Banks Transcommand December 31, 2017, 02:59:54 pm The one on my 1995 E40D transmission started acting up. Harsh and erratic shifting.I used the bypass plug which takes the box offline and smooth shifting returned. The unit was installed 21 years ago.Should I consider replacing it out staying stock?Banks advertises that this unit really helps an E40D from overheating.Also...any recommendations on an aftermarket E40D transmission temperature gauge?
Re: Banks Transcommand Reply #1 – January 01, 2018, 02:28:03 pm Whether or not you replace the Banks will probably depend on where you live and where you travel. If you do a lot of mountain driving then, yes, I'd replace it. We happen to live in the eastern Sierra. No matter which direction we choose to travel, it's up hill. We had a Banks on our '94 26.5 MB and we have a Banks on our '06 26.5 RB. It provides much less stressful driving. Happy trails,Juli W. 1 Likes

We're going to focus on SW Colorado so lots of hills.I've heard both pros and cons of this product.I need to research it more.Thanks for your suggestion.
Re: Banks Transcommand Reply #3 – January 02, 2018, 11:43:11 am Prior to having John Woods rebuild my 2002 Ford 4R100, I had Banks install a trans command in combination with an exhaust brake (diesel truck). Being able to lock up the torque converter in each gear made the exhaust brake much more effective and it has been trouble free for many years.When John rebuilt the transmission, he mentioned that the trans command is a useful item and kept it on the new transmission. I still like it, especially in combination with the diesel exhaust brake and the bullet-proof JW transmission. As far as an accessory for a gas Lazy Daze, I don't see a down-side.HD 1 Likes

Some like to install a tee in the transmission's output line, before the cooler.Other like to located the sensor in the oil pan. The newer 4L100 transmission, has its Factory sensor located where it 'sees' the oil pan temperature. To get a similar reading, in the E4OD, locate the temperature sensor in the test port. The test port is located on the forward driver's side of the transmission, just above the oil pan, it's thread should be 1/8" pipe .Larry 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: Banks Transcommand Reply #7 – January 03, 2018, 12:35:50 pm If you want to install a temperature sender in the oil pan itself, install this device the next time the oil pan is removed for a filter change. Drill the proper sized hole and bolt it in, using the center threaded 1/8" hole, for the sensor.Amazon.com: Derale 13010 Universal Drain Plug Kit with 1/8" NPT Plug: AutomotiveLarry 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
