Hey guys I'm about to rebuild my transmission in my 2000 silverado and figured that instead of trusting my torque converter to a local shop I would rather just get one from Yank or Circle D. Is a Yank 2600 gonna effect my gas mileage very much?

Also is it worth getting a 2600 or should I go with a 3000?

My truck is currently bone stock but it in the near future it will get a rebuilt 5.3l with a mild cam, tune, and 33" or 35" tires.

 

I have the Yank 2600. Heavy city driving a noticed a 1 MPG loss at the most, of course on the highway the mileage stays the same. Great converter for a lifted application with big tires.

 

On my truck it went up .2 MPG ,hey at least it didn't go lower.

 

Thanks for the input guys!

 

The 278mm converter is what you are asking about, and it takes a very small hit on MPGs. 1-2 is the norm, even at the 3000-3200 version. Let me know if you need any help selecting a stall, be glad to go over the options.

I reccomend 3000.. That's what should have come stock in ls trucks

 

I read on yank's website Forgive me I'm new at this. Is the 2.1 stall torque ratio the efficiency of the converter? How does Circle D's modified TB converter and modified 300mm converter compare?
