Question Torque convertor-stall speed?

I dont want to give up all of my towing capacity or low end 4x4 use either.

How will a 2400 or 2600 stall effect me?

you shouldnt lose any towing with that low of a stall... I am going TB stall I think it will end up about 2600 or so...

That's what I have in my truck and I would agree. It still makes a big difference in the launch.

Ditto. Nice improvement during launch and shifts. I also tow regularly with mine (over 5K towing on my Vig so far) and the trans temp is the same as with oem verter. Definitely takes a little more rev to get going from a stop with a trailer but like I said, as long as temps stay low you should be good to go. I also LOVE the triple disc lockup...feels like another gear

Hey Bish
I have been wondering about your Vig2400,is it a 12" = 300mm or is it a 11" TB ?Another thing about Vig. is he doesnt recommend a stall over 1800 or so for towing.Did you tell him how much your were going to tow?I feel my 2400 12" yank is about max loosenes when I tow a 7500+ trailer,and its been flawless.I will be buying another stall soon and plan to tow max loads at times What say you?

Think it's a 12". I discussed my towing requirements with Chuck @FLT and he discussed with Precision Industries and they came to the conclusion that this would work. I told him I tow between 5K-7K and long distances sometimes(several thousand miles). I was originally concerned about the towing side with that stall but again, put my trust in Chuck. I too think it's about the max stall I'd want with the towing I do. I still figure you are doing no hard if the temps stay normal. I REALLY like the way it perked up take-offs.

a TB stall should be about perfect for what you are wanting... they stall up about 2600 or so behind the 5.3

It should not effect your towing, but something will have to be done with your tranny cooler because your temps will be much higher.

Well I've a ran YANK 2600 for awhile, and really enjoyed it and your soppose to keep 100% of your towing capacity with it, I would just add another tranny cooler to make sure you keep tranny temps down.

Rodger on the tranny cooler, check my sig, it was done with the last mod. I chose the largest of the B&M coolers. Should be enough!
