Yep, I know nothing about a T18, witch is bassically like a NP435. So it has ONE low gear, so what's ur point. Also I'm runnin a 2500 stall to match the cams rpm range, 2500-6000 rpm.
Its also the brakes on a 1/2 ton axle that are not up to the task of 44s. Its just not safe.
For those of you that don't know, having a 2500 stall converter behind a built motor is like reving up the motor to 2500 rpm and DROPPING the clutch. Ya.. that will break axles.
Are u a complete retard? By ur definition, it wouldn't even move untell it hit 2500 rpm. Far from the truth. A stock auto has a stall of roughly 1200-1800 rpm. Depending on application. So do stock rigs rev up to 1500 rpm than BAM take off like u side stepped a clutch? No. They don't. Don't be so stupid.
hav2wheel, you are the retard. I have a 4000 stall in my race truck, I can hold the brakes til about 3800 before I start to really move. With no brakes and just revving slowly in gear the truck won't start to roll until about 2800rpm. The biggest advantage of having the high stall is when I shift gears the motor won't drag back down to come back up on the rpms. My last motor would spin to 6000, the new motor will be spinning to 7200. And that's getting somewhere when you are talking about a big block.
Stock converters are torque converters and are a bit different in the fact that they just dampen the harsh transition from the motor to the transmission until it reaches the lock up point, where a stall converter is set at specific rpm levels to make a more sudden fluid lock to transfer the power more suddenly and aggressively. This is why a stock converter is much larger than a race stall converter.

Running a stall convertor is not like dropping a clutch on a manual trans, plus mine is not a smaller diameter race convertor, its a stock sized convertor, yes if I hold the brakes, the motor will go up to about 2400 before it starts to move, but its not a harsh engagement. With just a 2500 stall, put it in gear at idle, it will move forward if ur not holding it back with the brakes. Kirby said it was like dropping the clutch when it hits a set rpm, it couldn't be farther from the truth. Also a 4000 stall is hard to compair to a 2500 stall, the stall speed achieved also has a lot to do with vehicle wt axle ratio tire size and how much power the motor puts out.
I do not even have an engine in my F350, so I guess I am not worthy either,,
I WISH that was all I didn't have. So far the parts list that I need is the adapter for my dual transfer cases, brakes, gears, lockers, drive lines, Hydro assist, exhaust and alot of steel... and then the engine swap. I ENVY you only "not having an engine"

WOW!!! Ya'll bicker like little girls. lol. I just spent 20 minutes reading it all.
So... can I be in the bad ass category too?? Well wait, I guess I cant since I just sold the truck. I still have the axles and tires though, so I'm still badass! You can tell me the truck WAS badass atleast.
Its got (had) a big block, 44 boggers, 1 tons, strait headers, just no gears.

I would show you a picture of my hunting truck that I drove 150 miles to the Saluda Mudbog and back (83 feet for 11th place) but not sure you guys could handle it. I drive it back and forth to NC every weekend to hunt too. Swampers suck on the Interstate.
