BD Diesel ProForce Torque Converter for the 66RFE Transmission

It uses new seals, bearings, bushings, and O-rings, along with thicker lockup friction material for higher thermal capacity and a smoother, stronger apply than the factory converter. This converter is designed to pair with BD Diesel's 66RFE pressure and clutch upgrades for reliable performance in stock and mildly modified trucks.
