If you want a new one then you just have to order it for the current year model, so you would have to order the part for an 05 trailblazer.
The checkball is there to regulate the amount of fluid that goes into the tc. When you run a smaller converter like the TB one then it needs more fluid for more cooling when you drive hard or tow. Removing the checkball does that.

Now it has a steady pull from the second you hit it, not that "after burner kicking in" feel I used to get when I got out about 60'. If you want to use the truck for a daily all around driver I wouldn't go any higher with the stahl. If you are drag racing it on a regular basis, look at a yank or equivilent. My guess is the yank 3000 will net you about 1 car length in the quarter and set you back an additional $400-$500 green ones, plus be a little annoying when going to the grocery store, which is likely 95% of the typical persons use.

I have had mine in for about a week now, and it is excellent. It is a very mild converter around town, but I can stall mine up to 2600. Launches are much better, and I think that I will gain a decent amount off the line. Definately worth the $, although I think that bigger would still be streetable.
