I has the 2600 in my truck with the RADIX. I liked it .. but after a while I was wanting to move up just a bit. I could only get mine to stall at 2300 no matter how I tried it. I really liked the Yank 2600 in my truck. It made it feel like what I think it should have felt like.

For my new truck I think I will be stepping up to a Yank 3000. If you pull you should definantly go no bigger than the Yank TT3000 as it keeps the factory towing capacity.

DEFINANTLY install ANOTHER tranny cooler. That is VERY good advice from Hit Mna. With the Radix and that big heavy truck spinning all 4 wheels, you will most certainly need to keep that thing cool to last, trust me .. I know! Another piece of advice .. don't go to radical with the shift kit. That is one thing that too much can be a bad thing.

Exactly, it is a factory cooler you guys have. It isn't the best thing around. The B&M Supercooler works great from all the people who have it and it drops the temps a good 10* or so. Ideally the one with the fan that comes on at 200* would be perfect.

A full TransGo with NO washers is your best bet, that is how mine is setup and it is plenty firm shifting.

HRMM .. I think I have an extra VSC that questionably works. I think I am going to rig me up a nice tranny cooler!

You know how they are...they'd probably void you out on powertrain. It has to make something to break.

i.e. Your 3-4 clutch pack burns up and you have that stall converter, you'd most certainly get voided...but they have to prove it was due to that.

IMO, if you are worried about the warranty don't modify your truck

Buy a "stealth" version of the Yank. Its not painted and would be very hard to distinguish form a factory converter.
