thanks for the post Vince. I wasn't entirely sold on the wider band thing.
doesn't a wider band lessen apply pressure? the pressure is dispersed over a larger surface area, reducing the overall apply pressure? or am I just nerding out?
I ordered a BW high energy stock width band, this should be sufficient with all the accomodating parts shouldnt it?
thanks again

You say you like the wide band.
I wish there was just one right answer. It seems that everybody has their own way of doing it.

Dana told me the same thing. The one thing Dana stressed more than anything was to have quick, but not hard shifts he repeatedly beat it into my head not to have hard shifts.
I already ordered the BW band so I will use that, but I am taking Vince's advice and buying a new drum

I've used a wide band for years and never had issues with them. Here's another thing to think about with Dana's statement. At 750HP how long is the 4l60e really going to last in a heavy *** truck? Lets face it in stock form these narrow bands fail so why would you not want to upgrade when you have the chance! Just my opinion. Vince
