yea im thinking of getting the trango shift kit for mine, and then a fluid and filter change. and then maybe do what you did with the computer cuz it seems like its always searching for what gear it wants to be in and dont really like it. i have an 02, i think its the 45rfe? i have about 46k on mine. its been having small hicups on the highway every once in a while
After you've checked to see if there are any flashes for the 45rfe's computer, get B&G to flash your PCM with an aggressive flash and delete the torque management. There are 2 shift kits from Transgo. One is like the kit for the 42rle, and is a shift correction kit. The other is a high performance shift kit called a reprogramming kit. Either one will help it lock up a lot better and shifter quicker. Very easy to stay in a gear. The torque converter is a big part of the problem too. Upgrade it to an APS setup for your application for a nice improvement. You won't believe the difference getting your transmission and programming fixed will make. Then, if you've gone to bigger tires, you just need to spend the next round of money on 4.10's.
Edit:
Just read your signature about selling. I would just do the fluid changes. That will at least help.
