True Stall?

[turbotyphoon69]

I dont drive my truck much but pulled it out in efforts to get it ready for Truck fest, but this new tranny just won't build boost. The TC place i bought the tc from said it was a 3000stall but the just sit at 2600rpm and only makes about 4lbs of bost if im lucky. So my question is, does a 3000 stall tc actually come up as 300rpm on the Tach at the line? and Can low fluid have something to do with this, because i have a small leak some where on the passenger side so i cant fill the tranny up all the way, though i am not really concerned about the low fluid in terms of heat because the deep pan is pretty much full.

I just dont want to take the damn thing apart, put in a new tc and thats not the problem.

Re: True Stall?

nope your tc is stalled too low. you gotta pull it and spend a few days to have it restalled and reinstall it.

Re: True Stall?

I suspect with some very fine tuning and maybe a 2step you could work around the lower stall but If I was my truck (I had this problem for a long long time) I would go ahead and pull it and give yourself a few hundred more rpm's and make it a little easier on yourself.

Yeah well i just put this Tc in and its brand new so the TC shop is going to give me the right one......I hope.

one thing to consider...if you are running the stock turbo and WG, those WG's can get sticky (old) and stick open a bit...this happened to me and I could enver build more than 4psi simpley because to much exhaust was bleeding out.

I builds boost just fine when I am on it in other gears, and i have an aftermarket WG on there with the 20g
