Hi,

I'm on the hunt for a reasonable priced Converter for a 89/727/2WD 1st gen Cummins which is available outright without a core
as it has to be shipped to germany. TCI 142240 is not really advertised beeing a Diesel Converter but its has the correct 24 input Splines,
low stall 1000-1200RPM is made for towing and according to TCI Tech Depart it shall survice behind a Cummins even with around 500 Torque.

But I guess I need to get rid of the Starter Ring, anybody has done that in the past?

Am I missing something else? Comparing to most other offers I can see 395$ for this one looks like a steal

 

Well, gas TCs on the diesel do not work good in my experience.
I don't know if this would help you, but I migh be able to get you a TC from a 99 diesel truck with the 47RE trans. (Stock part used)
Naturally this converter has a lockup clutch.
If it fits you can have it for the price of shipping it from Austria to you, should be no customs duties or taxes on it.

 

Many Thanx Alpine Austria
Will PM you
