Default T/B Converter going in Today!

I ordered the 24241978 258mm converter that is for the 2008 models. They also showed a 280mm. Oh well I will let everyone know how it does in a 2WD CC 5.3 w 3.73

It showed 2 for the I6 TB. One was the first design that was 280mm and the 2nd design that was 258mm. So I went with the 258mm.

That thing won't last long behind your huge truck and a 225 shot of NX.
Mine lasted 2yrs total. First was a cam only 4.8 then it went to a H/C 5.3 and it didn't last much longer.

Goodluck with the converter man! Not trying to bash ya bud, just stating past experience.

I definately would've spent the extra $50 and got the built one from chris at Circle D
