congratulations on your decision to protect your investment
and get the most from your truck or RV! This note has been
included to provide you with information concerning the
Banks Transcommand on your vehicle.
While the ford e4Od and 4R100 transmissions offer a
smooth and comfortable shift, in many cases a more
positive shift is necessary. If the vehicle is used to
carry moderate loads, used for towing, or modified to
increase power, such as through turbocharging, excess
clutch slippage will result which can cause damage to the
transmission.
The Banks Transcommand increases clutch pressure to
reduce slip-time thereby providing a positive shift which
extends the life of the transmission. The amount of
Transcommand effect is dependent upon throttle position,
engine RpM and mile per hour. The Transcommand, in
conjunction with the ford computer, is fully automatic in
sensing load conditions. The more load sensed, the more
the Transcommand will increase the line pressure on the
clutches.
Included with the Banks Transcommand is a
Transcommand bypass plug (see figure). By unplugging
the Transcommand from the wire loom and inserting the
bypass plug in its place, the vehicle can be returned to the
factory transmission control functions. This is helpful during
diagnostic and service work when it may be desirable to
isolate the Transcommand from the system. The vehicle
should not be operated without the Transcommand or
bypass plug connected.
