Stall converter

[70short]

OK I purchased A hughs 10" 3000 stall converter from A guy I know for $150.00. I put It in yesterday and took it for A spin. I installed A TH400 in place of my old granny 4-speed. 308 gears and no kickdown switch yet.

cons:
1) It feels like A slipping clutch when starting out: However it isnt like it waits until the truck gets to 3000 rpm before it starts to move.
2) It softened my shift kit that I installed. I will have to go back into the trans and drill bigger holes to get my harder shift back. (transgo shift kit).
3) I seem to be always cruising around 2000 RPM. Gas milage will suffer.


pros:
1) OH my god Hold on to your pants because this thing really wakes up when you mash the gas. FUN FACTOR is here for sure.
2) When I put the truck into drive it doesnt slam into gear.
3)When I mash the gas from A dead stand still it melts my 295 50 15. I wish I had A limited slip.
4) When stopped at an intersection I dont have to mash hard on the brakes to hold the truck from inching foward. 4 wheel drums manual version.

Bottom line it is very fun!!!

OH one more thing I am glad I installed A 1 piece driveline
