Starting the Trango install.
Don't think I got the latest kit.

A shot before I start touching anything.

All the solenoids electrical unhooked. Bolts removed. Etc... ready to pop off the valve body.

A picture for the check *****. This is the case under the valve body.

Underside of the valve body. Good shot of the the accumulator piston housing.

The piston housing, plate and gaskets removed from the valve body.

Should I be concerned with plastic pistons in the 80E?

More to come!

Step by step of the Trango Install:
Step 1
Drill a hole. EDIT: THIS HOLE IS TO SMALL. CORRECTED LATER IN THREAD.

Step 2.
Remove a valve and place some springs and new end cap. Both springs lightest shift. Outer spring only firmer shift, inner spring only firmest shift. I'm going light this time around.

Step 3:
Remove filter and plug. Remove the o-ring from the filter. Install a tapered plug, the filter and orange spring. Directions say to grind some off the filter if it all doesn't fit. I may be doing that after looking at it again tomorrow. It doesn't fit.

Contact bill@hptuners. He should be able to help with the tune.
The 2500HD yoke isn't an option for me without swapping the output shaft of the transfer case. 32 spline I am assuming. Mine is 27 I think.
