Default Any little things.

i can do to get a little more power?
Truck feels pretty damn strong, just off the line its kinda doggish, but i think thats due to the tires.
Maybe 2600-2800 Stall?
Anything else? mods listed in sig.

Stall helped the most on my heavy *** truck that weighs in at 5550 pounds with the tool box and system in it with me.

A stall should help to get you moving, and maybe a mild cam. You could always do gears, but you'd have to do front and rear...kinda falls out of the category of "little things"...

2800, or the ever popular I-6 Trailblazer stall. Stalls around 2500-2600 behind a 5.3, around 2600-2800 behind a 6.0. You can get it from a dealer for less than $200 from what I hear, and even bring your old verter back as a core I think. I think that two verters look the same on the outside. There's a GM part# for the TB verter floating around here somewhere...probably find it searching the drivetrain/suspension forum.

*EDIT* pretty sure this is the part# for a reman I-6 TB converter: 24228709

I will also recommend the TB stall I just ordered a reman one myself.

I got it through this fella, it was $200 Outright (no core)
he does not have any more remans in stock but he does have a GM one $290 Outright

Shoot him an e mail.

His name is Eli, he owns a transmission shop in GA

Much of a difference? Should be a pretty easy job, take out Driveshafts and drop Transfer case and pull back tranny and swap convertors.

It is going to take you about 9-12 hours to do it since it will beyour first time. Its a b***h to get the damn t-case out atleast it was on my truck. The TB stall sounds like what you need. Easy job just time consuming and lots of scrapped knuckles.
