Hi all,I'm kinda new here,I was wondering if anyone has A TCI torque converter (Summit sell them for around $520)I use my truck for ocassional towing (under 10000 lbs) only mods are 4'' exhaust and edge EZ

 

I thought I read once that their "performance" converter actually raises the stall speed. I don't know it Summit Racing got the description mixed up or if thats true. Seems to me that would make an even looser converter, and opposite of what we want.

 

isnt TCI what the stock TC is?? when u pop the hood and look at the info on the bottom of ur hood i think it says we use TCI torque converters...but i wouldnt quote me...i cant remember exactly..anyways i wouldnt get a TC from a place that doesnt deal with diesel performance on a regular basis

 

I havent heard a lot(good or bad) about TCI, and I thought about going with them, but ended up going what I think was a much better route. Call Dave Goerend at www.gbtransmissions.com . He sells a single disc converter with a great stall, and backs it with a 100k mile warranty. A buddy runs an 01 Dodge with a Edge Comp, 4 inch exhaust, and RV275 injectors. He loves it so far, and has had no problems with it. He also hauls with it some. I wouldnt expect it to hold a lot more than what he has since it is a single disc, and he has the triple disc for high hp and heavy use, but its a great converter, and Dave will definately stand behind his warranty. His single disc is $650. Thats $130 more than what the TCI you mentioned is, but Dave has awesome customer service, and will treat you right, and take care of you if any problems ever do come out of it. Now im not saying the TCI is bad in any way, because it may last forever; just kinda trying to give you another option to research. Do a search on this site for "Goerend", and you will have plenty of reading. Dont mean to sound like a salesman; just a happy customer. Let us know what you do.
