Torque converter
I have a question...actually it is two questions.. I had a Jasper HD transmission installed in my 00 f350 with a 7.3 less then a year ago. I was told by the guy that did my gears that I might not have the right TC in it. If it is the one that came with the transmission how could it not be the right one for the truck.. also, I was told the waste gate is not performing correctly..ok i am new to diesels.. what the hell is a waste gate and how do you get it to perform correctly....sorry if it sounds stupid...but new to this diesel thing.. and want to get up to speed..
thanks
thanks

I don't really have any viable ideas on the TC.
For the wastegate, which is a valve that on a stock turbo is driven by boost pressure to start to open via a PCM signal at around 5psi and steadily bleed off excess pressure as boost being created from the compressor is being increased.
Was there a code that "the guy" was using to determine a possible issue?
You can test the function of the wastegate diaphram actuator by pressurizing it to see if it moves the rod connected to the wastegate valve.
I wonder what "the guy" was referring to though.
