Is this worth buying? I don't know much about the trans and converters. I have been offered a lower price than what is posted and wondering if I should take it or run. They have a 100% feedback for ebay customers to. Your comments are most welcome.

 

Hmm didn't find a TC for the CTD on their website....

Don't know anything about them...

I have talkeed to them, they have been in the business for a while. I have not purchased anything yet. I am gonna try one in my 440 crew cab later this fall. Priced right for a non-lockup 727!!

 

I forget who it is, but someone on this forum has one in their truck. Maybe do a search and PM them.

 

AlpineRam Click on converter on the home page.

Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on Click here to veiw "Street/Strip & Full Race Series" Ford & Crysler Performance TC's.

On that page scroll down to the bottom of the page again and click on the truck with a trailor to view the "Heavy Duty Series".

On that page scroll down near the bottom to view the two TC's they offer for the CTD.

Good Luck!

Does anyone on this site have this converter already installed? Thanks for the replies.

 

Thanks!
Now I found it- it was close to midnight when I tried it first

With all those vendors around it would be interesting to work out an objective method of comparing the stall and the torque multiplication etc characteristics for different TCs. This would take the guesswork out of the selection a bit. (Will this fit my truck or not? ) I think that there are a lot of good suppliers and they all have their goals set for their TCs.

It may or may not be a good idea, but it might be cool to show a thread where people with "less" known torque converters and shift kits (or valve bodys) share a little of their experiance good or bad, just no bashing. With well over 12000 of us their should be alot of options collectively, so comeon fellow dtr members give us your 2 cents. just my .002.

thank-you

 

I agree! Bring it on ctd owners! What do you got and how well does it perform?(Less known vendors of course.)

 

I think it will be necessary to supply torque curves or at least a list of the engine mods, axle ratio and usage- like weight pulled or hauled- in addition to the TC used and the experience. I think that the TC must be matched to the torque curve and the usage and therefore a "good" TC for me might be a "bad" TC for somebody else.

AlpineRam and everyone,


I agree, please tell us your thoughts on your aftermarket torque converter and or any other tranny mods, besides the "most-popular" ones. Please let us know what you have for mods, aprox. hp & tq. etc.. It would also be nice to know how many miles you have on it. Basically all around thoughts. Just my .002



thank-you

 

It doesn't mention having any increased lockup clutch area... IMO, that's important, too!
