hey guys, i have an 06 sierra extended cab. 5.3 w/ intake, headers and exhuast. i am installing nelson tuned pcm, transgo shift kit, servos, accumulators and a torque converter. in the future i am doing a cam and heads, but not for a while. this is my question; the "converter selector" on yanks website says ill need the pt3200 for the mods i have planned, but a lot of you guys are running the tt3200. is the TT not enough for what im doing? or would the PT be overdoing it? i dont have any plans for forced induction, and i dont tow anything. its a daily driver. thanks

 

the tt3200 will be just fine. Plenty of guys are running the truck thruster in their daily drivers.

 

there are tons of guys with the t3000 in their trucks

is the pt3200 a billet converter or something

 

thats what i fgured. i was thinking the pt is more for retaining towability and forced induction.

 

also, whats the difference in performance of say a 10.5 in. vs. a 9.5 in. converter?

 

not completely sure but i would think that the 9.5 would rev quicker than the 10.5 and i think the 9.5 is made for the cars and 10.5 for the trucks

 

im gonna go with the yank sst3200, that should be good for what im doing now and when i get the cam and heads put in

 

For near-stock trucks it is fine, but I would not put a TT-series converter in any vehicle with a big displacement or FI motor, simply because it lacks a braised cover and (more importantly) an anti-ballooning plate.

Not having these items on a high-HP, high-rpm application is a recipe for taking out your tranny with an exploding torque converter.

 

whats the difference between the tt and the sst converters, and the most this converter will ever see is cam, heads, headers, intake, exhuast and tune. i also read a little bit about the fuddle converter, they have an anti-ballooning plate. anyone have info or experience with those? i guess im not really deticated to one or the other yet.
