What does it mean when your torque converter is balloning?

Converter ballooning is when the conv actually expands in size ( usually .040+). This is usually attributed to extreme high pressure in the converter due to the pressure regulator valve not moving off its seat or stuck. Thin wall converters such as Ford converters balloon because of lack of proper thickness in the walls. High rpm can also cause ballooning in a converter. When a converter does this it can drop a washer out of place internaly which never falls back into place when the converter retracts;carnage is a result.

Ballooning is when the converter gets so light that the truck floats in the air. Only TTS converters have an anti-ballooning circuit inside them.

But that is also why I sell anchors for your trucks. You attach them to the hitch to keep from floating away. Because some people will install my converters upside down and wreck the anti-balloon circuit board. This voids the warranty, but at least your won't lose your truck in a strong wind.

Why don't you do us all a favor and crawl back under the rock where you belong !!!!

You should just do us all a favor and go away, permanently as you contribute nothing but drama every where you go.

So Take a HIKE !!!!
