Huges torque converter

[7.3_IDI_guy]

I have found out that my torque converter is bad hurts my feelings but what can ya do. I want to set this thing up to where its very unlikely this will happen again! I found this huges performance diesel torque converter that looks pretty enticing. also i found a set of valve bodies at beans diesel performance that i might go with. links below

TC- http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HUP-46ALXFM/

Valve bodies- http://bdpshop.com/power-stroke/1994-1997-7-3l/transmission-differential/bts-valve-body.html

Is anybody running any of this? I already have it squared away to go to chattanooga state cummunity college to the diesel mechanics shop for free so the shear cost wont be effected by labor.

Don't know about the TC. I would imagine the valve body is built to go behind a powerstroke. You might have better luck dealing direct with BTS here on that to get one tuned to your truck.

https://racerxusa.com/product_info....d=269&osCsid=d5cc46bfe00ad32c77fc806d3122a446

BTS is rated way up there too of course.so im sure the valve body is good.but so is racerx:

The X4TC is a great converter. It will take any abuse the IDI can throw at it.

so you have had one? if you have did it shift really hard or anything?

Still have it.

The converter dosn't affect the shifts. That would be the accumulator body (Valve body). But so far the converter has taken any abuse I can throw at it.

Thats what i'll go with then

as far as i know my tq is the original. i have to give quite a bit of throttle to get the truck moving. would one of those racerx converters allow the power to be transferred threw the drive train to the wheels down lower in the rpm range?

hope that makes sense.

You might want to look into the precision of new hampton units http://www.gopnh.com/Ford-Heavy-Duty-Torque-Converters.cfm I've heard lots of good things about them.

It has a lower stall, so yes it allow it to with less throttle.

It's more fun to slam the throttle to the floor.
