Well after some research and measuring it turns out that the 6.7 uses a different bolt than the 5.9 version. Now the center portion of it isn't exactly the same which can allow the torque converter to not be centered which can cause a vibration that would take out the pump on the transmission.

The motor we have here they switched from imperial to metric on it. I will try and get some pictures of what it looks like on the back of the engine. Probably wont be until monday though.

I am not trying to talk anyone out of it. Just what we saw lining it up. I will try to get you guys some pictures of it. I just called two of the dealers that I work with and both said they werent a direct fit??? If anyone has installed one let us know.

You have me wondering now if they put a 5.9 flexplate in or if they actually did what they said. I googled the part # of the flexplate they put in but I can't find anything on it. The part # is 5015709-AB. I will owe one cold adult beverage to the first one to find out which flexplate this part # belongs to.

Note that if you just search for "Drive Plate" you get two parts, one for $50ish for 5.9 and one for $80ish for 6.7. Me thinks you'll need the beverage yourself.

Well, looks like once again they lied to me. Those people are DIRTBAGS! The mechanic that was working on my truck said " I ordered & am putting on the 6.7L flexplate for you". Oh well, this isn't the first time they lied to me. Glad I didn't pay for it. When the time comes I'll be getting the Black SFI approved BD flexplate. Jumper, if your ever in Texas, I got one in the fridge for you.
