The places I'd look for a bulletproof TC are below. They do their own products for the most part.

I'm using the Precision Industries "Stallion" torque convertor, especially made for Powerstroke Diesels.
You can see it at http://www.converter.com/stallion_power.htm if you like, which has the billet front cover and is a "triple-disk" torque convertor.
Works great for me!

Triple-disk? How's the noise on that?
Most '99's have a double-disk TC, so it makes them a lot noisier than the later models with only a single disk. I always think more is better, but the noise can be annoying, just wondering how the triple disk compared.

I called Precision today. They said the TC was about $1,050.00 plus shipping, maybe another $35.00 to NJ. Location would make a difference. It has a two year warranty. They are supposed to be the first with this design. I might try it on the 96 I am getting next week.

The early '99s that have a double disc TC make a rattling sound. Many compare it to a bunch of cans rolling around. I've got a TC lock up switch on mine, and when I lock it up at idle, the truck gets extremely quieter. According to the tranny guy at the local dealer, they just sound that way, and that's part of hte reason they went to a single disc TC in the newer models.
That's why I asked if the triple disc is any more noise, or if it depends on who made the tranny and TC, could be quieter.

Hmm...I think for those that would like to push Precision for a better deal...it could happen, as I paid about $100. less than stated above for mine...although I did have to pay the shipping and associated costs to get it to Canada.
It grabs like no other, and when locked...stays locked until YOU want it unlocked.
Since BTS uses the Precision triple disk, it was a big part of why I chose to try it, and its certainly worked perfectly ever since!
