I saw Nate in a YouTube video. Correction, I've seen Nate in a bunch of YouTube videos and I really listened to what he had to say. He is obviously knowledgeable and knows what he's talking about. More importantly, goes into detail and explains why he is doing what he's doing. I have an F-150 with a 10R80 transmission. Obviously I am quite interested in this topic since I own one of them. I haven't had any trouble with my transmission, but I don't want to wait until something goes bad. I am out of warranty but I don't have really high mileage yet, so I figured I'd be proactive. I like to take good care of my vehicles and do maintenance on time, actually more often than necessary and I like to use quality products. There are a lot of copies popping up everywhere now, but next-gen has the original and the best. I had already bought a b&m aluminum extra capacity transmission pan to replace the OEM plastic one. I figured I wanted to do both at once that way I wouldn't have to open it up twice. I bit the bullet and ordered the valve body upgrade kit. I was going to do it myself, but I just don't have time and right now I don't have the space in my garage. I do like to work on my own veh

I went to a transmutation shop sort of scared about doing the job myself.Then they said that my whole valve body needed to come out.I said no! So I started to project myself. Took me almost three weeks. started taking the bolts holding lower valve body cover off all the bolts were 8m, then there were three larger bolts that were 12 E socket so I couldn't the cover. So I ordered E socket set took over a week to get. That"s why it took so long. When I got the tools I needed, Dropped the valve cover removed the 7 cylinders with srings, and installed the 7 plug with o rings , put some grease where the three check balls go to hold them in place. Install separator plate, new cover plate, All the bolts hand tight around check balls first so they are secure, Then tork all bolts reconnect all wiring ,install pan.The trans shifts smoother. I only have 23000 mi on my 2019 Sierra with 8 speed . Will from Next Gen call to see how things wore going those folks very helpful and great !!! would purchase again. very good update

I bought and installed a pulse delete plate for my 8L90 GM valve body. Installed and filled with fluid. Test drove and there was no 4th gear(felt like it dropped into neutral out of 3rd gear). Called up next gen drivetrain and they knew exactly what the problem was. The next day shipped the correct plate and I installed a couple days later. Works great now. I Couldn’t have been happier with the customer support and knowledge base. Thank you!

Order the 10R80 kit w/o steel valves, my mechanic installed them correctly as per instructions on next gen website, he even called them 2x to confirm the necessary cutting of the barbell valve which is kinda BS it doesn’t come in the kit. Mechanic put it back to together and double checked fluid level, on the test drive it was banging into gears and progressively got worse once he made it around the block and parked it the dash said its locked in park now. Awaiting a response from the tech line from next gen but for the price of this kit $899 you have to cut/ modify anything.

I installed the valve body upgrade kit on my wife's 2020 GMC SIerra 1500 in hopes to get the most mileage out of the 10L80E transmission. So far I am very pleased with this upgrade kit. The quality and finish is amazing. The transmission temperature Is significantly lower and the shifts are crisp and smooth. Big thanks to Tyler and Logan in the tech department for all of their time, great communication and patience, as I am a shade tree mechanic at best. With these guys help anybody could install this kit. Highly recommend this kit.
