Without traction it's gonna be difficult to tell how high it flashes. Once the tires start to spin the engine is gonna rev till you shift or it hits the limiter.

Damn man,if it brake stalls at 4000 then that thing is not the correct converter!Maybe there was a mox up at Fuddle but that is WAY to high for your truck.Brake stalling at 4000RPM would be killer I know but that is WAY to high.That is hurting times bad.

white, IMO call up john at fuddle and tell him the deal and see if he can send you another converter and you have that installed and then once its done you can send him your converter back, seems like a realy big issue and they have pretty good service espeiciallyu if you cant let your truck be down weeks, that way you'd only be out a day and they jsut have to trust you, i have a fuddle 3200, i got the car stall due to tight funds with my extended cab and it only flashes to 3400 and brake stalls to 27--ish. pulls hard and holds fine so seems like you got stalled wrong. john should understand

IMO, I would have Fuddle get there act together and have a new converter sent to you.

seems like there isnt much act to get together being that this situation is the exception rather than the norm. but hopefully it will all get worked out.

With the issues Ive had, I would hope he would do that, I plan to call him Monday and see how he wants to correct this. If it wasnt for all the praised I have heard about Fuddle, I would just send it back and thell him.... Well nevermind, Im going to be as fair as I feel is needed, hopefully he will make things right.

John will make it right. He will send you another one to switch out with he wont make you send it in and then send oyu one. He worked with me on my restalls. My "3200" brake stalls to 3100 behind the 418 and flashes to 3900-4000 and makes a nice 4wd drift also but its fun Ill be getting it tightened up a bit when I pull the motor

Thanks Cody, Thats what I wanted to hear. Its fun as hell, but I made it clear that I needad a TIGHT converter for hunting season. it would be fun pulling up a muddy rutted up boat launch with the Buckshots would really suck how it is now .

I am the only one I know of that has run into the problems Ive had with Fuddle, and thats why Im giving him a shot to make it right, and believe it or not the people I personally know I respect what they say.

Im thinking of getting a 2.2 str also that should really tighten it up on the street/

John you were suposed to take me for a ride in yours to feel it. Oh well
