Level 10 valve body upgrade reviews

I'm in denver

 

Why are you selling it?

 

lookin to fund other mods and trying to get the truck back to a comfortable, quiet, DD.

 

Huh, where are you located at and how much are you asking? Also, how uncomfortable does it make driving that you want to get rid of it? I go off roading somewhat often, would this vb still be good for stuff like that?

 

I'm in Az.. so the swap may be difficult. BUT.. there wouldn't be any downtime. asking $500 plus your valve body obviously. all you need is your choice of trans fluid.

I have been running it for a couple years now. It has been great while wheeling. no issues. It does shift hard.. especially from 1st to 2nd. but.. when you're getting on it.. those hard, fast shifts are awesome! no delay or lag. acceleration is improved due to this. I have before and after videos of the valve body in my build.

 

Bummer, that's a pretty far drive haha. Do you know if getting a kit installed at a tranny shop will be just as good?

 

IDK to be honest. IPT is reputable, plus they use your core.. not sure how it would work at a trans shop.

 

Are ipt and level 10 the only companies that you know of?

 

yeah.. and I wouldnt recommend lvl 10 due to the stories I've read on other forums (supra's, eclipse', etc).

 

Dang, it seems like such a sweet mod but such a pain in the ass

 

that's exactly what it is. lol

 

Great deal right there. If located near each other it's the best thing you could do for your truck

 

that's how I scored it in the first place. Werty down in Tucson was parting out his Taco at the same time I was building mine up.. prefect timing. we did the swap in just a few hours.

 

Yea it's just a tedious process from beginning to end. Just have safety glasses or face shield ready. By the time I was refilling fluids my arm was tired trying to pump the fluid back in.

Op if you plan on doing this I recommend adding a trans cooler as well.

 

YES! good lord it took so long pumping fluid back in.. and I HATE working over my head.. everything else was pretty easy and straight forward.

 

How necessary is the trans cooler?

 

I'm not saying it isn't needed.. but I've been without a Trans cooler since day 1, and have beat on my truck in triple digit temps, under HEAVY load, etc.

 

I hope I get lucky and have someone who lives close to me put theirs up for sale...

 

Does anybody have any information on the level 10 kits? I have a few questions. First, is one of these kits as good as sending my valve body out to get it redone by IPT or level 10 or is it not as good? Second, level 10s website states that they will specifically pick different springs and valve sizes to make the perfect valve body for the way that you drive. Will they be able to send out different springs and different drillbits if I order a kit, or is it just one premade kit? TIA!

 

With IPT and level 10, sending your valve body is mandatory. Or you can buy an other valve body without the solenoids.
