Found a place in Ontario Ca. That made me a T/C for a th400 with a stall speed of 1200 for $65.00.
Works get.

I'm guessing you meant to say works great!? I am looking for a new/rebuilt tranny and TC. What is the name of the place and phone number? Do they have a website? Thanks. John

The Cummins for Dodge torque converter was made by the same company that made GM torque converters.

The GM D4 T400 converter was for 454 and 6.2 engines. Internals are identical to the lower stall Dodge version, so the upgrade is easy, for a torque converter shop.
Works for me, but requires idling in neutral, to keep fluid temps manageable.

Another benefit of my HotRod 1700 rpm stall converter: less heat generation stopped at idle.

However, mine is NOT the best setup for towing. For that you should use a 1200 rpm stall converter for better efficiency.

That sounds like a good price for a torque converter. I thought they ran around $200 or so.

Yes it is a good price. Dealer wanted $389. To rich for my wallet.
