Damn that sucks. Just a more revised design with the same look from the outside or just shaped differently in spots?

Oh and what's that foam feeling textures gasket looking thing that surrounds my rear window trim?

nothing too radical since you'll be towing with it still. What's wrong with stock level stall? You're not racing it

What does raising or lowering the stall torque converter do for a vehicle?

changed the RPM level, or stall speed, the engine has to be at before the torque converter engages.

Geez. My phone doesn't update the forum for one day and 7 pages to read in "engine builders"? We need to be careful about those BS boys getting on here and cluttering up the place. From what I gather [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION]'s 3rd lights are too cold to lock up on 02-04 Lightnings, [MENTION=113]Jbrew[/MENTION]' s sad because [MENTION=52877]4x4dave[/MENTION]'s truck is getting more messages than him, [MENTION=76842]Carcrazygts2[/MENTION]'s rear end is getting sexually harassed, [MENTION=76903]fordmotorsport[/MENTION] is debating whether to buy a MG Midget or move to Florida, & [MENTION=99584]ibd2328[/MENTION]s not gonna need a torsion bar because his front tires will never touch the ground. Did I miss anything? ........besides [MENTION=146035]Jackedup00[/MENTION] & [MENTION=174898]Cmanjr[/MENTION] being, well, [MENTION=146035]Jackedup00[/MENTION] & [MENTION=174898]Cmanjr[/MENTION]?
