Truck Bucks after 6.0 swap

We'll you can change that converter out in a day if need be by yourself... unless it's 4x4 then you better get some help

Any recomendations for the toque converter. I know just getting to the bolts on the bellhousing was horrible. I eventually had to take the intake off to get to the ones on the top.

once you lower the transmission (cross member out ) you should be able to get to them with 2 long extentions and a swivel electrical tape on the swivel will help if it's really loose. If the truck is up high enough you can kinda sit behind it and see them have some one help you guide tools if needed. Torque Converter is kinda up to you, you don't want to much of a stall may effect normal driveability. I'd probably go with like a 2000 stall from monster transmission about $350 $450 with a 3 year warranty. Yank has a good line up, but I believe the lowest they have is a 2600. All depends on how you drive cam rear gear etc. It can be a tricky process choosing the right converter to fit your needs. There is probably a few people on here that can help you choose better than myself. This truck is my first automatic.. Call a TC dealer and let them know what your working with and they can probably point you in the right direction. I have the Monster 1650 and I like it, but when I pull the motor to go 6.0 I'm going to the 2000.

For what you are doing, I would go with the Yank truck thruster. It is a quality item and will work for your set up.

Its not the converter its your tune, i had to spend a while on my tune before i got it to idle how i wanted it to. And i have a 1500 stall tci converter. Its just a tricky cam to idle.

that is the hard part of the mail order tune. When we called Nelson they sorta thought it was the torque converter as well.
