So I recently got a mild tune for my truck from the Great guys over at valley center. I had them increase my power numbers to that of a stock 2019HO, and they took care of a couple CELs that popped up when a few things like my throttle body mysteriously came unplugged.

Anyway, I don't drive the truck much, I try to save the miles for actual truck stuff and not just daily driving. When I have driven the truck I'm very gentle since the tune because I'm terrified of smoking the 68rfe, but I had a buddy with me the other day and decided to put it to the floor from a stop. It did alright, but did some weird stuff at the top of 3rd the rpms kinda bounced a bit before it shifted into 4th.

Anyway, I think it's safe to say a valve body should be done since I do run 37's in the summer, and I do two a 9500lb travel trailer a few times a year.

Valley recommends and tunes Randy's valve bodies, so that's the way I'm going. However I'm looking for input on the tune required baby maker 2000 vs the non tuneable plan B. I'm really nervous about modding the transmission cause I had a really bad experience with level 10 transmissions back in the day with my old subaru.

I want to go with the solution that's going to be the most consistent and reliable, for what I use my truck for.
 
I'd definitely give the guys at Randy's a call they have pretty good customer service. They should be able to fill you in on what kind of transmission tune is needed. When you find out let us know. I'm planning to go the same route as well.
 
The 3-4 shift on the 68’s can certainly be a little… odd.

Randy’s lists the tuning specs they like to see on their website, and Valley center will know the specs as well.

If you’re running 37’s, id advise the 2000. You’ll benefit from changing the shift points to hold a little longer, and the tranny will definitely like it too.
