2019-2024 Ram 6.7L Cummins Torque Converters

About 2019-2024 Ram 6.7L Cummins Torque Converters

Your Ram's torque converter is one of the most important parts of its driveline, and making sure your 2019-2024 Ram 2500 or 3500 6.7L Cummins has a high-quality torque converter is critical if you're looking to add extra horsepower and torque onto your tough Ram truck. Unfortunately, the factory torque converters aren't the best best-built things in the world and they can struggle to hold extra power or handle heavy towing, tough off-roading, or launching hard at the track. The good news is that there's plenty of Ram Cummins performance torque converters to choose from so that you can find the perfect Ram Cummins torque converter for your truck's power levels or budget.

There's all sorts of different types of torque converters available, and we here at Tier One have a nice selection, though things can get a little confusing in a heck of a hurry. The most general advice for torque converters that we can give is that the material (e.g. cast or billet) will decide how strong a given torque converter is, while the amount of discs (e.g. single-disc, multi-disc, triple-disc, etc.) will decide the clamping force during lockup. Both factor in to how much power and what kind of applications a given torque converter can handle.

Billet torque converters for Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks use billet covers and have superior structural strength in comparison to factory torque converter's cast covers. High-strength billet torque converters are much less likely to warp, crack, or burn up when they're put under high levels of load from extra horsepower and torque.

Single-disc torque converters for Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks feature an OE-style internal design with one friction disc that engages during lockup. The single friction disc works fine at stock or near-stock power levels, but you may run into slipping issues at higher power levels. That being said, single-disc torque converters don't usually require a billet input shaft, since the clamping force during lockup isn't strong enough to cause issues.

Multi-disc torque converters for Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks are also sometimes called dual-disc torque converters have two friction discs inside them which increases the effective surface are of the friction material and gives them more clamping force than OE-style single-disc torque converters. The extra clamping force helps prevent slip during lockup on higher-horsepower applications and gives your Ram much more positive and firm lockup. In general, a billet input shaft isn't really required for dual-disc/multi-disc torque converter, but can be a good idea if you're towing on regular, driving pretty aggressively off-road, or taking you truck to the track.

Triple-disc torque converters for Ram 6.7L Cummins trucks add another friction disc into the mix so that your high-powered Ram build gets a torque converter with extremely positive lockup and enough clamping force to handle even the highest-horsepower Ram Cummins build. The only bad news about triple-disc converters is that we here at Tier One strongly recommend using a Billet input shaft in conjunction with a triple-disc converter. Ram Cummins triple-disc converters have so much clamping force that the factory cast steel input shaft can have trouble keeping it together, and is liable to spiral, crack, or even outright break when under load. Billet steel input shafts are far stronger than stock and can better handle the huge torsional forces that occur during the lockup of a triple-disc torque converter.
