I found a brandnew 3600 TT yank for 450 dollars, on a website, is 3600 too much for a 5.3 4l60e, 4.10's

Go ahead and do it, you will love it. You need a larger stall to get the engine in its power range to haul your fat *** around.

I have the SS3800. It's a little loose for a daily driver. I tow a small tent trailer, with a 4 wheeler and motorcycle in the back, and it kinda sucks. I monitored TCC slip and it doesn't slip, but it's not really fun to tow.

On the other hand, for racing, it is awesome!!

If you're planning on the STS in the future, I wouldn't go higher than a 3200 stall.

It takes about 2500-3000 rpm to take off from a light at a normal traffic pace. The stock stall takes 1200-1500 rpm to do the same. A TT3000 takes 2000-2500.

You have got to be kinding!! It will murder mileage around town BIG TIME, give poor performance at part throttle and not play well at all in a big truck with only 4.10 gears to. With that kind of stall you need deeper gearing in a heavy vehical to play well. One more thing, if your engine does not pull strong from about 4000 to 6500 RPM or so that high of a stall is bigger waste yet.
