And the 727s and A518s will not require a disc in the torque converter because they are not lock up. These torque converters are a lot cheaper than one for a lock up trans. If you set up the truck right as far as gearing, you can still acieve great mileage. Dodge used 3:07's with most of the 727s. If your truck has a chevy D70HD, I'd try to find 3:73's, but 3:55s or higher would be better for you.

thanks,i think ill look for a 518 or maybe a nv4500 or maybe a getrag 360 but A auto seems nicer loll and yea i have a d70hd with 4:10s
itll get converted to a 4x4 one day what gears would i need then? milages is eh to me
