Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) advice

[RobertMiller1]

what kind of torque convertor would be ideal for a daily driver, NO RACING,

Working truck used for towing?



Wouldn't a lower stall speed, more efficient fluid coupling converter be ideal in this scenario?



In my daily driving (transgo kit) I still wish I had better 'coupling' part throttle stop and go driving.

Stock if no other mods are done to truck. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

So what was the point of this response, since 'mods' are clearly in my signature.

Any converter is better then the stock one!



Which converter is for you depends on which transmission builder you go with. Theres DTT, Dave G. , ATS, Suncoast... ... ..... are the "known" names. Call'em up and chat with them, and tell them what you want. If you go too tight on the fluid coupling then in stop and go traffic it will heat your transmission up... ... .

In my own opinion (not being an auto transmission expert) you don't have enough mods to require spending $$$ on a TC. A lower stall speed may have a detrimental effect when pulling heavy loads. (low boost,smoke,high EGT's)
