Ok, Im still undecided about buying a juice or not but will probably buy a pressureloc 1st since I dont know anything about tranny work and for sure couldnt install a VB. But perhaps I could do a pressurloc, but what all is involved in it? Thanks.

Save your money. A Pressure loc only works AFTER the truck shifts into OD. It only makes more line pressure after it recieves a signal locking the OD. A VB will make more line pressure all the time. That's what you need. If you can't do it have a shop do it, there is no shame in hiring work done that you cannot or choose not to do.

Also, you'll need to consider a new TC if you are going to do a VB.

PS. Get a fuel pressure guage...tonight.

Pressureloc actually engages with lockup signal, not overdrive signal. I would also recommend the valve body/torque converter upgrade, but only if your transmission has low miles and is in good shape.

Do a Valve Body instead. It will help way more than the pressure loc in every way. They are really not that hard to install either. If you can put in a pressure loc, you can probably do a Valve Body. Or like was said. Just hire it done if you have to. Big Blue was holding right at 400hp with just a valve body. You wont have that much, so a VB should do you fine until you do decide to install a better Torque Converter.

I think I will hold off on the VB and maybe get the juice, soon to be followed by the Vb, if the trans dont hold, I guess it'll be a Full tranny then, I dont want the juice for the horsepower, just the fuel pressure reading,
