Torque converter is differrent from the gas to diesel model. If going with a CUMMINS I would go with a low stall TRANSTAR single disc if your going easy on the power, or go with a PI triple disc if going big. Also at the minimum install a TRANSGO shift kit in your trans while your doing the swap, and eliminate the pressure knock down.

You realize he probably has no clue what the pressure knockdown is, right? :rofl:
