One thing is with how heavy your tuck is you would think someone would have to build the converter for you weight sense weight has alot to do with how a converter will act. Or does that not make any sense lol?

You get what you pay for in a converter. Dont buy junk as it will cost you in the long run when you have to rebuild that trans. A good billet piece custom built will be in the 700 dollar range from the sponsors on here. If interested check us out as well as the other sponsors on this board.

The Yank SS 3600 is a great all around converter.
