I'm gonna vote for Yank on this one .. but that's ONLY assuming that you are picking an off the shelf converter.

If you ever plan on doing much, then I would go with someone else. Mike @ Yank is not very customer oriented.

You'll find fans of all three. I imagine Yank will win the polularity contest, but I doubt that any of those 3 are bad choices. I was going to try the TCI but I found a good deal on a slightly used Yank.

He brings up a good point. I wouldn't buy a new Yank, only a used one.

Bigguy's isn't a bad deal at all. If I remember right, he didn't have that thing in for very long at all and never had any trans problems with it.

What do mean bigguy's. BTW i was looking at the TCI verters online and I thought they were cheaper, I saw one for $710, that is as much as a yank. The reason why I was considering them was becuase I thought they were a little lower in price. Also you saying your would not buy a new one becuase you could find a better deal on something that good somewhere else.

Sorry about the questions its just if I can find something good and cheaper than why not go with that. Also I was considering the PI becuase of what others mentioned the service is good. I dont want to be hassled if something goes wrong, know whatta mean.
