Watch the video of my truck launch and give me your advice. It seems to pull to the right but I'm a rookie and have no idea if this is normal or not.
It has ladder bars, coilovers, and 29.5x10.5 hoosier slicks. 3000 rpm launch off the Tbrake.
I posted the video on the other forum and now know I have converter issues. The new converter is here I just need to install it.
Thanks

Do you have the chassis squard in the vid it looks to be dog leging. What is the new conv.. it is hard to tell you on the suspension setting with you changeing the conv can have a big effect on how the truck leaves.

The converter I'm installing is a TCI street fighter 3500 stall.
I measured and checked the square on the chassis at least a dozen times while installing the rear. Also put a level on everything possible to make sure nothing moved. I think it's square or at least hope it is.

Check the frame and make it square use the front lower ball joints as start points and check both side and then a x so FDS to RDS, FPS to RPS, FDS to RPS, FPS to RDS if this all looks good take a tire PSI to see if the roll out is the same on the rear tire that will make a car dog leg too.

X2 what Jason said... When we did mine, I realized you can not measure enough... I ran the tape so much, that I was sick of looking at it... Laughing Laughing But ain't she fun though...?
