Default Fuddle Converter?

Anyone have one or know much about them? Would you reccomend? If not what converter would you suggest? I know Yank, Vig, and circleD have good reputations, the Fuddle looks well priced however.....

Looking at the 3800 stall btw.

I sent mine in for a refresh/restall (3400 to 3200) cause I thought it was too loose and I never got it back!!! Turns out they are "rip-off junkies"!

i have a 4000. one of the HPS and it have never been an issue. I must have been lucky or got one before they were poops.

20K and it still locks up and stalls great

From what I have seen on the forums they use to be alright. They slowly got worse and worse to the point where they just blatantly starting ripping people off and not caring about customer support at all. I would stay away from them.

look for a used stall in the classifieds.... there are several that would work great and have very few miles or have been re-flashed with 0 miles on them yo can pick up for half price!

I have a VIG 3600 that flashes around 4000 and i love it! drives like stock till you floor it.

Yeah, the more I look at the Vig converters the more and more I think I like them. Their warranty and free re-stall is a major plus. Im still tossed betweenm them and Yank....hopefully I can find one for less here though!

i had a fuddle bought it back before all the **** started with the company. It was a 3400 and it felt loose but hit hard at the track. I loved it. then the lockup burnt up in it. and I sent it back and I ordered a 3600 I ended up selling it to a friend and he loves it. But I believe the guy that orginally rebuilt my trans messed it up. It always ran hot. I had a 3200 Vig. and it burnt up the lockup also. So i would go with fuddle get a yank, vig, or a performabuilt and run a big cooler! Get a good cooler I have a B&M 29,000 GVM

I just ordered today a level 2 performa built with a billet 3600 hopefully i have good luck with this tranny.
