TCI SF3000... This thing is awesome.. I was torn between a 2600 and 3000 and i think i would have been dissapointed if i went with anything less than a 3000.. It is so much fun to drive my truck now.. havent tried to tow with it yet.. as i dont tow anything.. so.. couldnt give you any info there. I paid 458.58 for mine shipped from Thunder Racing and got a local mechanic to install it for 250..

250? Damn I should really look into opening my own mechanic shop. I'm running a Yank 3000, which cost about 700 I think. It's been a while. Well worth the money in my opinion, and not too hard to install.

TCI3000 here too, and I love it! I paid $428 from Texas Speed. Both Texas Speed and Thunder Racing have been very good to me so far on customer service and prices, so I'd look heavily at both of them if you decide to go with that converter. (Yet another sponsor plug. )
