I have a 2015 Yukon Denali with the 6l80 and think I’m going to have to replace the torque converter. Any recommendations on what the best would be for frequent towing?

How heavy of a load will you be typically towing?I have a 2015 Yukon Denali with the 6l80 and think I’m going to have to replace the torque converter. Any recommendations on what the best would be for frequent towing?
I believe the CTS-V converters stall at 2400 or so but could be wrong...If they are that high, wouldn't be ideal for towing as too much heat would build up and the lower stall gets heavier vehicles moving more efficiently.If you're thinking of an OE-type solution, there was a version of the 6L90E that GM had the guts to couple with the detuned LGH version of the DuraMax.
I suspect that torque converter, or one meant to withstand a supercharged CTS-V, for example, would be slightly superior to the one in a 6L80E attached to a lesser engine.
There are likely superior aftermarket solutions; at which point the cost-to-benefit ratio is the issue.
With a supercharged 6.2L in a 4000lb car, when you wiggle your ityybitty toe, the car moves a wee lil bit.... I believe the CTS-V converters stall at 2400RpM or so but could be wrong.

Regular JMBX. Stall is 1600-1800, I believe.With a supercharged 6.2L in a 4000lb car, when you wiggle your ityybitty toe, the car moves a wee lil bit.
In a 'hoe / 'bubba hauling a family & towing 9000lb of stuff, yeah, that same converter might stall @ 2400RpM, which'd be ridiculous.
So which torque converter is used by the LGH / 6L90E vans?
