Default Need some opinions for a torque converter...

I have an 02 rcsb Z71 with a TR220 and I currently have a Circle D 3000. My truck does not run close to the way it should. I am losing power some where, and the torque converter is the only thing I think it could be. I would like to get another 3000, and I was thinking maybe a Yank or PI. Let me know what you think, or if you have any other ideas? Thanks.

Yanks are "tight" and very efficient. What do you mean losing power?

Truck runs two seconds slower than it should. Hes on a worked TB stall. After logging Justin@BB seems to think he losing it in the converter.

I'd give Chris at CircleD a call and tell him what's going on, I'm sure that he'll have some good advice or possibly a solution...

Justin said he felt like the motor was pulling hard, but the power is not getting to the ground. I don't know what else it could be.

I thought about giving them a call, but I did not buy the converter directly from them. I will give it a try and see what they say. Thanks.
