I did my install myself. Got the HD-2 From Summit and Corvette Servo and Aluminum Accumulator From Oregon Performance Transmission. Install was pretty easy. I think the only thing that was a pain was the boost valve snap ring. But that's just because I was fighting with it using a crappy pair of snap ring pliers. Got a new filter too.

Ha I don't feel so bad now cause I had the same exact problem that thing is a biotch especially if your laying on your back under the truck.

Get a new separator plate while you are at it.

Any updates yet? I am about to order mine. I found a TBTC and got it ordered, and about to order my 40K tru-cool. I hope I can install it myself. If there are directions, I should be good. Let me know.
