KJT13 Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 What's up guys? It's that time for me again. I need a new TC. I've gone through too many of these things for some reason. Anyone got a suggestion on what to run? My truck is still N/A with a Zippy Shift Kit, Zippy tune, larger cooler... Here's my history: Yank TT2600 - detonated in 6000 miles Performabilt 2400-2600 - started slipping after 60k-80k miles TBSS - Dec. 2010 - present, nasty slip into 4 gear, had codes read today, TC 4th gear failure The truck is a daily driver for another few months with a hair under 150k. I'm not looking to go crazy price-wise but I need something that is gonna give me performance as well as hold up to alot of driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Keith, it's time to go with a proven unit that will hold up like a PI Vigilante or Circle D..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krambo Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Keith, it's time to go with a proven unit that will hold up like a PI Vigilante or Circle D..... Hey Keith! Well, I would agree here. A reliable, good performaing converter doesn't come cheap. My question is with 150k on the clock, how long since a refresh on that transmission? Pulling a tired trans to install a new converter may not make the most financial sagacity if you are paying for the service. Refreshing the trans at this time maybe should be considered. For a converter, Circle D and PI have the converter simply by their rep and lack of failures. I would suggest a multi disk lock up 2800 - 3000 stall. Expect to pay $750 - 1K.

T-Bag Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 U got 60K out of your PB stall? pretty good, that what I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Depends on your budget, but I'd do a Vigilante if you can swing it. I'm not yet the big fan of the Circle D for trucks that are mostly street driven. The high stall race trucks that are n/a seem to fair well with them, but I haven't seen many happy other than that. The I6 TB converter GM brand or Precision seem to be good for alot of miles and stall to around 2600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowsniper3006 Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've run a Vig converter and all though it never broke...they could never hit the stall speed i wanted, after 3 restalls. I have heard they improved since i ran it I ran the TCS converter from Canada...and it was a monster. With more hp i have yet to run the 60 foot time that converter gave me, and it was only a 3800, now I'm running a 4500. I bought it used from Chase and i think he got his fastest 60 foot time from it as well. I ran 3 60 foot times in the 1.6's with it and the best was 1.633. The down side...i blew it up and so did Chase. So if you want to go fast....for a little while....it will do it. Now I'm running a circle D, like zippy said, I'm happy with it, but i think the 60 foot time could be better for a 4500 stall. When i bought it, i told the guy my set up and i planned to beat the crap outta of it....and he said, ok try and break it...I'm still trying. I mean no disrespect to the guys running a TCS converter from AZ, but i have yet to see a good 60 foot time come out of one. A lot of fast trucks, but the 60 foot times are lacking in my opinion.
