hey guys i'm in the process of beefing up my tranny and i want to slip in a 3000 stall. i was thinking of a pi but those r jus to steep for my pockets i was able to find a fuddle 3000 for $400 and i wanted to know what u all thought bout them

 

the only bad thing about them was there customer service but that has changed.
I spoke to John last week concerning a restall, they seem to be back on the ball so i would recommend them to anyone getting a converter.

 

how is the everyday drive? i use my truck as my daily and i put atleast 50 miles on the expressway to and from work plus ne city drive i may need to do.

 

john came down with cancer and spent a good while in the hospital. in effect their customer service went down the drain but they are definately back on the ball. john is more than helpfull

if you go with fuddle make sure and get the HP/Truck series...the performance series isnt strong enough for the weight of a truck IMO....john told me it was but ive seen issues from mild setups.

 

the driveability depends on the specs of the converter,
and the stator size.
The smaller the stator size the looser the converter.

If you have never had a custom stall before dont think that when you press the gas your truck will not roll until 3000-RPM, it will roll in Drive without your foot on the gas like it does now. A stall is something most people believe automatically hurts the daily driving aspect of a vehicle when in reality a good stall under normal driving conditions is hardly noticeable, BUT when you GET ON IT you will know its there.

 

kewl thanks for the info guys. yea it does look like i'm going w/ the fuddle i dont really like the tci (heard to many bad things bout it) and yank well i haven't heard nething wrong w/ that one but IMO fuddle would be the next best thing we'll see how it goes.

 

cant go wrong with yank either. stay away from tci from what i hear.

 

I've put a little over 30k miles on my Fuddle since I had it installed a little over a year ago... Wow! It parked for 6 months while I was on deployment... Anyway, it was my 1st stall and at 1st I wasn't really fond of the way it drives but I have gotten used to it. One thing I would change is that I have a 2.0 STR. With that, I can't spin the tires. I usually don't like to do that but it can be a little frustrating knowing that I've spent all this money on my truck and I can't even do a burnout John asked me if I liked to spin my tires and I told him, I usually try not to because I surpassed my alotted lifetime allowance of tires when I was younger. If I get a chance, I'll have the STR changed later on, or I can just make more power...

Bottom line, I highly recomend Fuddle. John is a really good guy with great customer service.

 

if the times you have showing are with the full list you have in your sig i would imagine the problem is not in the converter, but somewhere else. thats a pretty healthy mod list! your 60' isnt that horible, but then your times dont match the 60' with the mod list you have showing IMO.

you should be able to roast the crap outa your tires with the list you show and the fuddle converter. all of his converters are built on a 2.0 str. he told me that monday.

 

When I ordered it, he asked me what STR I wanted. I didn't even know what it was so, he asked me about roasting the tires... That's been over a year ago, and this was one of the 1st truck TCs he sold. Maybe he's changed things since then.

Should my times be faster? Take off feels really sluggish till about 20-30 mph, then it starts pulling pretty good. This is with 3.42s. That was the only time I've ever been to a track and it was my 3rd and final run. Everyone else's times were starting to get slower due to the heat. I'm sure my lack of experience had a lot to do with the time.
