ok guys this is driving me crazy i blew my trany up awhile back and i got a 47rh out of a v-10 gasser and i ussed the v 10 tc thinking they were the same. the tranny seems fine it shifts exactly were it should since it was a recent rebuild(they say). but my problem is the tc i beleive it slips and im wonderin if that is to do with it bein from a v 10 i would apreciate any help with this thanks in advance

 

They are different in fluid coupling.

 

ok does it have to do with the different power bands when the tc should acheive full lock up?

 

Yeah, you will need a lower stall speed then a gasser tc will have.

 

ok thats what i was wondering just wanted to make sure it kinda sucks to be outrun by a beetle

 

TCI makes a decent tc from what I hear for the money... $550 for a diesel rated lower stall converter.

 

You could also install a governor spring kit and have the CTD rev as high as the V10

There are more differences than only the TC- First it's the lower rpm that make the diesel TC different, you can add a low stall diesel TC. Then the troubles begin, because the stock V10 tranny is set up for the torque curve of the gasser- and at 1600-1800 the V10 has nothing while the CTD has tranny shredding torque. Right now your weak TC saves your tranny by simply not getting the torque through. You will need at least a diesel VB, but it would be much better to get an aftermarket diesel VB especially if you want to run a low stall TC.

try a lockup switch in there.

 

ok i use to have a lock up switch and i tried it and the tc locked up when i flipped it but even with my truck stock it slipped it the reason i dont think it is my tranny is because my fluid still looks and smells good and its different everyday on how bad it slips and i was lookin at the tci tc and is said it was non lock up

 

Governors are different also. Don't believe much difference in VB's (separtor plate or something). Lock up torque converter has smooth surface on first half inch of input shaft. Non lockup has splines all the way. Hyd circuits and VB's different between lock and non lockup.
