Post subject:  what stall speed??

alright her is what I have, 87 Dodge 150 2wd, with a 1970 super six 225 with a late 70's 904A non lock up tranny with a 9.25 posi rear with 390 gears. I am wondering what stall speed converter I should use. I work the hell out of this truck, 3000lbs on the back AND a 4500 car on the dolly, or a half of cord on the truck and 1.5 cord on the trailer. I have 2 options, 1..1700-2100 stall or 2..1900-2400

Please help'
Thanks,

PS I do run type F tranny fluid for a firmer shift engine is stock with 2 bbrl electronic ign with soft springs and an accel super coil with 8.8mm wires

I just asked Rodney about this. He recommended the lower stall with that kind of load.

No disrespect, but why the lower. I get this thing into some sticky situations with the trailer on in the woods, backing up,steep grades,mud, etc. Just wondering why one and not the other?

Thanks

I would want the higher stall just for that exact reason. More grunt when trying to get a load going. 2400 isn't a lot of stall.

Talk with a converter builder.

You're talking a difference of about 300 RPM over stock with the higher stall. Order it and don't look back. :D

Higher stall means more heat. If you use the higher stall converter with the loads you're pulling you will want a big cooler. Your highway cruise RPM should also be a couple hundred RPM above the stall speed otherwise the slipage and heat will be rather serious.

I think you'll be happy. In reality that is not much stall, but it will help. :D
