Default what Torque Converter do i need

Ok guys I am about to order a Yank Torque Converter but I don't know what one I should get. I have a 2003 SS Silverado. I will need to be able to tow a boat trailer that the boat and tandem axle trailer weight 5,400 lbs. so do I need to get like a yank TT 2600 or a 3000???

I've got the TT3000 and love it. They say it still keeps the same tow rating as stock, but I think it would be a little much. Then again, with all wheel drive, it would be bad-*** in your truck. I knocked 4 tenths off of my ET with traction problems. I would think you could do better then that!....and still tow the boat, but I would ask someone at Yank or Tbyrne about that. BTW, I bought mine from Tbyrne and had a great experience. I highly recommend them as a place to get one from. I think the biggest thing is the added heat that they add to the trans, but with an external cooler you should be good.

I think 2600 is the absolute lowest you should go.

Don't be scared of the stall, the stall is your friend. THE stall is MY friend, isn't that right my precious? <strokes the stall converter lovingly>

The 2400 is half the price and only a tenth a sec difference. Plus it looks like stock so the dealer can't give me a hard time if I break the trany.
