Yup, what ^he^ said. But yes, somebody did mention, and I second, do change all the mounts. My tranny mount had failed. And for reference, my truck has 208k and trans seems good to go. And doing a trans swap in a driveway is possible, but not ideal.

Just make sure you talk with the torque converter company at length and in detail about your application and look for their recommendation... actual hp/torque, gear ratio, intended use (are you ever going to tow), vehicle weight, etc all play a role in what they might recommend... most advertised 6R80 torque converters out there with advertised stall speeds assume they are going in a mustang... that same torque converter behind a 6.2 would behave completely different... that being said, a new or refurbished stock stall converter is a smart thing to do while you have it all apart if you have a bunch of miles and abuse... it would not surprise me that if a torque converter specialist recommended a converter with very near to stock stall speed since with a roots/screw supercharger your torque comes in at low rpm, almost off idle... unlike a cammed N/A or centrifugal s/c application where the power band shifts up in rpm from stock.

I'm running a DS-1 so centrifugal. How would that affect the converter

lead frame is the electronics part of the transmission valve body...

I can't believe somebody else isn't giving him a hard time about not knowing this. @MurderedOutSVT has been here long enough now, he should of known this, shame shame, ha ha

I'll be the first to admit that automagic transmissions are just that....magic.

Lead frame gets me thinkin the actual frame.

Valvebody electronics makes sense though

Ok, can we finally put this hoax to bed now? We’ve all had a little fun and everything, but let’s come clean now.

No Jen Juan has ever had a motor or transmission problem ever. 5.4, 6.2 motor rebuild stories are fantasies concocted by Ecoboost Raptor owners.
#FACTs

@MurderedOutSVT had us all going for a while, but really he probably just had a bad tank of gas and only got 10 instead of 11mpg.

What a newb thing to say

Ya fount me out....but it was 9.5mpg dammit. I got triggered.

I have made it to 16 pages though

 

[CoronaRaptor]

Idea, drop a 5.4 in there!

Hesitate to say, my experience is mustangs when it comes to aftermarket torque converters, often the centrifugal s/c is married with cams to take advantage of the power adder which all tends to push the power band up in rpms (if stock power band was 1500-5500 with cams that power band may move to 2500-6500 and a higher stall speed might be appropriate depending on application)... with a centrifugal on a 6.2L running the factory F150 cams I think you have a mixed bag... talk to a torque converter company Circle D is a good place to start... my experience is mostly older BB Fords, run a full manual Dynamic Racing Transmission C6 with a TCT torque converter with a custom stall (402 cui FE motor)... I would say that a custom torque converter with a near factory stall speed (if that is what they recommend) is an upgrade, better bearings, better lock-up clutches, billet parts, furnace brazed fins...

all that being said...
