ok this makes the second valve body that has went out of my truck......its doing the same low speed shutter thing and sure enough dealer says your valvebody is bad again.....im done with the stock crap im looking into bd-performance valve body anyone have a suggestion of your own before i drop some cash on a new valve body

 

I believe Steve had an ATS valve body installed.

has the dealership told you exactly what is going bad in the valve body???

 

yea its something to do with the check ***** sticking in the bores of the valve body......even dealer says dodge agrees they are having problems but seems im the only one around here having em

 

I would talk to Dave Goerend or one of his guys: http://www.goerend.com/

 

I have a BD VB & TC and they work great. No more hunting for gears and the power is down low now and shift a whole lot better. The only problem is now w/ the TC it locks at different rpm's and the computer on the truck thinks there is something wrong compared to the stocker and throws a P1740 code. I guess it is common on 05's when upgrading the tranny ( been told by BD, tranny shop and others w/ the code).

 

My 2005 was "lemon lawed" for a bad valve body, it was replaced 3 times and the whole tranny twice. When you say low speed shutter do you mean shiftinng back and forth from 1st to 2nd and then loosing 1st all togther.

 

yea thats what it does........and every time the valve body fixes the problem now they have put 2 in it..this will make the third......but i love the truck so im think im gonna go for the bd valve body

 

yup, I've got a Suncoast VB... like it alot... shift points are now up there close to the tow/haul mode shift points... and quick
