LB7: Ally Build

[1978steven]

Guys I'm looking to gather all the needed info I can for my 2002 CCSB 4X4, mods in sig. Only change from mods below would possibly be a ported and polished batmo stock turbo, but that's about all. Truck will be used as my daily driver and occasional rv and flatbed puller. Tunes are currently 5-Heavy Tow, 4-Light Tow, 3-90 Horse, 2-150 Horse, and 1-200+ Max Effort. Looking at the GMax5 with a ML-G converter and having it checked for pump rub and repaired if needed. Looking for good reputable shops in the DFW Texas area, but I'm not opposed to a trip to have it done correctly the first time. What are your thoughts, build inputs, or suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

Called up Inglewood Transmission today and spoke with Mike L about the build. This Summer may be a good time for a "Family Trip" to Disney World! Mike recommended the 1058 and ML-G converter and said both are very good converters and I would be happy with either one in my application. Are there any recommendations/opinions good or bad on either of these two converters?

I love my ML-G converter. I haven't pulled any weight yet with the dually but so far I like how it moves me along. :woott:

How are the daily driving street manors with the ML-G vs stock?

Better than stock. It multiplies plenty of tq from a standstill and couples fast.

Sounds good Mike. I should have written all my questions down before we spoke so I could ask, but I also didn't want to waste your time since I'm still learning this animal.

What Mike said :thumb:

I tried to brake stand mine when I put my back pressure gauge on to see if the needle would move and I could barley keep the pickup there, that converter wanted to move the pickup. I've very happy with it and am much appreciative of the help Mike gave me :hug:
