Torque Converter upgrade
So my 01 3/4 ton is pretty much all stock besides the lift and tires and muffler. Wanted to see if an upgraded torque converter would be a good option for sluggish acceleration, but would it make for any maintnence issues or any sort of downfall on an older truck? Also considering this is the factory transmission at 170,000 miles which they don't last forever especially having the automatic 4 speed and not the manual

What size tires are you running, and what gears do you have in the diffs?
For trans coolers, the bigger the better. However, there is such a thing as overcooling.... so, a thermostatic bypass would be a good idea as well.
As for converters, given that they are a lot of fun to change..... don't go cheap. Get a good name converter, from a manufacturer you can trust. If you spend less than 200 bucks on it, you are cheaping out. Don't do that.
