Default torque converter

Just started looking for a torque converter, not having any luck.
Found one for the 45rfe but it said for jeep, could that work??

Has anyone done this mod for their truck?

Does anyone have before and after dyno pulls with a TC change? Just wondering if there is any proof that someone makes a good TC.

Call or shoot an email to Marty at KRC Performance. They do them in Dodges quite often and he dyno's there. I know I've been there and he's pointed to one on a table and said that if you want to cut your 25% lost from the engine to the rear wheels down to 10%, put in one of those...

I willcall him, but if he tells me that same thing I will just hang up the phone. I don't believe that for one second.

stratus - I've always heard our torque converters sucked, I've heard losses of up to 30%
