banks stinger kit for 24 valve

[Archive]

I just got through talking with the Banks rep and he informed me they now have the stinger kit for subject engine (Mines y2k) and it would not void your warranty with an automatic xmsn. He said the 4 speed automatic on the 2000 was designed to handle 600 ft. pound of torque. I can't find any information to confirm that. Does anyone out there in cyberspace have one of those installed yet?

That torque figure sounds awfully high for the Dodge auto, especially considering the NV4500 5 speed is rated to 460 ft. lbs. and the NV5600 6 speed is rated to 550 ft. lbs. I wouldn't bet my truck's warranty on that figure. Just my . 02 cents.

There is no difference in the 1999 and the 2000 auto transmission in the Dodge 24V ISB. Dodge would have let everyone know in their sales brochures if the trans was beefed up--- I think that would be a strong selling point--don't you? Sam

Well guys I'll be able to tell you all about the Stinger-Plus kit in a 5 spd. 4x4, SB, CC truck in about two weeks. I ordered my kit yesterday and expect it to arrive next week while I'm gone on my hoeymoon. So after I have a killer time in the Bahamas with my new wife, I get to come home and try out my new super-power kit--wow, what a life!!!

You guys might want to get a hold of "Fitz". He posted a thread last week about his new Stinger-Plus kit in his auto truck. He emailed me this morning and said he is still having issues with the ecm not working properly when the Banks piggy-back ecm is hooked-up. Apparently, the ecm can't ever decide if it wants to lock the TC or unlock it.

Happy dieseling to you all.

I work for Chrysler and the 1999 and 2000 auto are the same. I asked the people that build the trans.
I think the guy at Banks should let Chrysler know he rerated the trans. Maby he knows something they don't.

The auto transmission in the dodge trucks has not changed since mid year 98 when they added a check ball in the valve body, I have been doing a lot of shift kits, torque converters
and rebuilds (high mileage) this year.
We have put alot of power to this transmission without failure, when set up properly.
I do believe that the trans can handle upwards of 750 lbs torque.
On the other hand the stock converter will melt down for sure with anything above 600 lbs torque.
I treat them as two seperate parts, like a five speed and a clutch.
We address the weak points, then the whole package becomes very durable, even in abusive driving.
Factory ratings are there for the most abusive situations.
If using a little comon sense while driving you can get away with alot.
If you are going to do any power mods on an automatic equipped truck, I suggest you, at the very minimum, install a TFOD Diesel shift kit, and for real durable combo go with an aftermarket converter.

I hope this helps
