Fount the site from another board. I am amazed by the amount of information here.
Here is what I have in my garage:

2001 Jeep Wrangler, lift, 33"s K&N FIPK, etc...

2002 Tahoe LT Autoride, Drop in K&N pretty much stock (its the wife's

2004 Avalanche Z71, Drop in K&N, Magnaflow exhaust w/ twin tailpipes, B&M Supercooler aux. TOC, MSD Ignition wires


I am interested in transmission upgrades for the Tahoe and the Avy. My wife has noticed a hesitation in the Tahoe from a stand still with moderate throttle (not WOT). She says she will press down on the accelerator, it hesitates for a second, and then 'goes'. I have driven it for a few days to see if I experience it. So far I have not.
In general, I would like to make both vehicles' trannys last longer with normal daily driving. I plan to tow with the Avy, hence the cooler.
From what I have found so far, it looks like a shift kit/servo/tune would suit my needs.

any input is greatly appreciated!
thanks,
Jim

As long as it has never stalled

Welcome aboard btw!!!

I think you are on the right track. I doesn't sound that bad like you would need a rebuild.

Welcome to the site

I would post your question in the Automatic transmission area where the pros can get a look at it.
