Do you happen to know the part number of the "new" torque converter that presses in and doesn't rattle? I want to let the people repairing my truck to get the part number--Thanks for everyone here-I kinda knew that the local "stealer" was trying to pull a fast one put the threads here have confirmed my worst fears.

 

Just tell your dealership to look up the "Star Case" number for torque convertors, they already have the info for it. If my memory serves me right, ther are 3 different TQ convertors available. I will try to find and post the star case info in here if i can relocate where i posted it in the past. It will have the correct TQ convertor part number for your specific truck model in it. If you have a newer truck than 2011, a dealership can still look up the updated TQ convertor for you.

Star Case: #S1121000005

Release Date: 6/30/11

Symptom/Vehicle Issue:
Customer indicates that the vehicle has a slight moan, drone, or rattle noise and sounds as though it is coming from the exhaust, The customer may indicate that the noise occurs under light load (1400 - 1700 engine rpm - around 40 to 60 mph)

Diagnosis:
Confirm that the noise only occurs while the torque converter is in lock-up at low speeds (around 1400 - 1700 engine RPM) at approximately 45 mph. If the noise is heard while transmission is in partial lock-up at 1400 - 1700 RPM, put the vehicle into ERS - Tow/Haul mode (deactivates MDS and torque converter in full lock-up) If the noise is unchanged, perform the following repair procedure. If the noise goes away in ERS mode, further diagnosis is required. If the noise occurs above 1700 RPM or below 1400 RPM, further diagnosis is required.

that would be good so that EVERYONE can use this information.

I have an 02 ram 1500 4x4 with the 4.7. I got a CEL with the code for torque converter clutch solenoid. It will idle fine in park and neutral, but when I put it in gear with foot on brake and rev to about 1200 rims and let off it stalls. This happens after it starts to warm up, if I come to a stop it stalls out. I called a dodge dealership and talked to a mechanic and he said it sounds like the torque converter is stuck in locked position. I have the 45rfe tranny
