Stall?

Running a stock cam (4.8), and will not be changing. Due to the fact that I am running large tires and will be running some 4.88's soon, would a higher stall benefit me at all? If so, what would you recommend?

what size tires are you talking?


i had 42's on the last beast with 4.56's, with a moderate cam, had a 1200 stall, and it was fine on street, but deep mud, didn't want to get out of it's way sometimes.

put a 2500 stall in it when i rebuilt tranny, was a BEAST offroad, but kinda ruined street-ability.


I wouldn't go higher then 2800 no matter what, but how close to that really depends on tires. The bigger you go, the less of a "rear" you're running, and more you could use the stall. With tires smaller then 40's, i'd prolly stick with stock stall. If you don't you'll just be popp'n u-joints left and right.

i would never put a stall in my truck since it takes so many rpm's just to get going. i like staying under 2k the hole time im driving.

I know the gears are going to help (obviously), I just don't want to get bogged out in the mud. MPG's are of no concern.

35's for now, but these leaf sprung trucks are easy to lift quick! :lol:

look at a horsepower curve for the motor. It makes almost NOTHING below 2g. The stall puts in in power range, so it won't bog out nearly as much with those tires. Not going to help, but shouldnt hurt gas mileage at all.

Even a tbss verter might be useful, little looser then you're running now, but nothing crazy.

I was recommended a 2400-2600 stall for the same application.

It's the least performance oriented poorly chosen nick name for a really advantageous performance part known to the innerwebz.

Do you have a stall? Sure man, I gots lots of stall.
