Question

Question please...

For those of you who have a different torque converter, what mpg are you getting after installing the new converter?

Is gas mileage a bunch worse?

Is the Trailblazer torque converter any good? What do you like or dislike about it?

Thanks!

i think most that install them arent worried about MPG.. cause you are grinning form ear to ear when you get it gas anyone that mods probably isnt worried about mpg that much.. if so, then keep it stock
