ok ok, you got me. Its frickin aweful. Im installing 4.10s next mod. The truck lost 3-4 mph in the 1/8th. feels slower up top. the stock 3.42s just absolutely dont work with this loose stall haha

i didnt like the feel of my 3200 too much when i had 3.23s. now with 4.10s it feels way better and pulls way harder

Please correct me if im wrong as im new to the stall converter also (about 6 months ago I installed my PBlv2 and PB2500 stall). I read somewhere on here (i think it was here) that with 3.42 gears your stall will flash higher due to the engine having to work harder to get things moving vs. a 3.73 gear. I can see that making a stall seem looser. Am I makeing any sense?

yea to me ur converter seems a lil loose which yes i went from 373s to 456 gears and the lower the gear it will tighten up the stall and i got plenty of people thinking my truck got slower once i installed my 3k stall since it revs higher driving normal almost like a slow dodge lol until u flash it and get on it

I like this explanation. My Yank TT2600 is considered "tight" then and I LOVE it!

Seems tight to me. Then again im used to my 3800 yank. Mine takes about 2700-3000 to stay with traffic from a red light. At half throttle its about 3800 or so...

from your first video, and your comment about where it brake stalls to; it acts exactly how i would expect a 3200 converter to act. i wouldnt call that converter loose at all. also like mentioned above, the lock up looks really sloppy.
