hey im new to DTR..but not new to the hp bug.. ive got an auto tranny and with all new power upgrades i have the stock converter is slipping at low rpms.. do yall have any suggestions on the best torque converter for the price? or is there a kit out there that i can put on the tranny to help keep the converter locked up or is a new converter the only way out?

thanks Asa

 

Welcome to the DTR!
Do your research on here for what suits your needs, but a TC and VB should be installed together. Your stocker is done for.

 

ok with the TC and VB what kinda power increases can i expect? ive got friends in my hometown with the same set ups but with the 6spd 2wd...should i be able to beat them no problem or will it b close?

 

I just got my Goerend Brothers converter in and put the truck in the shop to have the tranny rebuilt and upgraded. I added stage three nozzels and the napa converter did not like the inj.. And at almost a 100,000 miles I figure it is due.

 

It all depends on what you get and the condition of your tranny. Do a search. Lots of threads about different types of converters and results, etc.

 

go Goerend Brothers. i just got mine and love it until i broke my input shaft. i had the same problem until my tranny blew up.

 

You will get a noticable increase in power to the rear wheels. Dyno #'s....don't know, but SOP feel when accelerating is definately there!
Agree with above...never do a TC without a valve body.... and your TC is shot.
We (CTD owners) are blessed with 3 great, competing aftermarket tranny companys.... DTT, Goerend & Suncoast. Do your homework, make your choice, and you'll be happy.

Race your buddys from a dead stop... use 4x4 to launch... and they will never touch you. If on the hwy, lock out OD and start at 40 mph (if 3.55 rear end) for best results.

hey well thanks for the help...my buddies are all gettin clutches now but even after they got their clutches they are still kinda scared to race HAHA thanks for the race advice too RowJ

 

I picked my truck up Fri. Man what a deference did the Goerend Brothers tripple disc and the Tim Holt shift kit mode I found on this sight also upgraded some parts Dave Goerend recomended and rebuilt the trans.
