    Torque Converter Stall Speed?

    So for those of you who don't know, here is my setup:
    -2003 Silverado 1500 (originally with 4.8 V8)
    -6.0 LQ4 Swap
    -STOCK 4l60e
    -4.56 Gears, 35" Tires
    -CST Long Travel
    -Eaton Locker...

    So here is my question, I am about to order a built 4l60e for this thing, because after 150k + miles the stock tranny is toast. What stall speed should I be looking into for the torque converter? I do mainly city driving, with quite a bit of off-road mixed in.

    How will the truck feel to drive with a higher stall? What differences will I notice after driving?

    Thanks!

    3000-3400 is pretty standard. Get a hold of Chris @ Circle D and he'll set ya up. A tight 3200 I think would be perfect for what you want, but he's the pro.

    Stock Cam? What are you looking to get out of the higher stall? Are you going to tow? Budget?
    A Circle D stall has some inexpensive stalls(400ish) that are between 2600 and 3200.
    They also have some higher speed stalls that are competitively priced.
    Give them a call and they can help you pick out the best stall speed for you?

    I'd suggest a 2600-2800 for city driving and off road.
