Reverse went out completely and came back within an hour… [emoji15]

Thank you to @RamCares for setting me up with a case specialist early on.

So I picked up the truck on Wednesday and wanted to give it a few days and get through the relearn before I have feedback again. I have to say, this time it feels right! Not sure if it been bad so long I forgot, but it feels better than when I drove it off the lot. Technician found a torn lower/reverse actuator piston seal. Now this is in the brand new valve body that was installed at the other dealer. So it appears this was just a manufacturer defect, as they confirmed all line pressures, functions, and clutch clearances were all good. No debris was found in the housing like last time.

So I’m back on the road and all seems well. Hopefully this will be good for a while. I would love to put an ATS performance valve body, but that’ll have to wait until after the power train warranty expires. Until then fingers .

ATS is not very well regarded around these parts - meaning they are local and have a bad rep. I'd shop around if looking to upgrade anything.
 
Ok. I'm not married to any one company by any means. Kind of disappointed at the thought of having to upgrade it at all to be honest. I'm open to any suggestions of high-quality upgraded valve bodies. I'm not in any rush to drop multiple g's to upgrade the powerplant anyway. It has plenty of power for me, I just want to kind of "Bulletproof" the tranny. Thanks in advance for the feedback and suggestions.
