Just dont know why they would offer a lower stall speed as opposed to a higher stall speen for spool up.

Lower speed for milage??

 

I'm going to be running one pretty soon.. The guy is confident in his product.. Knowledgable too...

 

If you dont mind let me know how you like it if you get one first. Im a little worried that mine is about to take a dump.lol

 

I just installed a different manufacturer's Torque Converter a few months back and I couldn't be happier. I went with a 1600 rpm stall since I wanted the towing benefits and I don't have a larger turbo to spool up. Mine has triple clutches and was made by Precision Industries. I got it for $500 which I felt was a great deal. I'm back to stock right now and it's amazing how well the truck holds OD even when towing in the hills. I haven't noticed any mileage changes, but I also haven't run on the highway in a while which is where I normally monitor the mileage.

Just as a side note, they say the stock stall is between 18-1900 rpms.

 

What led you to beleave that your torque converter was going to go bad? I have a 99/psd w/180k on it and it makes a lot of noise. I have spent aome time around other psd`s shis week some newer some older none of them sound like mine.At an idle lattles and as soon as you give it some fuel it goes away untill I stop again?

 

I have to get mine checked out before I do anything.. Might need a whole trans..

That's good to hear Donny.. Did you get the PI from David?

 

It might be the whole trans, but it kinda shuders- vibrates on take off sometimes. And under load like when you give it a little gas to pass someone but not enough to downshift you can feel it. But the transmission is startin to shift funny now too. I had the dealer do a trans flush when they put the motor in, but i think they forgot, because the other day my external filter started leakin so i went and got an o ring for it, and when i opened it up the filter hadent been changed. I just havent had time to do it my self. Also, I think the OD shift solonid is gettin weak since sometimes its hard to get it to shift into OD, sometimes it wont after hard accelaration like a get on ramp.

 

William,

I would've bought it from David at PI except for the fact that I found the exact one I needed on eBay from a guy in Salt Lake City. He decided against installing it in his truck and so I picked it up for a pretty cheap price ($500) for what I believe to be a very good torque converter. I'm very pleased with the purchase.
