Thanks Chris@Circle D and LQ9_Z71
First off I want to thank Chris at Circle D for sending me the bad *** stall. He was awesome to work with. I discussed what I wanted with him online a while back, and when I called he remembered me. He called my tuner and discussed with him what I had picked out and they both agreed that it was the best option. I went with a 258mm 3400 multidisk. It took a week to build and Chris didn't charge me until it shipped. Three days shipping and it was on my doorstep. I couldn't be happier.
Next, I'd like to thank LQ9_Z71. Without him I'd still be working on it. He got us access to a lift and all the tools we could need. That, along with his tranny knowledge (not the type Tyler has), we got the converter installed in around 4 hours. I can't thank him enough.
Now some pictures.
And the only injury was to myself, hammering my Y pipe off.
Oh well. Anyway, the truck is driving fairly decent for no tune on the trans yet. It's locking and unlocking while cruising, like expected. Launching with Traction Control on is still very screwy. It takes off in second, then jams first at around 4500 RPM. That'll all be ironed out on Thursday. I've driven it through town and cruising and haven't seen temps over 165 yet. It's got about 50 miles on it. It'll get about 400 more before the REAL tuning.

Just an update....
Everything is going great. After the tune, she's footbraking to 3600 in 4x4 and 3200 in 2wd. It's great on the launch, especially on a little nitrous.

brutal sierra, i have taken my truck into the dealer with converter all mods in sig. they did a diagnostic on it, replaced hte cats and faulty injectors, and best of all, covered by warranty, not a dime paid. they hooked up the computer to read codes or what not, and it didnt even mentioned my programming. My cousin has been working in GM service for about 11 years now. He is the regional service manager for GM south Florida, and as he told me. you can have wahtever u want on the truck, if the dealer cant prove that it led to the failure then warranty covers it. And by no means can they deny u the service.
