which is better and more reliable and why?

Obviously ill be getting a tranny cooler so my tranny will last longer.

So far from my research Ive gathered that the J-mod is safer and more reliable. I just wanted some of your opinionions

also where is the best place to purchase the J-mod kit?

 

http://vapauto.com/ go here and you can read up on it or purchase it

 

so if i buy the valve body kit all i do is just swap the old one with the purchased one and im done?

 

You don't buy anything for the J-mod. All you do is drill a few holes and remove some check *****. It's free minus the tools needed.

 

I was just going to buy the whole valve body just to play it safe, I really cant afford screwing up my tranny since its my DD. Ill also buy the tran cooler kit.

 

that website has said out of stock for quite sometime now. I have no idea but its a possibility they're only doing it if you send in your current valve body

 

Yeah when or if i do it i'll probably just buy a new valve body.

 

didnt realize they were out of stock, darn that sucks i cant afford my car to be out of commison. guess ill have to go ahead and by just the plates.

 

probably just send the guy an email and see what the deal is. You get those fog lights?

 

I should have them by the end of the week. Since there coming from CO to TX it should take atleast a week. Ill prolly do the J-mod before i go and do the fog lights. Its about time i did some performance mods.

 

Its super easy to mod the valve body. You will be amazed how simple it is once you pull the valve body off the tranny.

 

See if these guys can help you. www.bc-automotive.com

 

a little bit to expensive for me Ill just end up going with the valve plates from the other site, only set me back $65 and then $50 for the trans cooler from summit.

 

It may be a duh post but if you do it yourself just be sure you have tranny fluid to put back into your car when you are done with the swap you might as well change the filter while you are down there if you haven't had a tranny flush in awhile

 

yeah i was going to let the ford dealership do it. Ive never had a Tranny Flush done on my car since in still at only 22k miles. Ill def be doing it this summer. Ill keep you guys updated and let you know how it feels.

 

With the semester ending soon I will be able to spend more time working on the stang I'm planning on ordering the jmod next week and hopefully will have it in a week or two latter. then it is time to save for t-lok and 4.10s

 

yeah I have 4 weeks left then finals then ill be back home for the summer. so ill be ordering the Jmod and trans cooler within the next 5-6weeks.

 

going to get rid of the 4x4 also? I'm doing that soon. Only 8 class days left including finals

 

nope i dont see my self lowering it for a while. Maybe next summer or once i graduate in 2010. Im thinking about doing the 5.4L swap once im out of college. So ill need to get a 8.8 rear end. But for now these or just thoughts and ideas and we will see if they matierlize into anything as we go.

 

Since they are opening the tranny up for the valve body they will be changing the fluid and if they are a competent shop they will change the filter as it comes off for the valve body to be removed anyway. So you dont need to get a flush as you will have new fluid. Honestly i cant stress enough how easy this mod is you should read up on how to do it and just save your money and do it yourself. You will save money and learn new things about how cars work. Its the best part of modding your car is doing it yourself.

 

I would but i dont have the tools etc.

 

Do you know of any write ups online for DIY?

 

Yes we have one here from our member 03mustangt. Search for the D&D garage write up on the j-mod.

 

The auto trans in these v6's can hold over 400rwhp and torque. SO

Jmod time.
