I just Installed my TC last night. Got it from Red star performance. its a 2500-3000 stall, more like 3000. So far its awesome, we'll see how it holds up in the long run. But for only 250.00 its a pretty damn good deal.

Just an update...I talk to John (Fuddle) and he said he thinks it's the Pulse Width Modulation causing the chattering. He asked if it was ever tuned out, and honestly, I can't remember, but I don't think it was. When I initially had the truck tuned, I had the stock converter. The second tune I got was because I got the cam - still had the stock converter at that point too. The only other tune was sent via mail to compensate for the A/F ratio being off. So I'm really hoping the problem is just the PWM.
I still have no complaints about John, his product, or his service. He was extremely helpful, and gave me my options to rectify the problem (try a tranny additive to increase viscosity,have the PWN tuned out if it isn't already, and the more expensive route - install a shift kit). He did say to check the front of the converter for burn marks in the paint which would be indicative of burnt clutch material. He said if it was burnt, then he would definitely honor the warranty.
So, hopefully the problem isn't as severe as I thought.

I got my converter in the mail today from John. He does supply great service, and always answers questions very well. I had been recommended to go to him before and decided it was worth any risk that some people may say there is. I know he sticks to his warranty, so im not too worried. Keep us updated on if you get the problem fixed/discovered. Interested in hearing the result.
