Default tci , or yank?

ok guys when tax money comes in im gona do a stall. my question is is the TCI a good stall? or will it brake easily? whats the advantage of running a Yank rather than a TCI? the Yank is about twice the price so is it really worth it?

TCI doesn't seem to hold up too well in a 4500 pound truck. Yank or PI are the two best companies.

I have seen TCI converters break most on here
Fuddle is a ******** and his converters aren't the greatest

I have seen the fewest number of Yanks break on here, but PI is also an exceptional company.

Ive tried to go the cheap route... Dont do it man!!! It cost me a big headache and a fortune..

I finally got a Yank TT3000 and loved it!! Plenty tight for daily driving, strong enough for towing and really fun for the turbo

My vote goes to the Yank!

Look @ about 800 for a new yank 3200.. Not hard, just time consuming... The converter is easy, push it into the bell housing, feel it lock into the pump, my have to play wit it to get it to lock in. The fun part is getting the bell housing bolts in and out. Once you get them in then bolt the verter to the plate, bolts
