Hi, Guys im new in this website i had one question i have a single cab 5.3 with a 231/239 cam and i just bought a Circle d torque converter.. Its a 3800 triple disc with lock up.. Im currently spraying 150 of the line. Do
You guys think is going to work good? Its 2E. I dont know if it gonna get loose or not.. Thanks!

 

Welcome to the forums. I think your torque converter will work fine. Can we get some more details, like tranny, rear gears, other supporting mods you have done?

 

My tranny was rebuilt 6 months ago, its the 4l60e with shift kit and servo. On the back i got a eaton possi with 411s and some traction bars. . My truck is 02 so i did the nnbs swap and 799 heads and some other lil things

 

Converter should work fine.

 

I dont think the circle D E converter will work with spray. Best bet is to call Chris @ Circle D.

I run there 5c which is a 4000 and plan on spraying a 100 shot on top..

 

I was talking to Chris Sehorn he said i should be fine with 150 shot. But i have to keep on eye with the rpm dropping in 2-3 shifts. He said if it drops less then 500 its going to be loose

 

Since this doesn't really belong in the Internals sections, I'm gonna move it.

 

And welcome to the Transmission section.

Are you tuning the PCM to lock the converter in 3rd and maybe even 2nd?
If so, at what MPH?
I would suggest unlocking it during the shift.

Chris and Brian from CircleD are very active in this section. Hopefully they will chime in soon.

 

I was talking to him yesterday he said that it could work

 

This is a tough call. The 2E converter does not really take the spray, but works great on motor. Give it a shot (pun intended) and let us know if you want to make any changes. We're happy to help.

Thanks! I was talking to Chris yesterday and i still have one restall
