Default SunCoast Or TCI ?

I'm trying to decide which torque converter to go with. They both are priced closely together. I really do not know enough about them to decide or know which one is better and why. So witch would you get and why?

take your pick... both are top quality TC's. I think Suncoast has been making them for diesel longer.

I have not heard 1 bad thing about Georend convertors. Lifetime warranty. I was talking to the local doge shop and a customer had bought a used Dodge which already had the Georend convertor, The input shaft broke and messed up the trans/ convertor and Georend without any paper work took care of the convertor. No charge
I'm thinking of going with them in the near future.

TCI has been doing gasser stuff for a while now. They now started on the diesel end of things. They are very top quality

I don't thing you could make a bad choice with any of them. They all seem to hold up well....

Well, I'm leaning know to the Sun coast, The main reason is because they are the closest to me. I could go to them for the install.

Thanks for the input. I hope to get this done in a few weeks or so. I wont to sell my 5 th wheel in the pic and get a toy hauler. It is about 2-3K heavier. I sure will fell allot better with the new torque converter.
