since the converter in my truck is on its way out i want to get a new one and also get a better transcooler.
i know nothing about transmissions and need help getting steered in the right direction.
i figure i ought to get one to handle what i want to do (stage 1's, hpop, turbo, chip)
and on a transcooler, cnc fab has a 6.0 one for 200, is that good?
TIA!

 

Im in the same boat but from what i seen 6.0 tc are great and durrable. At work we have 05 f350 with 365k on stock tranny and tc, engine is a whole different story, mind you this truck tows at its limits 1 or twice a week in the city wich are hell for trannys and has a 2000lb flatbed.

 

Triple disc billet is what I would get. I run one from Racer X, not cheap, but a very good unit.

 

Racer X on both. Hes a great guy & a good friend .RACER X USA - RACER X USA

 

Racer X Custom Torque Converters RACER X USA - RACER X USA
so which one should i get? theres only one that talks about it helping diesel trucks
623

 

RACER X USA


That's what I run.

 

I run a BTS transmission with the precision industries converter 👍🏻👍🏻 I also run the super duty 7.3 cooler mounted in the bumper. Excellent cooling capacity though some here don't think so. I've never had the fluid above 165 degrees with a combined vehicle weight of 20,000 lbs.

 

What about this one? Seems to be rated from what the OP haas in mind...

RECON 7.3L BILLET COVER TRIPLE DISK TORQUE CONVERTER

 

is it okay that it is 6 stud? idk what that even means...

 

Ford E40D Torque Converter Heavy Duty Triple Clutch Billet
how about this one even though he says its for a gas truck will it work?

Won't work. You need a 6 stud for a diesel.

 

well i found a known good tc on craigslist for 40 bucks i just want to make sure its the problem before i spend 600 on a nice one.
1380

 

I wouldn't waste 40 bucks on a used converter but thats just me..... who knows if the person has actually got a good one or one they just ran a bunch of metal an stuff through and now its sold on CL as "good"

 

well i decided to get a whole tranny rebuild "stage one" through the best tranny guy i know, he has been in multiple magazines and has people come from all over for him and hes only 15 mins from my house. he quoted me 2500 for a triple disc converter, all new internals(he said he was going to take some hard parts from a 4r100 since those are built better?) and new solenoid packs and other electronics, repainted and a new transpan. sound good to you guys?

 

That's about what I have into mine cost-wise.
