I've done lots of research offline on this topic. I've PM'd lots of people, talking back and forth about it. I've accumulated some knowledge on it. I've listened to other people's experiences, and I've also read every single post on this forum, and others, related to the Trailblazer torque converters, and Trailblazer torque converter vs. TT2600 torque converter, and the TT3000 torque converter. I think I'm pretty well versed. And I think the TT2600 is in fact the stock Trailblazer TC, simply repainted, just as others have told me they either already knew or highly suspected.

You differ with me. That's fine, you can do that. But when I ask you for data or information, I don't seem to get anything of substance. That's also your prerogative. But please don't change the subject to what my motivations might be. I may or may not get a Trailblazer, a TT2600, or a TT3000 torque converter. I may not get a torque converter at all. That's pretty irrelevant, because at the end of the day, some people may have benefitted from all of this research and question-asking. And if that's all that comes out of this, I'm okay with that. I think that's what these forums are all about.

So I'll pose the essence of this thread back to you as a question - if the Trailblazer and TT2600 converters are in fact one in the same converter, why would anyone want to pay $200-$300 more for the Yank?

They still use the same method, and same machines to make their drinks as they did in 1850 when it was built. Here is a couple pics.
