friend hooked on banks tc ?

[epowers777]

My buddy says that the banks trans command is recommended for that tc. He is going to stick with that because its tested unless you can explain to him why a gryphon is better. He says he already has a programmer that programmed his pcm to a tow safe mode.
If you can prove to him why its better he will get that.

If he already has a programmer that is "tow safe" then why would he need the TransCommand?

What does the TransCommand have to do with the TC?

IIRC the only thing that box does is jack with shift pressures. Otherwise it does nothing with shift timing/ strategy, torque reduction, TCC PWM, etc, etc, etc........... which have a great effect on transmission health.

I am not out to convince anyone not to use something I have no experience with, but if he is serious about towing, the money will be much better spent on a chip/ tuner that is designed and programmed specifically for that.

Just my 2 cents.

I think the best bang for your buck torque converter is a Precision of New Hampton converter, the one I like for powerstrokes is the max low stall, billet, multi disk converter, witch has a 700 rpm lower stall speed then stock. I paid $485 plus shipping and core for the last few converters I bought from them.

Their web site is Torque Converters - Precision of New Hampton check out there heavy duty/RV products, you can also get a good education on torque converter by browsing their web site

what ever you do go with the lowest stall speed you can get, it makes a huge difference for a diesel

As for Banks they have a 4 page spread in every truck magazine, someone has to pay for it.
