Just wondering if anyone is daily driving a truck with a higher stall 'verter in the winter. And by winter I mean real muthaf%kkin Canadian winter with the occasional dip to 60 below 0 and a foot of snow on the highway. My truck is gonna get some upgrades in the next year or so, and I'm wondering if a 3000-3600 stall is pushing it in snow. I've got Auto 4wd if that helps. Thanks in advance for any answers.

 

Should be alright. I recently put a 3200 in my truck and i will daily drive it this winter. I'm used to the converter already and its like driving a stock truck. I'm sure your driving habits will adapt to it.

 

I won't know until this winter really. but I don't imagine much problem. You control how hard the verter grabs by giving more or less throttle. If your easing into it then the verter is grabbing ever so lightly unless you get harder on the throttle. So in essence it could make it better because it's like riding the clutch in a manual.

 

i had a 3000 stall, then a 3600 and drove it in the winter. as long as you have 4wd, you'll be fine. i was still able to spin all 4 if there was snow, but as long as you just baby the pedal you'll be fine.

 

With a 3000 rpm stall and deep snow/Ice my truck handled flawlessly....in 4wd but it was really easy to get all 4 turning if not careful but that has nothing to do with the converter

 

It was because of the ice huh

 

My 95 LT1 Caprice did better in the snow with a 3000ish Edge converter than the stock converter.
Like said above, with light throttle the conveter cushioned the power going to the tires.

Dip into the throttle to hard and look out!

 

You'll be okay. Remember that it all depends on your right foot.
