I have a 2001 F150 4.6L with a 4R70W transmission. What torque convertor do I buy? I see three different ones online and through Ford also.

 

Can you explain what the 3 options are?

 

one says AODE 11 3/4 inch one say 4R70W 12 3/4 31 spline inch and all have codes like 64A or 72A

 

a 12-3/4" torque converter, that seems really big

 

Talked to my Buddy who owns a trans shop. He gave me three different versions made by Dacco. You can get these directly from Dacco, or Autozone, Advance, Transtar, Whatever it Takes....

He recently built the the 4R70W for me in my Expy. It has the F60HS in it. I personally don't like it much. The HS means high stall. You let off the brake, and you have to push the gas to get it to move. More than likely your truck came with the equivalent to the F60LS. LS means low stall. It's about an 1100 stall. It's going to start pulling pretty much when you let off the brake.

Here are the 3 versions he gave me:

F60HS - About 1700 stall
F60 - About a 1400 stall
F60LS - About 1100 stall

 

Maybe this will help. It's out of the Dacco catalog.
