The BD Diesel 1071220LX is a high-performance automotive torque converter designed for heavy-duty applications, including towing and street use in Dodge Ram trucks from 2007 to 2009 with the 68RFE transmission. Featuring machined pistons and heavy-duty springs, this converter absorbs the shock of engagement, ensuring smooth power transfer and durability under severe conditions. The stamped forged one-piece cover eliminates warping caused by clutch heat, while the taller cover can be rebuilt more often, enhancing serviceability and longevity. Its trapezoid teeth design and engineered tighter tolerances promote optimal contact, reducing wear and chatter for consistent operation.
Constructed with advanced features such as furnaced brazed turbine fins, this converter maximizes fluid coupling efficiency and reduces internal leakage, leading to improved torque transfer and fuel economy. The cast stator design further enhances torque capacity, making this converter suitable for demanding towing and performance scenarios. New sprag components contribute to long-term durability, while the riveted pistons ensure proper alignment and eliminate issues related to vibration or embrittlement from welding. The overall reduction in weight by 12 pounds compared to competitors not only improves vehicle handling but also reduces stress on drivetrain components.
This performance converter is built with high-quality materials and precise manufacturing standards, backed by a 36-month/150,000-mile parts warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile labor warranty. It is engineered to withstand high torque loads and provide reliable, efficient power delivery for fleet vehicles and heavy-duty trucks. Proper installation, including replacing related components such as the pilot bearing and resurfacing the flywheel, is crucial to maximize performance and lifespan. The BD Diesel 1071220LX is an essential upgrade for those seeking increased towing capacity, improved engagement, and long-term drivetrain reliability.
