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

If you're looking to get the most out of your diesel truck's drivetrain, especially when towing or hauling heavy loads, a robust torque converter is key. This FTI Performance BA Series Billet Lock-Up Torque Converter is built specifically for the Ford 5R110 transmission, a common unit in many diesel pickups. It's designed to handle the increased demands placed on the transmission by a powerful diesel engine, offering improved durability and performance over stock converters.

This converter features a billet aluminum stator and housing, which are much stronger and more rigid than the stamped steel components found in factory units. This means it can better withstand the higher torque and heat generated by diesel engines. The triple clutch design offers more surface area for engagement, leading to smoother power transfer and better holding capacity, especially important when you're putting the truck to work. The low stall speed specification means the engine will rev higher before the converter fully couples, which is beneficial for towing applications as it allows the engine to get into its power band more effectively before the load starts moving. The 6-stud design also contributes to a more solid connection and better heat dissipation.

When upgrading your torque converter, it's important to consider the overall health of your transmission. This FTI converter is a significant upgrade, and it's often paired with other transmission enhancements to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Make sure to consult with your transmission specialist to ensure this converter is the right match for your specific truck's modifications and intended use. Please note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
