Default torque converter selection

im looking to rebuild my transmission and was wanting to get a new converter to help out towing my 24' enclosed trailer. the truck is a 99 sport 2wd with a 5.9 and 46re transmission. wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions or prior experiance with any converters for towing.

padodgeram, (who just sold his truck, BTW) put in a lower stall TC for his ram for towing. You might want to PM him before he turns his back on us with his new chevy.

don't you think that trailer's a little to big for that truck? what about a 12-1500 stall?

how often do you go through brakes? lol
