Default how does a stall effect everyday driving

How does a stall affect everyday driving? I am planning on installing yank 3000 stall on a 04' 5.3.

Current mods, shorty headers, corsa cat back, nelson tune (60 tm removed), volant air intake.

Before the Yank is installed I plan on installing 4.10 gears, a transgo shift kit and getting 80% tm removed.

I am just curious on how the stall will affect daily driving.

With a 3,000 stall, you may notice just a touch of difference for around town driving... but for the most part, light throttle every day driving will not be effected.

I would recommend a shift kit to improve the band holding ability like you're doing, and the 4:10 gears are what come stock in the Silverado SS, so you're going to like those too!

I just went from a 2000 stall and 3.42s to a 3000 stall and 4.10s. Stoplight to stoplight is different in that it takes more throttle to effect any movement from a stop, ie, "looseness". It takes only a short time to get used to this. At anything over 50% throttle, it really makes a B-I-G difference, as it puts the motor higher into the power curve as well as reducing shift extension. It honestly feels like I just got 50 more horsepower with the stall and gears.

Not to rob the thread but how does a stall work? i always thought that it meant the truck won't move until the rpms hit 2800, 3000, whatever stall you have. please excuse my ignorance but i don't speak transmission. sorry about the thread rob but this looked like a good place to ask!

it will move, but the torque is multiplied more at the rated stall..
I have a 3500, and the truck will move at 1/4 throttle, but very slowly..
full throttle, and it will jump out and embarass someone

Yank is known for the almost stock like feel, so you should be ok. Revelie, go to getonitracing.net and PM Vicred, or you can pm him on here. He has the Yank TT3000

I have the TT3000 and you will notice a slight difference from stock in the way it feels. You will notice it a little but until you stand on it a little it will not slip that much. If I put the truck in gear and let off the brake it will move at idle, but something looser like a Vig or Hughes maybe and you will have to add some throttle to get it to move. I rode in a truck that had a 2800 Vig and it wouldn't move unless it was at about 12-1600 rpms, but the Vigs have a better hit off the line then a Yank which equals to better 60ft times if you can hook up. Also in the past Yank customer service seemed to suck. I have not heard of too many problems w/ PI (Vig). Hope that helps...Zed

It's not a stall. A *converter* has a rated 'stall' speed.

A converter, if choosen right and not to drastic will make everyday driving more enjoyable than the stock verter. It will even tow betterif you have a good tranny cooler.
