Torque Converter

I have a stock trans and converter as of now and they have 147K miles. They are performing fairly decent right now. My question is if I were to install say a SUNCOAST converter would that help me out towing and putting more power to the ground? Would my clutches last? Basically is it worth doing?

Secondly, if I were to put in a new converter and my transmission failed and I got it rebuilt could I put that converter back in or would I have to get a new one again?

River City Diesel converter is the way to go. A lot of guys have had good success with just going with an upgraded converter. It takes that weak link away and makes your weak link greater internally.

Thanks 08stroker250. Do you have any input on my second question?

I guess it just depends on what fails and if any debris goes through the converter.
