yeah that's a good deal the converter is almost 700 new at summit. question do recall the rpm you used commonly in 2nd and 3rd gear, towing around town?

I do not specifically, but I did drum up this calculator that gives me an estimation of what RPMs to expect in each gear at different speeds. This is all math so it doesn’t account for hill climbs, towing etc. and it is specific to the gear ratios, tire size, and transfer case I’m using, so final results may vary.

But I can say, I was always satisfied with how the truck drove.

that's cool. I was wondering how much the converter would spend on the stall in the lower gears. 25 in 3rd is right on the stall. You and I have the same gears but different size tires. I roll around town in 3rd unlocked a lot. Am using 1600 stall converter.

I had my converter on a manual switch so I could control it, and I don’t think I ever locked it until I was on the highway.

is that a calculator you made or an internet one ?

It’s one that I made, using similar formulas to one I found off the internet.

Same here I used to lock it in 2nd and 3rd. I didn't like the way it bumped when up shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Also not sure how much torque the converter can handle in 2nd so I stopped using it. I'll lock 3rd if the trans is getting hot. but only on levelish ground.

So it has diesel governor and if going behind a gasser will likely need a governor swap?

That is quite likely.

It will work fine behind a big block but a small block will need a different governor and TC
