I have a 99 silverado 5.3 with a 4L65E and it has about 84k. I was interested in getting a 2200-2500 stall converter, but a guy told me he thought it might make me have tranny problems. I don't want any tranny problems, but i really want that stall. So I thought I would get some more opinions. I installed the vette servo, bigger boost valve, and a tranny cooler.
Thanks

 

Most of us here run a torque converter (propper name) without any issue although I would recommend stalling up higher than that. Do you plan on doing a cam later?

 

depends on what you plan on doin with the truck..
I have a Yank TT3000 and love it...

 

trever, im sure you know this but just to clarify, EVERY auto trans has a torque converter, but most of us put in a torque converter with a higher stall rating, commonly called a stall

with a tranny cooler, you'll be fine. most go with a 2600-3000 and a few are tryin as high as 3600

 

Dont go cheap on it I did fell apart and ate my transmission pump...Now I have a PI triple disk 9.5" 3000 and love it...

 

Another Q would be is, where is your power output? I haven't heard of any consistant issues other than "white smoke syndrome" associated with installing a Torque Converter.

However, if you are high on the power output scale, then you are on borrowed time with the tranny.

Nothing directly related to installing a TC.

 

Uh, yes but it is still a torque converter no matter what speed it is stalled to.
Like saying NOS or MOTOR or LS1 (refering to a car)

 

I agree 100%!!!!
I went cheap on my first one and i finally got the problems worked out almost a year later..

 

wait the PI's eat transmission pumps??

after all the good **** I read about the PI's I finally get one in and now I hear bad ****... great..

 

I can live with MOTOR (engine), or LS1 (Camaro, Firebird),...but please don't say NAAWWWZZ lol...it's nitrous, or spray, or giggle juice (unless of course you're referring to the company Nitrous Oxide Systems...)
