My truck has enough rattles. I don't need to add anymore.

I did do some reading about someone modifying a 6.0 TC to mate to a 7.3. Not too difficult if you know how to machine parts on a lathe.

I actually have one from an Expedition with a 4R100.

Well, I do have a 6.0 converter but it is spoken for. I do have 2 unknown GM converters too.

Is this the one that rattles? How many studs on it? 4 or 6? I don't think the gasser and diesel TCs are interchangeable (same with bell housings).

The 4R100 converter is filled with front pump shrapnel.
