So I got the transmission pulled today, and this is the converter I pulled out of it. This was according to the guy I bought the truck from a pct 3800 converter. I would think a company like that would stamp there converters or have some kind of identification marks on it??? Is this a knock off or what?

At my house already, went with 1.25 and 4 inch piping
In route to my house, this is what circle d recommended considered i stayed with the 4l60. I ordered a transmission from frank so im confident he can build me something that will last

lol I've been there along time ago, ive already learned you can't enjoy both money and going fast. 1 or the other unless your rich and that definitely ain't me. Oh and a wife saying you have more racing parts coming in the mail? What else you going to buy for that stupid truck lol

Tell her what I told my wife when she got bitchy about my car, "Sweetheart, I had this car before I met you and I'll still have it after you're gone." She hasn't said anything since.

lol that's what I tell myself, my local track is full of pro mods and cars on that level. Everyone of them has top dollars trailers, sponsors, 100,000 motors, it's not to many street cars anymore at the track so I know I can't race on there level so that's why I say I'll be OK with my 10 second pass, and my wife definitely knows the truck isn't going anywhere. She has he hobbies too so she doesn't say to much really. Just the usual little comments but I'm OK with that lol.

Props to circle d, haven't received the converter yet but I like how I went on the site and bought the converter and they emailed me a form asking for a break down of my truck down to the tire size. That's pretty neat, I guess that's what you get when you buy quality.

I ended up having mine re-stalled but they sent me a shipping coupon so shipping was super cheap.
Excellent customer service.

Keep all the packaging material as well because you may need to have the stall tweaked, its just one of those things when dialing in a new combo.
