Boss Hog Converters are JUNK!!!

Do Not buy any of the Boss Hog converters. They are junk.

Here is my experience with them: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tran...converter.html

Basically this is the same thing that another member on here had happen. Here is his thread: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tran...rter-what.html


And this is the same brand of converter, except mine was the more expensive 10" unit. Basically they will not stand behind their product at all. Do NOT deal with ACC Performance. Boss Hog converters are junk. I even had to send this one back once before when it was brand new because it wouldnt go on the transmission.

Here is the thread on that issue: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/tran...lease-1-a.html

The company that checked my converter has had several of the ACC Performance Boss Hogs come through their door. They said they are cheap, not well built, and are prone to failure. Also their so called warranty is bogus. They will not back up their products once used!

You get what you pay for!

Re: Boss Hog Converters are JUNK!!!

Transmissions are simply too costly to risk running an inferior converter with. Spend the money on a Vigilante or a Yank and save way more on future hassles and rebuilt costs.

Pictures of cheap vs good converters.
