Will a 3000 be too high? Might as well get it right before I drop mine in. The transmission came out of an S10, so should be close to a 2000 stall from the factory. Right now I'm running stock tires and wheels, but a 4" lift kit is in the future before I drop the motor in, with the winch and heavy motor will probably work out to be around 2.5-3" and I belive my present axle is around a 3.75.

mmm that's who I called " FTI performance" . right ? ..
they recommended , unless I went with a custom made TC to use 2000 . what I was told was that with the stock engine and trany combo the stall rate would be higher then 2000 stated . should stall around 2300.
from what I could tell last weekend she was locking up right around 22 to 2400 if my tach is working right .
she also by the way shifted very nice using your numbers
thank you very much for the write up and in put .

I believe I will just leave mine where its at then, I've been reading on the Mercedes forums the peak hp is at 4000-4500 rpm on these engines, and they run 80 mph all day with 3.08 gearing. Of course they have shorter tires, but a heavier vehicle. I do mostly mountain driving, so its going to be in lower gears most of the time anyhow. Very seldom get on the interstate, and it's not a daily driver.
