build one to suit your tastes.
Search button, only the 100th VB thread!
Dmp!
are we talking about actual valve bodies here or accumulator bodies? I have had a factory tech accumulator body since 2002 and it's been great...
really this isnt accurate....some use better parts thasn others. just do your homework before buying!
I have the FTVB and it has been great. Today if I were in the market, I would probably go for the Punisher. Paul seems very knowledgeable, available to answer questions or fix any problems. JJ's endorsement also is a positive.
Havent heard any mention of chickenears FTVB. Has there performance fallen off?
Punisher COMP VB!
I know a guy with an L with a 6lb lower that just had his first gear come out with a FTVB installed. I don't know if that is what caused it but I would rather have DMP build me one.
I've been reading vb threads for the last couple weeks. think there's been some ftvb failures only because of higher volume. lfp's seem to have the best 1-2 shift.
I'm going with the level 10's from jlp. it's good enough for the race truck, its good enough for me. plus, I'm also going with the drop shackle.

a SBTB compliments a good valve body.

I not heard really any bad things on a lot of VB's so I think you will be safe with anyone of them. I personally went with DMP because I heard a few people had problems with factory tech.
I bought a ftvb 4 years ago when I bought my brand new lightnin now that my waranty is over I have in stalled it few days ago on a truch with 50000 miles. I got less than 10 miles on valve body, what I have notice 1 to 2nd not firm and i only went 1/2 wot throttle. When it shift to 3rd th 4th it make this noise like blow off with a loud sqeek, it werid I'm going video the sound. I'm going to put few more miles on it and see what it does. I'm thinking pulling it out and going with this other valve body ya talking about before I destroy mr transmisssion. I will keep update, so far two bad experinces with ftvb, back in my 94 lightning I installed one in my truck and 2nd to 3rd start slipping, less then two week having it in, that's why I'm being careful this time around with ftvb.
Hey give me a link to DMP cause most likey I'm pulling ftvb out before it hurts my transmission. I think this should make your mine up. I never heard dmp give my a link or a number thanks fellow lightning peeps.
