I got my tow mirrors today and my 2200 stall viper series converter!! The mirrors actually turned out to be a PITA to install for some reason. The front bottom studs were kind of bent so I had to straighten them out a little and then there was barely enough stud sticking through to screw the nut on but after messing with them for a few minutes I managed to get them on.

 

Good lookin truck. I'm dyin to know how that converter works out. How much was it?

 

Cool, wish my 99 had tow mirrors. Thats funny, my Viper 3800 stall just arrived yesterday. Getting rid of my 2800 stall (2500 w/stock cam)

 

can someone please explain to me what a higher stall converter is.. and why itsbetter? ..also what the benefits are and mpg impact.. and whats the use? and pleease use lammens terms,,, remember im a dumbass

 

hahaha....... greatest line ever

 

Honestly I am not even for sure. What the stall is, is when the motor and tranny are turning the same speed if I am eplaining that right. What I did was I called up wayne at APS precision told him about my truck what I do with it and what all is done with it and he said go with a 2200.

 

your not saposed to agree[:'(]

 

I am with shott here, I would like an in depth explanation as to what the stall converter does and what type of performance to expect.

 

Also another thing that I found out is that with a higher stall converter the tranny get hot quicked and can overheat easier. Also Wayne told me that with the 2200 I will get more performance out of the tranny.

 

read this, it should explain it all to you...
