B&M Towing vs Street Strip Shift Kit
-I had a longer lag between 1st & 2nd, and the E4OD started slipping only when it was not fully warmed up. Sooooo...
-I installed the B&M Electronic Shift Improver that i've had lay'n around for who knows how many years now. on setting #1 it shifts much quicker & at higher RPM's which is better for my tire size and gearing. and OD only engages beyond 55mph i believe. Setting level #2 is good for offroad b/c the shift is much harder and an even higher RPM shift point.
-I also have a B&M Shift Kit with the valve body springs and what-not. Does anyone have experience with how the B&M Shift Kit performs and any suggestions to why you do or do not like the B&M Kit. The kit is "2 kits in 1", one is Towing and the second is Streed Strip. I'd like to use the Towing(#1kit) because I've got 41" tires and 4:88's in the diff and will be towing a chopper trailer among other dirt and yard trailers with the occasional towing a project car on a large flatbed.
-when I install a kit I'd like to tighten the bands too...any HOW-TO's??
-also wanted is a deep trans pan and a second or larger cooler with an electric fan on a dash switch for just the trans cooler. ideas on what you did to your f150 would help me a lot
THANKS
