Has this been tested in a mule yet?
How much is lost on slippage in these?
depends on which tq,,,some can be as low as 5%--they can be made to about 2%---by a good tq place---A lot. Other than lack of fourth, the C6s greatest weakness.

Might be uncomfortable for the mule.
Oh, the E4OD converter is a very loose thing, at least mine is - if I'm on level ground maintaining a steady speed I usually get 200 rpms difference between locked and unlocked, which is pretty negligible, but the moment the driveline starts loading up (such as pulling up a hill) the rpm difference starts increasing, I've seen as high as 600 rpms difference in 3rd gear. No C6 that I ever had the opportunity to drive was so loose...When my E4OD unlocks, the truck actually looses speed for the same light throttle setting on the highway. For moderate hill climbing, I have to really lean into the throttle to get that extra pull if the converter unlocks. Although I'm not sure if the E4OD converter is as efficient as the C6 since its designed to stay locked most of its life and not rely on the fluid coupling. It could be an apples to orange comparison.

has it been tested at all yet? any results or is it still just talk? sound great to me
Our launch date for the C-6 and THM 350-400 Eco-Matic converters is June the 1st 2011. We are in the process of getting lids made and doing some more testing before we go to market with them. Everything is looking great with the test me have run so far!
