No, you should upgrade to the 3000. Let me know when you want to sell the 2600

 

Zippy - Like I kind of said above, I think the key to getting a TCC to live in heavy duty use is proper tuning. Locking the TCC at 2,800rpm under heavy slip HAS to be hard on the clutch. (whether it's during a WOT 1/4 mile run, or up a small grade on the highway with a boat in tow).

I'm still running my stock converter, and with the way I've got things tuned, I really don't have a whole lot of desire for a converter. (even though my Yank 2600 has been in my hands for over a year now).

My shift points are set to let the tach hover betwen 1,800 and 2,200 at light throttle takeoffs through the gears.

My TCC locks are almost seamless. I have them occouring when the RPM's are over 1,500 at light throttle - where the stock converter has a good chance of already having it's input/output turning at close speeds. Stock, even the stock converter lockup feels/felt like a gear change. I hated that. I expect this stock TCC to last forever...

 

Don't tempt me... If I do anything, it'll be a Yank Pro Truck 3000. (7000lb tow rating)

... I've REALLY been tossing around that idea a lot lately.

 

hehe.....tempt.....tempt

 

Yeah, me too...

Then again, if a Trailblazer is that inexpesive, and basically the same thing... Hmmm.....

 

BTW, does anyone have the part # for the Trailblazer TC? My dealer said he doesn't think it's a 2600 stall. I want to give him the part # so I make sure it's the right part...
Thanks!

 

should be 24215557

 

I went to gmpartsdirect.com and found 24213393.

Bu I'm not sure if that is correct. The site is not the best for verifying what you're looking at...

Yours may be correct.?.?

 

Not sure, I did a search on old threads and came up with that number. They look pretty close by description. Would have to call the dealer.

 

there are lots of different part #'s for the TB converter. They changed them between years, 2wd/4wd, etc. That is why there are so many different ones, but most of them work the same. Ask zippy for the current correct one if you want to make sure though.
