found one for sale on pt.net. Its used with 3k on the stall. Wants 400 shipped for it. Anyone think I should do it?
here is what the trucks going to have that will accommodate the stall.
-stock internals
-sts gt67
-flt lvl5
-nelson sd tuned
-3.42 gears, stock
-eaton lsd.
Ask Allen if he thinks it will work with that combination. he's very familiar with the STS and will know if thats a good setup.
well I put up a post earlier about this and everyone was like do the 3k stall. but allen just threw a 2600 on altons truck. I know altons is a front mount, but it just got me thinking.
ducky i can tell ya buddy i wouldnt buy a used converter.its so hard too tell if theyre going to be any good save a few more pennies,and get a new one .even if it came out of a so called good tranny ya just dont know,and god forbrid it came out of a blown or just idk what happened to my tranny but i know the torque is good.ya know what im saying.be careful.honestly just bcause my experience with trannies i would never buy a used converter without actually knowing what happened to it in its other life.maybe a buddy or something but thats it.my 2 cents

I mean I was already skeptical about buying a used verter anyway, but I geuss I should just bite the bullet and get a new one anyway. Im just still weary as to what size I need to run. Im gonna eventually go with the same 220 cam that you and foggy are running, but that wont be till probably later on anyway
It's kinda like buying used gears, you might be able to get away with it but it's not a good idea. Since you're going to buy new, I would definitely talk to Allen or FLT on what stall would work the best.
Does your STS come with a FMIC? You going to get meth?
You're going to love it!!! :burnrub:
is the guy reputable? i sold my yank3000 almost a year ago to a member here, (foregot who it was lol) but appearantly its working fine for him.. but didnt have but a few hundred miles on it. theres nothing wrong with buying a used stall hell i bought txsilverado's and he bought it from someone else if i am not mistaken, but bottom line i trusted txsilv thats why i bought it, it helps to know the seller or at lease know something about them ... good luck on whatever you decide also i woulsnt see a problem with this size stall with your set up ...
yeah its getting the front mount IC and meth at the same time. So cooling will not be a factor at all :beerchug:Quote:

I got my Yank from a yank on this board...lol it was used and has been perfect more than 5k miles on it and no problems
dayum, you got over 5k on that thing already? :eek:
Dale is a Bully !... He wants to own the Roads is Azle... I think he drives around showing off his manhood.. I mean his fast truck
dont know him then go new, plus with a level 5 tranny i wouldnt take the chance specially if i didnt know him or know anything about the tc...Quote:

David, buying a used TC is a touchy subject. I would not buy a used one unless I knew the guy and his truck personally. There are too many questions to ask and too many "what if's." Yeah, and Zeake is right--why put an unknown TC with a newly built FLT?????
My uncle used to have a small engine shop. I used to ride with him in his 65 stepside Chevy with a 400 small block and small cam when he made deliveries. That truck even with a 1 tire fire was so damn amazing to me. I get my love of guns and hot rods from him. Sorry to jack your thread just remembering my younger years.Quote:

Ducky man 562$ shipped to your door brand new, 150$ more than a used one to have the peace of mind of new parts and a warranty i was in your same position about 2 weeks ago could of got a used one for a little cheaper but was leary about it but this trucks my daily driver so i cant have it breakin down all the time.
