Thank you scott. I want a gas gauge like that, it fills itself up LOL.

perfect video of what I can show him. Converter keeps you in a certain amount of rpms after shifting and yada yada.

What size is that in the video?

~3800, and it shows lockup around 38mph. Basically explain to him that at highway speeds, your truck will get the exact same gas mileage as stock, and will drive the exact same. The only thing that will be affected is in town driving, but won't be too bad if you keep your foot out of it.

It has it's moments but my truck isn't anything special. Also, with that 4.8, you need as much converter as you can.
