Default BD Torque Converter

Just put a new converter in my 2006 ram it holds the power but feels very sluggish off the line unless you bring up the rpms 300 or so

Must not be as tight as an ATS. Mine locks up hard. Keep thinking that it's going to snap the input shaft.

Had an 03 D-Max and that thing drove/rode like a Cadillac. But I tell ya, after long drives, your back, entire body for that matter ached. Seats sucked major in that truck.

Still haven't figured it out Ashley? I swear I think it has something to do with your programing and not the converter. By the way was that you parallel painting on Belroi rd just past Short ln?
