Milelage wasn't a noticable drop for me. The TT3000 is really tame. The biggest difference was when the converter unlocks the truck is alot louder. If you have a quiet exhaust (I do now) Its just as drivable as stock truck, with an extra kick in the pants off the line. If you drive normally, people who ride in the truck won't know the difference.

On the highway when the converter is locked up, mileage should be the same as it is with the stock converter. It is when you drive around town in stop and go traffic that a difference (decrease) in mileage will be noticed, and the difference is usually fairly significant.

Good Thread, I'm glad someone asked the question. I was trying to decide on a stall as well. I want a 3000, everyone else says get a 3200.

Then on the way home straight hi-way w/ a few stops and lots of road constuction delays, more idiots on the road to slow down and speed up for (went over on a Sun. and came back on a Thurs.) I got 19.4 MPG. How's that for mileage ???

If you run a stall, doesnt that produce more heat and will eat fry your tranny a lot sooner? What are the recommended upgrades when running a 3200 stall?

More heat? Yes. Eat fry? Only if you're not careful. I've heard a higher stall converter can actually extend the life of your tranny because of the stress it takes off the hard parts.

(1) Tranny cooler (2) Shift kit.
