Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1071217X ProForce 3D Torque Converter is a heavy-duty, performance-oriented upgrade for 1994–2007 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 trucks equipped with the 5.9L Cummins diesel engine and 47RH, 47RE, or 48RE automatic transmissions. Designed to handle increased torque while improving drivability, this converter features an enhanced stall speed to optimize launch characteristics, towing performance, and overall transmission efficiency.
Built using BD Diesel’s ProForce 3D technology, this torque converter incorporates a furnace-brazed impeller, reinforced turbine, upgraded stator assembly, and a precision-balanced rotating group. The enhanced stall design helps the engine reach its optimal torque band sooner, reducing converter slip, lowering transmission temperatures, and improving throttle response under load. This makes it an ideal solution for towing, hauling, and performance-oriented street trucks.
