This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Great!! I run a 3200 stall converter in my daily driver truck and just flip the switch and enjoy 100% lockup!

    BTW, make sure you add your switch to the negative wire... The power needs to be all the time to the trans...

    I gotta say so far so good for Revmax! I got the other converter in a timely manner and they didn't even ask for the original one back first in order to minimize my downtime.

    The original 3600 converter actually wasn't too bad on the street and with lockup it would be fine for a daily driver, it was just too much for my application and was hurting my performance.

    The 2800rpm converter they sent is working out great, definitely a difference since I am getting to work through more of the gears and pull longer instead of having to shift through the gears like its an indy car when i run out of rpm.

    Lockup is very smooth and I can't believe the difference it makes not having to run around on the highway with an unlocked converter.

    If you guys are looking for a budget entry into the 9.5" converter market I would say look into revmax. I am not making any power so I can't testify to durability but so far customer service and streetability have left me satisfied with my investment:TU:

    I'm glad Revmax stood by their product and everything worked out.
    At what RPM does the replacement converter stall at?

    The replacement converter seems to stall right around 2700rpm flashing off the brakes. The only time you really notice you have a higher stall converter is right around 50mph without lockup and I usually turn on lockup above 40mph so it works out great for me:laugh:
