Yank & Transgo

I'm trying to research the right Yank and Transgo options, I hope someone here has some experience with them...

 

1) Yank - I'm thinking the Truck Thruster 3000 is the one I want, maybe the 2600.  Is anyone aware of negatives of raising the stall on a torque converter?  Is there any reason I wouldn't want the 3000 over the 2600?  It is represented as having the same towing capacity and delivers more performance.

 

2) Transgo - I understand there are different levels of performance you can select during install of the kit.  I want to find that balance of performance vs. comfort (leaning toward the performance), any suggestions on the level to select?

 

Also, the Transgo rep said that it can / will cause feedback to the computer and he recommended reprogramming by Turbo Shop, anybody aware of this problem?  This might scare me away from the Transgo...?  Is anyone aware of a competitive product to the Transgo kit?

 

I'm currently using HPIII and am very happy with the performance and also because of the degree of control I maintain, I plan on bumping up tire size and possibly diffs...

 

Thx,

MB-)

I have the Transgo [performance] and love it, shifts like a truck should, no swishing between gears.

 

I wouldn't go above the Yank 2600HD if you plan to tow.

 

Don't know whether you have a 1500 or 2500, could give you better info based on that. :thumbs:

A higher stall converter will cause the trans to run at a higher temperature than normal which could possibly lead to failure down the road (especially if running a higher line pressure) if not taken into consideration.

 

If you are referring to "The Turbo Shop" that is run by Steve Cole, he does an awesome job.  I have his PCM programming on my Camaro.  Problem is, is he's a little slow in getting things to you.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
