this is true, ask me how i know
It didnt come out of a parts truck you homo it came out of pigpen which was a running driving truck till I blew the motor. New TC's cost like 2-300, would YOU spend that much? Didnt think so...*****.

i dont think i want a used TC... if it is the TC thats why im having this problem in the first place.
how do i know if i do have the right flex plate on there? is there a casting number on them or anything.
because this discussion of the flex plate came up months ago but i just told everyone that it was the one that should have came with the motor.
I'm pretty sure you have the right one, maybe the Brunes can tell you for sure?
if your sure that the TC you have is good do you have it up here?
and the right kind lock out or not.
thats why i was asking which one it was so im not a dumb ass and get the wrong kind of TC
its a TH350

I haven't swapped around enough autos to know which one you need, but If I remember right, there's nothing really different except for two-piece or one piece rear main and on two piece rear main, it depends on the mountin pattern on the back of the crankshaft. Other than that, I think it's pretty fool proof. I do however strongly suggest you do not fire up the engine without a transmission behind it, but if you decide you absolutely have to, take the flexplate off. Remind me and I'll tell you how my old boss got a scar from his ankle to above his kneecap sometime.
well i guess i wont be doing that, i just dont know how to test it other wise... guess ill have to just buy another TC and hope thats whats wrong with it.
No its at my shop but I can bring it back when I go home for the break, or I could take it to your house in Port A if you you want. I'm prety sure neither th400 or th350s have lockup converters, like I said Mario told me they would interchange because he wanted a 6.2 TC for his truck because it has a lower stall.
hmm well i was planning on changing it out so i could go to port a for the break. it would blow ass if it went out on the way down there. and i really dont have the tools to **** with it down there. its not slipping or anything but you never know.
ill see what prices i can find, but i might go for that offer.
ok when ordering a torque converter would you want a stall rating of like 2000rpm or one higher like 2400 or 2600 rpms. it never gets over 3000 and cruises at like 2000. so im guessing 2000...
just wanna make sure.
