Default TCI3000 vs TT3000

I know that the yank allows you to maintain stock towing capacity. I personally wont be towing much, maybe furniture if anything. TCI is about $300 cheaper too. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..............

Well have ya considered a used PI converter? Chingy got his for like $400 I believe...

2.55 STR typically, free restalls for a year (or two?), you'll be able to haul some household goods around or maybe even a jet ski...

PI is just of high of quality as the Yank (if not more so, besides you can actually TALK to them!)...more food for thought...

I don't think the TCI has a good enough lockup clutch
for anyone who likes to tow. Mine won't even hold at
half throttle, against the mass of a Camaro. I think
you want a multi-disc large clutch if you are gonna
be dragging weight.

Foregive me I'm learning, So after I spend hundreds of dollars on a verter I have to get the f*cker re-stalled ever so often?

Are you from League City Texas? Nice place, i grew up in Texas City & Galveston.

Anyway, im going with the TCI 3500. I have a 2600 in my Blazer, and its awsome . They do have the same stall rate, TCI has been around a long long time, and its cheaper.

I hear great things about Yank, but compare spec sheets and materials there built with, and i dont see a difference.

No, thats just if you increase power it will stall higher. Say you throw a Radix on a 3000 stall may end up stalling to 3500. Then you can get it restalled back down if you need.
