New here and I did some searches but wasn’t able to find what I’m looking for. So here’s be question.

I got 4K miles out of a fresh 4l60e with a FTI TC. Was cruising 70mph, came to a stop, and all gears became neutral. Cooled down a couple hours and was able to drive it onto a trailer. Pulled the pan and it’s full of metal. I do not have a trans temp gauge but am suspecting heat might have destroyed the TC?
Ok, that’s the back story…. Now I’m getting it all rebuilt but was told to go with a l6 trailblazer TC for cruising. Only problem is GM no longer sells them. I’m not going racing or have over 400hp so I’m not buying another 3000ish stall converter.

What is everyone running for about 2400-2500 stall since the Trailblazer TC is discontinued? I don’t want to buy junk and repeat this rebuild a third time, but not interested in dropping a grand on a TC for a street cruiser either.

5.3 LS w/ BTR truck norris cam, 4L60e, FTI brawler 2800 TC (flashes about 3100), 3.73 gears, 28” tire, guessing about 3500lbs
