Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1041210 5.9L Cummins Flexplate is a heavy-duty replacement designed for Dodge Ram trucks running the 5.9L Cummins diesel with 47RH, 47RE, or 48RE automatic transmissions from 1994–2007. Factory flexplates are known to crack, warp, or fail under high mileage, towing stress, or increased torque output. BD Diesel’s upgraded flexplate is built to handle the abuse that stock components often can’t.
Manufactured from high-quality steel and precision-balanced, this flexplate is engineered to reduce cracking around the crankshaft flange and starter ring gear area. It’s an ideal upgrade for stock trucks as well as performance builds, high-mileage work trucks, and towing applications where reliability is critical.

FAQ
Why upgrade the flexplate on a 5.9L Cummins?
The factory flexplate is a known weak point, especially on high-mileage or hard-working trucks. An upgraded flexplate helps prevent cracking, vibration, and transmission-related failures.

While stock trucks may not require it immediately, this flexplate is a smart preventative upgrade for towing, plowing, or long-term reliability.
Does this flexplate work with aftermarket torque converters?
Yes. It is compatible with stock and aftermarket torque converters designed for 47RH, 47RE, and 48RE transmissions.
