Interested to hear your results with what you choose. I think you'll be impressed with the stall and cam. Good luck man!

I have a 01 burban bought off show room floor. Been doing tons of upgrades this year with it. 6" lift with 3" body. Built trans 4:10 gears built transfer case. I have long tubes with 3" exhaust dumped at axle. Running 102 intake and throttle body. Performance coils intake.has tuner.and a very big sound system in the rear. Truck is bedlinered and on 33x12.5x20s. Im fixing to do stage 2 cam and was wondering what would be the best converter for this build.

9" of lift to clear 33s?! Tell me you're a brodozer without telling me you're a brodozer

What parts did you use to build the t case? Just a rebuild?

Assuming 5.3/4L60 and 4.10/33" combo, any of the 2600-3000 converters would be fine

Guess I'm doing it wrong with 4" and 37's.

the most wrong. Absolutely wrongest

And to think, I didn't even replace components up front to clear my 33s. Just turned 2 little bolts lmao

Yes no **** I have 33s right now my burb had a 3" lift till a month ago and 3 months before I put new 33x12.5x20s so tires have very little wear. I just installed the 9" once my 33s are wore I'm swapping to 37s wtf does my tire size make a damn to anyone. I'm asking what would be a good torque converter set up. And no wasn't just a rebuild on the t-case it was the updated set up with the new end housing thanks to pump rub on old case.

I strongly suggest gears for those 37s. I don't care what cam and converter you throw at this thing; without gears on 37s it's gonna be a dooooog

Bgbldodge

Calm down. We are just busting your *****.

arthursc2 is right though, do the gears before the converter. You'll gain far more from those than a converter at this stage. Probably need to step up to 4.56 or 4.88. After those if you want a converter, talk to circle d and have them spec one for you. And even if you don't do the gears, talk to circle d and they can spec one for you.

Considering tires determine the FINAL torque coupling ratio, it makes a huge damn to everyone lmao

You wouldn't run 3.02s on 40s, would you? Well, you might. But a smart person wouldn't

Because of a silly thing called "leverage" the tire diameter has a HUGE influence on everything upstream of it. Tire diameter dictates the gear ratio you need in the axles. Weight, gear ratio, cam, displacement, power adders, tire diameter and expected low rpm performance dictate converter. The entire drivetrain is a system of components that rely on each other, you can't change 1 without sacrificing or improving the others

So yeah, size matters

I wouldn’t expect a 4l60 to last to terribly long with 37s especially under geared, so I’d look at a 4l80 before you do a converter. Then with the 4l80 first gear I would certainly want 4.88s with 37s maybe even 5.13s because 5.3 not 6.0.

One of the work trucks I drive is a 06 RCLB 6.0 4L80 with 4.10 gears, it’s less than spunky with 32” tires couldn’t imagine 37s.

I should add that idk dick about converters cause manual trans is best trans
