[QUOTE="Jason, post: 667211, member: 430"] What's this "2nd gear kick" you speak of? My stock 4r100 went 260k miles...towing HEAVY, while running 35" tires, and tuned. I wasn't exactly easy on it, and it worked flawlessly. The reverse boost valve finally started acting up, causing it to try and lock the converter when in reverse. Outside of that, and even then, it worked great for everything else. My '00 is at 209k, and I will eventually get around to tuning it (not a big priority), but a valve body and a torque converter wil happen as well. On a side note, no ned to beat on these trannies, when I would pull a hill heavy (26k+), if the need to downshift arose (losing speed for instance), I wouldn't jab it to the floor, I'd back out of the throttle, lock out overdrive, and roll back in 1/2 throttle or so and let the truck do its thing. I also never manually shifted the trans either. Not sure if it helped, but it lasted a long time. [/QUOTE]
