Torque Converter discussion
Flyin6:
OK, let's talk torque converters
The subject vehicle will be C-Max, a 2011 LML Silverado in great condition with right at 90,000 miles
The truck has 37" tires, 4.56 gears, a stock trans with a deep aluminum pan, and is working with a soon to be 600HP engine.
The line pressures and shift programs have all been modified with EFI Live tuning and frankly the thing shifts very well.
I use the truck as my daily driver (Except for the horrible turning radius), Who would want to drive anything else...except maybe a Land Rover/Range rover...oops, sorry me British side crept out there!
I tow mostly light loads around 4000 lbs but on occasion get up around 8000 lbs, but seldom anything higher. I tow about 25% of the time (Really) and the truck gets into 4-Wheeling situations almost weekly.
So with all these factors in mind, what or whose torque converter would be best for this application
Note: Based on the advice from several sources in the diesel performance world, I will be keeping the stock transmission in it's EFI "Adjusted" state in the truck without replacing it with some stronger variant.

What’s that pig weigh currently or in the future?

8700 is a pretty good number with my lard butt and full tank of fuel

Lifetime warranty and good to 1000hp, should hold you over for awhile

That truck is a good 10k. They're 7800 stock iirc.
