a stall is what people call torque converter... it will help track times.. and make the truck alot more fun to drive.. a Transmission does not have a top end... Top end is Engine lingo... has the truck been abused? have you raced it its whole life... have someone at a trans shop inspect the pan before they install the shift kit and use judgement ... Ask them to follow my lead... If you shift kit it now.. and something happens.. will they deduct anything for a total overhaul...
Okay, I'll stick around a little longer.Originally Posted by casey23
When I said top end I meant top of the line shift kit as opposed to a lesser kit. This was bought used three months ago. It's a Tahoe and I'm sure it was a family vehicle. I'm sure it's never been raced and I will never race it. It will be the family DD. The most abuse it will have is pulling the trailer when we go camping.
You just need to ask for a Trans go JR with PWM update.. HD2 is overkill for your needs... and its cheaper to have installed... and it will last longer
Thank you, that's what I needed to know. While everyone here is very helpful they are also very performance oriented and that's not me. I mean I'd like to be but I don't have the pocket book for it. I just want to do what I can to protect my investment. It won't be a formal shop that does the work. My mechanic is retired from a local GM dealer and does some work in his garage. He does good work, knows what he's doing, has treated me right in the past, I can trust him and I know he won't try to screw me. I think there's a lot be be said for that. But where your specialty is transmissions I value your thoughts on the matter.
Once again thank you. Like I said, everyone here has been a big help but since transmissions are what you do for a living I REALLY appreciate your time.
Later.
