Might want to do a search in the drivetrain section, TCI is without a doubt the worst converter for our trucks. Mine was a POS as well as MANY others who have ahd problems with them. Good performance but the lock-up clutch goes out pretty quickly. Maybe you will get lucky, just trying to forwarn you about the potential problem by going with that brand.

there's a local place around here that opens up the tci and replaces the lockup clutch, few people have done it and they seem to be holding up. i'm sure he's gonna do that.
g/l with that stall and JR built tranny jorge, get r done before winter ends.
