torque converter???
 

just lost the th400 in my 87 crew 4x4 6.2l. ive got another in my shop but i need to change out the torque converter to a diesel one. i found one at summit for $100 but the lowest stall they have is 1700. is that low enough? were else can i get one that wont break the bank? i read that the stock stall is around 1300 is that true?

thanks

A higher stall is not a good idea with a diesel. Diesel transmissions have different valve body calibrations & governors than gas engines. Is the replacment from a diesel pick-up?

no the replacement is from a gas rig. i was under the imression that all i needed to do is change the torque converter/vac modulator and gov over to the diesel stuff and she would be good to go behind my 6.2. im looking for a stock diesel torque converter stall so i can source one online.
