What is a flexplate and why upgrade from stock?

A flexplate connects your engine's crankshaft to your torque converter. Stock flexplates can crack under the high torque of modified diesel engines, leading to drivetrain failure. This billet flexplate is made from solid steel with no welds, offering a much stronger and more reliable connection.

Does this flexplate come with all necessary hardware?

This flexplate is designed as a direct replacement and typically includes the flexplate itself. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions or your vehicle's service manual to confirm if any additional hardware, such as specific bolts or thread locker, is required for installation.

What is the benefit of billet steel construction?

Billet steel is machined from a solid block of steel, meaning it has no welds or seams. This makes it significantly stronger and more resistant to cracking or failure under extreme stress compared to stamped or welded flexplates, which is crucial for high-torque diesel applications.

Product Details

Crafted from a solid piece of billet steel, this flexplate is built to handle the extreme torque demands of your Dodge 5.9L diesel engine paired with a 47RE or 48RE transmission. Unlike stock flexplates that can crack or fail under high horsepower and torque, this FTI unit offers a much stronger, more reliable connection between your engine and transmission. The billet construction means there are no welds to fail, providing a consistent and durable interface for your drivetrain.

This flexplate is designed as a direct replacement for your original, ensuring it bolts up correctly without modification. The precision machining ensures proper balance and alignment, which is crucial for smooth operation and longevity of your engine and transmission components. If you're pushing significant power through your Cummins engine, upgrading to a billet flexplate like this one is a smart move to prevent costly drivetrain failures down the road. It's a well-built component that addresses a common weak point in high-performance diesel applications.

When installing this flexplate, it's important to ensure all torque converter bolts are properly tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. This flexplate is designed to work with your existing torque converter and transmission, but always refer to your service manual for the correct installation procedures and any additional hardware or sealants that may be required. This is a solid option for anyone looking to build a more robust drivetrain for their diesel Dodge.
