Sorry, could not resist.
I have been in talks with @Greg Ducato , not messing around this time... I have told him my driving style future upgrades I would like to do and we are coming up with a list of parts. It's sounding like the next upgrade after this and it's billet parts and we both agreed that isn't needed. At that point I'll take the truck off the road and do a 4L80E or something else.
6th trans parts on order.
Fixed that for you.
Congratulations on getting that moving and only spending 1 month thinking about what to do.
LmaoFixed that for you.

How is a 4l80 $2200 more? I’ve sold 10 or more with converter for like $4-500. Swap input in the transfercase $100, modify mount and driveshafts?
Haha your such a ass.Fixed that for you.

Wanted to do this one differently, it's getting a good list from sonnax.
Good torque converter company? Right now I have a transtar house brand.
Maybe talk to Shawn about who he is using, I thought there were several good places in the Phoenix metro area for converters. I know Hughes is there and with the proximity to racing I'm sure you'll find something that is somewhat local easy enough.
Edit, The Converter shop in Havasu was well regarded and made quality converters, I want to say that is where mine is from now.
And, I'm a lovable ass at least, or is that an acquired taste?

The converters we use are maximum offroad but are 800$ but I don’t see how you need anything more than stock?? It’s a stock lq4 isn’t it??
The stock 300mm style 4L60E uses a furnace brazed bowl and heavy duty damper assembly, it has a construction that resists ballooning and is far better than the early 298MM 4L60E ( non LS) in every respect. If it isn't full of metal his Transtar converter will be fine.
Ecm tune, input shaft and driveshafts. I would do a fresh 4l80e and wouldn't go used.
Remind me to get one of these off you later this year.
Things are coming in.
It's out.
The tranny is out and on the runway?
It wasn't very happy coming out and fell off the jack...
