Have any of you heard about the tc's on the 99's having a problem? My truck rattles really loud at an idle, it does quiet down when I am driving. I want to fix this it drives me nuts, But I want to make sure I fix the right thing. Is there a performance difference with different torque converters?
Thanks for your help.

This was a common problem for the '99. The noise goes away when the TC locks up. Yes, there are differences in TCs. You don't want to be putting a high performance unit in front of a stock transmission. The transmission will not take the increased torque multiplication.
The newer Ford replacement torque converter for the 4R100 is a good value choice. It is triple disk with torrington bearings. Much better than the original units. In the $400 range from www.powerstrokeshop.com .
