Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Which convertor.

[EAdams]

It's time for a new torque convertor, I'm considering BD, ATS, DTT. I would appreciate some feedback of your excperiences with any or all the above. I will be towing a 30ft. fifth wheel camper 10,000# give or take.

Any of them

Any of the converters you mentioned will be a vast improvement over the stock converter. Of course I'm partial to the DTT.



But I would never recommend just adding a converter to your transmission. Even with the improved VB you show in your signature you will probably have serious transmision problems if you don't have the trans gone through and have the entire trans upgraded.



Just a VB and TC do not make an upgraded transmission. There are many other internal problems with our auto transmission. Once the whole trans has been attended to then it will be reliable towing at your weights.



Hope this helps and makes sense, if not feel free to PM me.

Dunrite

Don,t forget about Dunrite performance converters Rip at Source Automotive sales them and they are as good as the others.

Has anbody ever heard of Hobart Transmission in Dallas Texas? He uses a billit stator and builds the rest of the convertor. Says its just as equal as a DTT or ATS. Uses a triple clutch.

call the vendors

I think different companies are better at some applications than others. I love my Goerend Brothers converter/transmission. DTT and Suncoast have huge followings as does ATS. They are not all the same, that does not mean one is beter than the other. Pick the one best for your application
