BD 47re Valvebody questions - Competition Diesel.Com

I have the BD Valvebody and was wondering if the factory 1-3 shifting utilizes factory hydraulic pressures or if it's been modified for increased pressure in all gears? There was talks that BD had been in partnership with The original Dun-rite designer before he passed away and that you currently use so of the same upgrades is there any insight on this. Thanks

the rumor i heard was that BD bought a few vb's and COPIED them, dude found out about it and began refusing to build them anymore.

They actually had him come up to the shop for a day and show them what he did and why he did it that way. So I am not sure how him showing his tricks to BD means they copied him.

Kantdrive55 is correct. The V/B is modified for all gears.
