What are you tuner guys doing with the TQ management? Im worried about maxing it out due to severe tranny failure, but Im also losing about 10* of timing and 50 hp due to it..

We have the 4L70E...
Nothing is done to my tranny yet, but I may get a new valvebody if needed..

If you are AWD you'll need alot more than a valvebody.. if it's 2WD you'll be in the clear ;)

i would look into a shift kit and corvette servos to start with.

I have it all removed, my friend has a Wester's Tune (like me) and all removed and has no problems, 2k+mi and counting..I think that Torque management is blown out of porportion.. I didn't notice a "ridiculous" difference..more mods it's going back in (50% or so), unless I go to the track and it gets Stupid :devil: fast..heck maybe i'll run it with all and none and we'll see the difference?

Servos and a shift kit arent going to fix the fact that the 2-4 band and apply pin take the brunt of the 1-2 upshift on the AWD models. Anyone completely removing TM on an AWD might as well just buy a few spare transmissions ;) Between that and the sprag breaking (even on stock trucks!) on the AWD it's pretty much a necessity. At least on the 2WD the tires can take the hit rather than the trans.

when it blows up build a better trans......... People spend 10-20k in mods and complain about a trans rebuild that costs 2-3k w/ converter. Its just silly. If your worried about breaking it than you have no business modding it. Trust me, when you fix one wink link you will find another shortly..... Its a vichious cycle.... But its at least a fast one.......
