Where is the check valve and why would I delete it? Sorry I don't know a lot about automatics.
I wanted to get an aftermarket cooler, but the lines have a fitting on them and dont seem like they would extend well beyond the stock location, what do people do to extend them? just cut off the fittings and use rubber clamps to add hose?

That may be if I hadn't gotten the truck at 114,000.

Another thing I forgot to mention was when I give it about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle it shifts like new, can't feel it at all. And when it's floored it feels like its got a valve body kit, has that lurching feeling when it shifts.
It has a JET power control module, could it be controlling the shift firmness?

Did you ever figure out what was going on here?

Mine is going on 180k I've only put about eight thousand miles on it myself when I first got it it was already shifting kind of wonky like this and I've been trying to hunt down the problem ever since.
The only information I have from before I got the car was that it did have a small vacuum leak when I bought it which I fixed after about only 5 miles of driving it home, the vacuum leak was causing a bit of high idle and overheating though and I don't know how long the old owner went with that going on.

I have the 46re in my 2002 Dodge Durango and it's doing exactly the same thing, under light acceleration it's shifting hard but if I put about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle on it it's shifting like it's fresh off the showroom floor but if I really go at it (full throttle) it has that same valve kit feel of a shift.
