so since i noticed my transmission starting to slip, which it has only gotten worse, i started looking around for a new torque converter. goerend seems like the way to go but i found this on summit racing. what do yall think, is it a good deal? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...6&autoview=sku

 

3800 RPM stall would NOT be an improvement.

 

Wouldn't waste my money on that when you can spend a few bucks more and get one from a Reputible source... Plus, I don't think that summit one is designed for a Diesel... Definately a no from me!!

 

darn now im really stumped. im almost POSITIVE my converters the problem, when i pull onto a grade it almost seems like the convert isnt doing anything then it slams and i start climbong the hill slowly, on flat ground any severe moves into the throttle and it seems like i go to way higher rpms before the trans shifts but it shift firm. my fluid is 4 months old and is BURNT but its not loow on fluid at all. is this deffinatly my converter????????????

 

I didn't say your converter was good, all I said was that a 10" high stall gasser converter would not be an upgrade. You need a converter for a diesel.

 

yea i know im sorry dave i wasnt implying you said the converter was good, i forgot to add in the beginng if that post that i was talking to somebody a few days ago explaining the syptoms of my trans and they told me that my converter was probably good, that didnt sound right to me so i was curious what yall thought with the symptoms i described.

 

my bad i didnt even look at the stall rating on it or the fact that it was for a gasser my eyes were souly fixated on the price

 

Go Goerend!!!

 

I agree 100%

 

yep, don't go cheap on the converter you will regret it.

 

You won't regret going with a Goerend....I've got one, a huge improvement.

 

Hahahaha.

3800 RPM stall converter+cummins= not moving.

3800 stall? holy crap, thats alot for a small block mopar.

 

I think Goerend is $650 for a 727 converter. Lower stall, billet front, torrington bearing

 

I am thinking of a new converter for my truck in my sig and i was told that if i put a new converter in it it can open up a new can of worms. Is this true?

 

I just fell out of my chair laughing.

by opening a can of worms do you mean blowing up your 600,000 mile transmission? Adding that converter will put alot more stress on your tranny.
Get that bad boy rebuilt so it will last
