Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Torque converter??

[PhillipFleming]

Just tryen to get some thoughts on a converter for my truck. Been looken @ DPC. Have any of you used them at all? what do you think? think it would hold with up with my current mods? im mean the single disc? thanks guys

Hello Phillip,



You didn't do nothing wrong.



I have no personal experience with DPC, mine is from Goerends. I have a good friend with a pulling truck that's running a DPC converter and he's happy with it. They have a good rep over on CompD, too. I don't think you'll go wrong with them. Be honest with them about how you're going to use it and they'll make sure you get the right one.

Thank you scott! didnt think i was doen somthen wrong just havent heard anything back on any thread. Is yer goerends a triple disc or a single? did you keep the same stall speed aswell? ive been hearing that most go with a lower stall.

It's a triple disc. I'm not sure on the stall. I talked to them at Goerends and told them where I was on power and what I wanted to do with the truck. They sent me what I needed. I also have one of their constant pressure valve bodies, band anchor, and billet input shaft. The rest of the transmission's stock.

I run a DTT it has over 300,000 miles on it.

Low stall.

Hello, what does the constant pressure valve body do? I've never heard of this.

SRay, what they are doing is modifying the stock valve body... . well, I say that. Those guys at Gorend are really sharp. They may be making their own valve bodies and divider flow sheets..... But when we talked about installing the shift kits from TransGo, it does something similar to what they are trying to do..... Keep pressure and fluid flow up to keep components bathed, cool, and lubed. It helps with shifting, longetivity, and reliability. From the factory, the 2nd gen trannies are not exactly up to par with what the engine is so easily capable of. The updated and modified valve body, such as with the shift kit, helps keep pressures up at lower rpm, locking up the convertor a little easier, as well as clutches when shifting gear. This gives a more firm shift, but there is less time for clutches to slip, which results in less wear, as well as keeping the torque convertor clutches locked up and not slipping at the lower rpms we like to run at..... That help any?

Hhhuntitall: yes thank you. So this should be the valve body that my friends 1998 should have?

 

[HHhuntitall]

Should be.
