gear and TC swap
I want to have the rear end changed to a 3.42 in my 2000 C5 and would like to upgrade the Torque Converter at the same time. I live in the far western suburbs of Chicago, any recommendations?

Also, I am having the torque tube pulled and rebuilt with polyurithane couplers and new bearings. Best to do it all at once if you have any doubts about the drive train. I also opted for the C6 differential output shafts and gear to handle the launching.
All this makes the job much more expensive than you would like it to be. I just went through this all too. I postponed my appointment to buy these extra parts and have it done right.
Just think about it.
