[QUOTE="JorgeS, post: 28656, member: 12094"] Marky, can you explain what a "looser converter" is? When I read the first place you used that term, I though you meant a higher stall-speed converter; then you said that he needs a converter with a higher stall-speed that is not loose - I'm confused!! I'm considering a BTR Truck Norris for my Yukon, and I recognize that cruising speed at 70 MPH will require me to spend more time in 3rd gear (70 MPH = 2000 RPM with the 3.42). It's my daily driver, and I rarely run at 70 on the interstate, so I will survive the loss below 2500. BTW... 33" tires with a 3.73 is the same as stock tires (assuming 265/70R16) with ~3.43 rear end. [/QUOTE]
