I went from stock to a tune without TM so I really don't know if the TM made any difference or not. I still have the stock converter in my truck and I would imagine that the 3000 stall you have might beat on the tranny a little more then mine. If your worried about tearing up your tranny and it makes you feel better then leave some in it. I think everybody on here is going to have a different opinion on this subject.

if your plans are not to replace the trans anytime soon the remove 70% tm. If ya wanna replace transmissions like changing your underwear (usually 1 a day) then remove it all and have fun. As far as power to the wheels.......yea prolly about a 2 hp difference during the shift, nothing that would make your truck pop wheelies though. I personally don't like replacing trannies so i would opt to take out 70% and ride like that.
Hope that helps

Yes that helps, maybe I'll do like 70-80%. My 4L60E is slightly built and I'm not pushing a lot of HP right now so I should be fine. I've been reading that the TM is what causes that delay when you mash the gas. That delay is what I want to get rid of.

my stock 60E had ~120k miles on it and it tried to slilp in 2nd gear so i put superior super servos in it and i had saved up enough money to get a built trans so i took all the TM out and tried to kill it. at 145k miles it was still kicking strong. 5.3 was stock but i wasnt easy on the poor thing.
i havent had TM in any of my transmissions since then. which was about 12? haha ive lost count.
after driving my truck with a FLT Lvl 4 4L80E, its annoying to drive something stock with TM, just get use to the shifts being nice and crisp.
Ill be tuning my Work van today, TM sucks in it bad.

Good deal, that's exactly what I'll do; 80% normal 100% in tow/haul mode. Yeah that sounds like the smart thing to do. I didn't know it could be done like that.

You've indicated you are going to get a Nelson tuned pcm. Just talk to Allen about your plans; he can recommend what to do based on your plans. You'll want to talk to him about how you want your shifts, shift points, etc. Personally, I've got all of the TM removed from my truck and yes, it makes a difference.
I've got a TT2600 and somewhat built the tranny - HD2 shift kit with FLT mods, hardened separator plate, billet servos, aluminum accumulators, Beast sunshell, wide 3-4 band, and premium Alto frictions.
