I can't remember why I picked the Superior one now. I just looked and the 4R55E kits from TransGo & Superior are totally different. Same with the A4LD ones. It makes a guy wonder which one is better & why. Can you do both, what if there is conflicting information? Just seems like both companies have some science behind their kits and you'd have to know your way around transmissions really well and if not, it might as well just be their own opinion on what's better.I dunno about the Superior kit, I saw a number of people said the TransGo kit was better so that’s the direction I went. Also TransGo has good customer support. I did all of the A4LD mods I could while I was at it, then tightened the bands. It was a night and day difference for me.
I tried the band adjustment too, no major change. Had a transmission shop look at it and they had the truck for 3 weeks, ultimately said it had low line pressure that gets lower as the fluid warms up but had no idea why, their suggestion was a $4000 rebuild. Parts stores have reman transmissions for about half that with a better warranty. Figured I'd go that route. If that wasn't an option, for $4000 I will try it myself and have the budget to mess it up several times & still come out ahead!
