Hey guys
I just ordered a 5.9 from precision engines and already got the new pcm to complete the 5.2 to 5.9 swap and im looking for a new torque converter with possibly a 2000 rpm or so stall speed. Anyone know the best place to find it? I believe i have the 46re trans in the truck. Thanks for your help

 

going to need more than a TC, if you plan on doing ANYTHING with the trans....our transmissions SUCK

 

you shoulda ordered yourself a cummins bad boy edition

 

What's your reasoning for the higher stall speed?

 

I already replaced the trans. Its got a jasper with less than 1000 miles on it. swapped it out right before my engine went. I wanted a higher stall torque converter for better torque off the line. But i can get a new one thats stock for a 5.9 for around 200 bucks. I just know that the torque converter is different from the 5.2 because of the internal vs external balencing. Thats about all i know about that so any information would be appreciated.

 

Give these guys a call, and see what they recommend.

 

MonteC (our resident tranny guy) highly recommended these guys to me. I love my TC now

Thanks for the recommendations. I spoke to jasper about the differences in the TC's and they said they show the same part number for both the 5.2 and the 5.9 with the 46re trans. Jasper said it should work without a problem. I hope that thats the correct information so i dont have to rip the truck apart again. I do however need to replace the flex plate right?

 

Yep, will need a 5.9 flexplate as well. (dodge calls it a driveplate........)

 

My truck has a 2500 stall, and I think its the reason my truck feels pretty sluggish off the line. If you talk to the people that the guys above recommended, post back if they recommend running a higher stall for offroad/towing, or the stock stall would be better.
