I don't know about that. This will be a daily driver AND our family's only vehicle.

I did get the old AOD out, and the fluid was naaaassty! Like a dark purple color with metallic flakes. The smell was horrendous.

I got the trans used and had no idea of condition. I put new fluid in it and changed the valve body. Highest I think I got it was 80mph.

That was the AOD. Not the 4R70W. I just got the 4R70W in today. Hopefully firing it back up tomorrow.

This trans and controller is awesome! Shifts great, but when I put my boot into it, it hits the rev limiter. Need to get ahold of a laptop to fix that. It comes with a basic configuration. I don't even know what RPM it shifts at since I don't have a tach. Controller shows speed, trans temp, and battery voltage, too.
