I am in the middle of rebuilding my 6.4 and found that the crank thrust bearing was shot. From what people tell me, that is caused by the crank "walking". Most people agree that it is probably a transmission problem with the torque converter being the #1 culprit. This makes sense to me because if the TC was ballooning, it would do exactly that, push on the crank and cause thrust bearing failure.

So the question I need to ask is, what aftermarket TC should I get? I have looked at BD, ATS, Suncoast etc. There seems to be a small difference in price between all these TC's (couple hundred bucks). Is there one that stands out among the rest or would I be good with just about any high quality TC from any of these guys? Also, does anyone know what stock stall is on the 5R110 TC?
