Default Towing with Trailblazer stall?

I was thinking about getting the trailblazer stall. This is what I know about it so far, please correct me if I'm wrong:

-stalls to around 2600 rpms
-looser than stock stall
-less than $300

More than $300 because you will have to pay a $100 core.
Looser than a stock stall but not bad.
You can tow with it, but if it is a dedicated tow rig I probably wouldn't get it. Also you should get a tune for the stall so that they can change the lockup setting to make it more tow friendly.

Towing would not be a problem other then the lockup clutch will slip a little at low speeds. The lockup slippage is an easy fix with tuning or a full transgo shift kit.

-Mine feels pretty loose compared to stock

-stalls to 2700-2800rpm behind 6.0L

Traction is a big problem now wet or dry, it is real hairy in the rain now, but the 6.0L may be the bigest problem, I just put it in autotrac any time I take off, or turning.

The dealer may take your old one back for core, they took mine.

If anyone needs to know how to tune the lockup for slipping or if you want a on/off lock, PM me.
