Torque converter and new gears?

[14ram5.7]

I have a 2014 Express CC 5.7 6 speed with LSD and 3.92's. Also have catch can 180 tstat S&B intake v6 efan diablo trinity with hemifever stainless works LT headers and Stainless works true dual exhaust. Would it be worth it to go with 4.10's or 4.56's cause Ive heard the front on the 4x4's are a PITA? I have stock tires with 20's right now on a leveling kit. Want to get 33's or possibly 35's soon. I don't race by any means and tow a trailer during mowing season a few times a week. As far as a torque converter I really don't know much of anything about them or stall rates?

IMHO----You have almost come to the point that I think you're going to have to make a decision on what type truck you really want. With all your current mod's and now checking on gears and a higher stall TQ you're getting closer to a really quick street truck and/or a quick weekend racer. The more mod's you get I believe the less it's going to be the utility type of truck you want ie; towing in the summer etc. You might be better served, if at all possible, to get a beater you can tow your mowing stuff with and leave your Ram for FUN!!! To your original question--the 4.10's or the 4.56 will make you truck accelerate a lot faster, on top of that a 2800 or 3000 stall TQ will really give it some snap off the line and throughout the power band.

if you decide to go up in gears let me know ill buy the stock ones!!!!!

I think your probably right. The mowing/landscaping I do on the side after work is too good of a money maker to give up and a different vehicle is out of the question. Maybe once its paid off ill dig into it more with gears, torque converter, cam, etc

I don't think you need anything bud, you got a very nice mod list. Only thing I would consider would be a higher stall torque converter, especially if you get bigger tires. But that's all I would even consider with your mods.

I see edge performance makes 2 torque converters for my 6 speed a 2400-2600 and a 2800-3000 stall. Which would be the better option? I read somewhere that if you do any towing to not go over a 2600 stall is that true?

 

[Pull Ya]

I think you can tow some with a 2600-2800 stall but probably not with the 3000-3400 stall. I just don't know how much you can tow, how often or how heavy. Those questions should be answered by Matt at Moe's. I know that if you install the 2600-2800 TQ you will feel quite a difference, especially with the mods you already have.

Edge offers the 11" converter we have on the site, and it will be custom built to whatever stall speed you want. The higher the stall speed, the harder it will come off the line. The drawback to this is that as your stall speed increases, your ability to tow heavy or use the truck offroad go down.

How heavy is the trailer you plan to pull? If it is under 5000lbs, then you should be perfectly fine with a 2800. If you will be pulling over 5000lbs, then you would be better off with a 2400-2600 stall converter. Even a 2400 stall will be a nice improvement over stock, but the higher the stall speed, the faster it will be at the track.

We don't ever deliberately ignore emails, so if you have been trying for a few months, they must not be getting through to us. Do me a favor and send it to me in a PM here with your email address in there. I will add you to our contact list in case your mail is somehow going to our spam folder. We get so many spam emails, that its tough to look through each 1 to see if it is a legitimate email or not. I'm assuming that is what is happening here. Thank you, and I apologize for the hassle.

Is it pretty flat ground where you pull, or are you pulling up large hills or mountains? You are at that border of getting away with a 2800, but if you are having to pull that trailer up a grade, you are going to want to stay closer to 2600.

 

[14ram5.7]

There is always the possibilities of some hills but not all the time...maybe I should stick with 2600?

If your towing stick with the 2600 or stay stock. Last thing you want is a headache.
