LMAO!!! Yes. I just realized how I'm spelling them! :rofl: I'm losing it!
Yeah, I think Dayco builds rubber products like fan belts and hoses. :doh:
I have a question about this. If you change the stall, does it affect your pulling power very badly? I pull a 18.5' boat sometimes and don't want to sacrifice that. The way one of my so called "genius mechanic" friends described a stall converter is that the truck will just sit there and rev like its in neutral till it hits the specified RPM, then take off.....WTF??? I One of my buddy's had a 3200 or maybe bigger in his 82 scottsdale, but it had VERY high gears as it used to be a diesel..and it seemed like it wouldn't move until about 4grand.
If you do a lot of pulling I would stay below 2800 on the stall. If you go much higher the tranny will act up and can overheat without the proper cooling.
A 2800 RPM stall more or less means at 2800 RPM you have 100% of the engine power engaged to the transmission. At lower RPMs it is still going to pull the vehicle. Theoretically you can hold the brake and throttle down to get a lot higher RPM before the vehicle launches. Under full power my 3600 rpm stall doesn't drop below 3600 RPM between shifts. It keeps the engine RPM in the higher power range of the engine during hard acceleration. I would suggest you drive a vehicle with a stall convertor before buying one with a large numerical value, 3000rpm+.

I talked with Dayco and they recommended a part #7732 2800 - 3200 rpm or a #7731 2300 - 2500 rpm with 4.10 gears. These coverters run about $300.00 and they are rollers. The tech dept said the 2800 - 3200 would stall around 2900 with the gears I have. If you do a lot of towing go with the 2300 - 2500. They also said these converters were better built than most aftermarket ones.

I never really wanted a huge one, just one that might help out a little. Would a trailblazer unit be good for my application too??
Jaybo and bulldog5.3, Here is the Dacco number. 1-800-443-2226. Ask for the tech dept and they will guide you in the right direction for your application. Tell them the cam, gears and what you want to do with the vehicle. Good Luck!
Thanks nitrous i appreciate your help. Hopefully i can get one that stalls closer to 3000 or 3200.
