FTI Ford 5R110 BA Series Billet Lock-Up Diesel Converter - 6 Stud - Triple Clutch - Extra Low Stall

This is the FTI Performance BA Series Billet Lock-Up Torque Converter, specifically built for Ford 5R110 diesel transmissions. If you're looking to handle more power and get a more responsive feel from your diesel truck, this converter is a solid choice. It's designed to be a direct replacement for your stock unit, but with significant upgrades in strength and performance.

What sets this converter apart is its billet construction, which means it's machined from a solid block of aluminum for exceptional strength and durability. This is crucial for diesel applications where torque loads can be very high. It features a 6-stud design for added security and a triple-clutch lock-up system. This triple-clutch setup provides a more robust engagement and better heat dissipation compared to single-clutch designs, helping to prevent premature wear under heavy use. The 'extra low stall' specification means the engine RPM will be closer to the transmission's engagement RPM when you're off the brake, giving you a more direct feel and improved acceleration off the line, especially important for towing or hauling.

When installing a torque converter, it's important to ensure the transmission fluid is clean and at the correct level. Also, make sure the converter is fully seated onto the transmission pump before bolting the flexplate to it; failure to do so can damage the pump. This converter is a significant upgrade for any diesel owner looking for improved performance and reliability from their drivetrain.
