My car is Ford F-250 SD 7,3L Diesel year 1999 model XLT and model of gearbox 4R100 4WD.

None of those will work in your transmission.

You need a stall speed of 1600-1900 RPM. You also need a six stud, not a four stud.

That's a general page. There is a link at the bottom that says Support where you can email your truck info so they can get you the right converter. Try that. There is also a phone number if you want to call.

Here is another option for you.
Roadrunner Converters - Phoenix, Arizona Converters - Street, Trip, Towing

4th one down on the left side. They call it a Towmaster. I know a few folks who have used this converter in their 7.3 with satisfactory results. If you are in the Phoenix area, then you can pick it up yourself and save on shipping.

Good luck.

Do you know a good PHX area shop that you would use to install a TC?

I recommend Trail Transmissions, ask for Jerry.
11240 E Apache Trl, Apache Junction, AZ 85120
(480) 986-7367

They built the trans in Alvin and recently built the transmission in my friends 7.3 Excursion. When they did my friend's Excursion, they replaced the up-pipe gaskets since it was the practical thing to do. No extra cost...my friend only had to provide the parts.

They send me this:
Vehicle: 99 Ford F250 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel 4r100 - Low Stall - 6 studs

Stock Cover - Triple Clutch torque converter price is $180 + $45 S&H.
Our Part # F60

Stock Cover - Triple Clutch - Heavy Duty torque converter price is $235 + $45 S&H.
Our Part # F60HD

Billet Cover - Triple Clutch - Extra Heavy Duty torque converter price is $335 + $45 S&H.
Our Part # F60BC

So for mine the best is this second one Heavy Duty ??
I understand that this heavy duty is stronger than this first one ?
Sorry for so many questions

The first one is the same strength converter your truck came with. The second one is stronger. The third one is the strongest. Any will work, the stronger ones will last longer. Low stall is what you need, and all of these are low stall.

You English is excellent! What is your native language?

Thanks Greg.

The fact they changed the uppie gaskets says something about their customer service and experience.

Sorry for not first of all saying "Wecome to FTE !!" It is nice to see someone from Poland here My grandpa always called me Little Dupa. It is the only Polish I remember.
Now is your truck a Early 1999? Check the date it was built in your drivers door jam. Because if it is a Early99 that would explains the torque converter going out. There were a real problems with the E99 torque converter design. And here is some more info on "4R100 Torque Converters"
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-problems.html
And like HD Rider said I hope it didn't take out the transmission. If so you might break or ruin a new torque converter. Also the valves in the trans pump can cause a t.c. to go bad. Sorry for sounding negative but better safe than sorry.
