Warranty applies to any potential manufacturing defect inside the torque converter. Warranty does not cover any outside influences on the torque converter, or OEM stators. Warranty does not include loss of time, use, towing, installation, freight, or per diem damages. To transfer the warranty, invoice must be provided to Goerend. Warranty only valid through Goerend. 17-250: Will stall approximately 500 RPM above stock. The 17-250 is a high-stall torque converter. It’s designed strictly for racing and sled pulling applications. The 17-250 is suitable for vehicles with large turbos and for situations where more engine RPM is required to get the turbo spooled. It helps maintain a higher RPM range for applications where turbo lag needs to be minimized. Use With: Complete racing or sled pulling vehicles with large turbos. 18SS: Will stall approximately 250 RPM above stock. The 18SS combines higher RPM stall characteristics and efficient coupling. This design enhances turbo spooling capabilities, making it particularly suitable for larger turbos that require higher RPM to reach efficiency. The 18SS works well for trucks occasionally used for racing or spirited driving while maintaining good street manners. Use With: Street vehicles occasionally used for racing or spirited driving. 17SS: The 17SS is a complete stock stall option. It’s an ideal stall for daily driving applications and is capable of handling light to medium towing and hauling duties, along with medium turbos. The 17SS is a practical upgrade for trucks without compromising any drive-ability. Use With: Stock applications and daily drivers. 15LC: Will stall approximately 150 RPM lower than stock, and couples very efficiently as the converter’s speed ratio increases. The 15LC will increase coupling efficiency while running in a lower engine RPM range than a stock stall. Use With: Daily driving trucks that may also moderately tow or haul. The 15LC can be used for lightly tuned trucks with larger single turbos also. 15SS: will stall approximately 300 RPM lower than stock. It has similar performance characteristics to a DA but will run at a lower engine RPM. This is a tighter feeling stall and will also couple at a lower RPM than stock stall. The 15SS maximizes low RPM pulling power, and an efficient stall like the 15SS will also help keep transmission temperatures lower. Use With: Trucks that tow, haul, and work hard. The 15SS is best used with stock turbos and lightly tuned work trucks.
