I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... Just a poll, I'm trying to find what converter everyone is running that has no lockup issues and doesn't throw any codes.
I've been reading ls1.com for a long time and just recently heard of lockup problems and codes thrown with the ST3500.
It's like all of a sudden everyone comes out and says - well, of course you have to put in 3rd under 50mph, and the converter does not always lockup right, etc.
Why am I just now hearing about these issues...

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... Well I have a ST3500, and it has thrown codes since day one. Just the usual SES light if I forget to drive in 3rd below 50, and sometimes I get a Flashing SES light for about 10 seconds if I just punch it from a roll below 40 and shift into OD. Not big problems really, more like annoying idiosyncrasies.

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... Hmm, odd... I have had my ST3500 for over a year now and have NEVER had a problem with it. When I get in the car I move the shifter from park, to OD and that is where it stays until I slide it back to park whether it be at the drag strip or tooling around town. Go figure, huh? <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... I have had my SY3500 for over a year now. Never any codes, never any lock up issues. No problems at all <img src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" border="0"> It’s always in OD too...

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... TP4400 here with never a code or a lockup problem. Mine even when I ran 3.23 gears would lockup above 35mph with no problems. Things that make you say HMMMMM.

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... Never thrown a code with my two '98 LS1 F-Bodies nor my '01 Tahoe. My '00 WS6 did throw a code (Pro Yank 3600 Extreme), but it was a tranny code that was not related to the converter. So actually in my case, 11 converters later, not one code...hmmmm.

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... Just a question, is it the '01/'02 cars that have been having problems with throwing codes or have some of the older cars been doing it too. My '98 never threw a code with the Yank 2800 I ran for 2 1/2 years.

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... I throw codes since the day I put it in. I have a Yank TP 4500.
A day doesnt go by that I throw a code at least once sometimes 2-3 times a day. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0"> <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">
In my 2000 Z28, I never had a code with the Vig 2800.
This converter kicks *** at the track tho.

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... Argh, this sucks. So many other people running stalls and no codes. Like I said above, its no huge problem more like a nuisance. My car is a 01, so maybe it does have something to do with 01 and up models. Could it be related to the TM problems I hear so many other 01 owners talking about?

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... I had a ST3500 in a 98Z that never set a code, but always had slippage when locked up under light throttle. Seemed to be the worst around 2000 rpm. Tech 2 showed 300 rpm slippage. It's that grinding sound and feel that some complain about. It would do it in D or OD. I put 6000 miles on it and it did it from day 1 till I took it out. It is out of the car now and on it's way back to Yank to be checked out.

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... SY3500, 3.73 gears, drive around in OD or D, no codes, no troubles. Great setup for the street too! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

Re: I own a Yank TC and never thrown a code... No codes at all here. It does like to rev a little taking off around town. Sure does kick butt though. <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[Burnout]" />
