****. I pulled our RV with a 258mm triple disc at 3800rpm stalled.

My damn 370 sounded fkn sweet at 4500 rpm at a red light trying to get it moving!

I PM’d that guy Friday to make sure he has another one of those brackets, I will order one as soon as I hear from him and then grab the cooler.

Got the tc installs and trans cooler .
I ended up modifying the stock bottom mounting bar instead of using EAD bottom brackett , used EAD upper brackett and everything else in that kit ..

that kit helped out a lot and it worth the money .

for the tc it’s night and day . Soo much faster and launches like a raped ape . Almost broke all the tires free , enough to engage traction control on awd ..
im really happy with the 3500 stall

Nice job! Got my bracket kit ordered so as soon as it gets here I will order the cooler and get that installed.
I'm with ya on the temperature rise, before the new converter the temp ran around 125 to 140, after the new stall it hovers over 160 to 170, I bet an August Texas heat would put it in the 200 range easily!!
