The BD Diesel 1071217X Triple Torqueforce converter fits 1994-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks with the 5.9L Cummins and the 47RH, 47RE or 48RE automatic. The factory single clutch converter slips once fuel and boost go up, and that slip builds heat that cooks fluid and wears out the transmission. This version uses an enhanced stall that suits most street and towing trucks, rated around 1,800 rpm.
BD replaces the factory lockup with three lockup clutches on self-centering trapezoid teeth, behind a CNC machined one-piece cover that keeps factory height. A riveted damper, thrust bearings in place of plastic washers and furnace brazed turbine fins round out the build. Core required, refundable deposit at checkout.
Key Features & Benefits
- Triple Disc Lockup: Three clutches hold far more torque than the factory single disc, so lockup stays solid under load.
- One-Piece Machined Cover: Resists warping from clutch heat, holds balance and can be rebuilt more times.
- Trapezoid Clutch Teeth: Self-centering teeth increase contact area and cut wear and chatter.
- Riveted Damper: Riveted rather than welded to keep alignment and avoid heat distortion, with HD springs to soften engagement.
- Cast Stator and New Sprag: Stator design matched to the Cummins torque curve, with new sprag parts for long term durability.

Vehicle Fitment & Technical Installation Notes
Fits 1994-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 with the 5.9L Cummins and a 47RH, 47RE or 48RE automatic transmission.
Installation Tip: BD recommends a billet input shaft with this converter on high torque engines, and a full transmission service at install. Pre-fit the converter to the flexplate and crankshaft pilot, add two quarts of fluid before installing, and feel it drop in three times as it engages the input shaft, stator support and pump. Never use a water-based flush; it destroys the lockup clutch lining.
