Default torque converter question??

Ok so looking at a website selling transmissions for my truck, they offer a 9.5, 10.5, and 12 inch converter for my truck! Why? I have a 2005 chevy silverado 5.3 2wd help

the 12 inch will be more of a stock stall speed then the 10.5 and 9.5 will be more of a performance higher stalling converter .

i got a 2800 and its great you have a LS motor you should look in to a http://www.circledspecialties.com/p-...converter.aspx with a 3000-3200 stall since your cam swaping later on the LS builds power higher in the revs then my old small block .

We would be glad to help you select a converter. There are a lot of choices and it can get confusing. You can give me a call at the shop or fill out the "Ask Chris" link in my sig and I will email you back.

I love my Yank TT2600. Its perfect and keeps the factory towing capabilities. I tow with mine 6-7 days a week.

Ok so I decided to go with the yank tt3000. Will be a few months before I can install it. Got to save for the performabuilt.

I'm sure it will it claims .4 faster, plus the fresh true trac over that g80 with the 4.10s is gonna be sweet. I'm hoping to be at least 9.50ish
