I have the 3-3200 and it honestly feels stock. My Mom could drive it and not notice a thing.

I tow a little, I have the 40k, and trans temps never move.

I only have a 3000 and the guy at discount who pulled my truck into the bay kept thinking the parking brake was on cause it took so much extra input at the pedal to get it over the hump and into their bay.

My lockup clutch in my converter is burned up and gone, and I've driven on the highway in 3rd and 4th with no lockup for almost an hour and tranny temps never got higher than what they usually were, and this was in the Texas summer. The 40k cooler is a beast.
How did you burn the clutch up?

9" converter, single disc, in a heavy truck that got driven in stop and go traffic everyday for over a year. I was kind of disappointed but it happens.

Ya I was locking mine at 37ish, which was absolutely fine for most of my driving. But moved up to Denton and my job is 10 miles away down I35, which is basically a parking lot. Locking and unlocking over and over everyday must have just taken it's toll on the clutch and burnt it up. I haven't messed with it since my truck just sits in the driveway anymore, but I might get around to it sooner or later.

Mine also locks at 37, but I turned clutch apply time to 0. Less time wearing as the clutch engages, less wear on the clutch. At least that's the theory...

I still havent got my lock up speeds where I want it in normal mode. I have tow/haul set to never lock up so I usually just turn the tow off when I want it to lock.
