Aisin AS69RC ProForce 10D Torque Converter (2013–2018 Ram 3500/4500/5500 6.7L Cummins)

Built for heavy haulers and upfit work trucks: BD’s new ProForce 10D multi-disc converter adds massive torque holding capacity and durability to the AS69RC—without the harsh lockup you’d expect from a race-style unit.

Quick Summary: 20% thicker billet cover • 10 friction surfaces (5 frictions + 5 steels) for ~67% more torque capacity • Billet apply piston & clutch hub • Retains OEM damper & captured clutch for factory-smooth drivability • 36-mo/150k-mi parts warranty.

Who It’s For

  • Tow/haul duty on Ram 3500/4500/5500 chassis—goosenecks, equipment, hotshot.
  • Upfit fleets (service bodies, dump, utility) needing consistent lockup and reduced slip heat.
  • Modified 6.7L Cummins where the stock single-disc clutch is the weak link under load.

What’s Inside the ProForce 10D

  • Heavy Duty Billet Cover — ~20% thicker to resist flex and prevent clutch coning under high apply pressures.
  • 10 Friction Surfaces — multi-disc pack (5 friction / 5 steel) delivers ~67% more torque holding vs. typical single-disc.
  • Billet Apply Piston — rigid, stable apply across the clutch pack at elevated pressures.
  • Billet Clutch Hub — supports the increased clutch count and reduces spline/tooth wear.
  • OEM-Style Damper & Captured Clutch — keeps factory-like engagement and reduces NVH/harshness.

Why It Matters on AS69RC

The Aisin’s lockup clutch is asked to hold big torque at low RPM while towing. A single-disc can slip, creating heat and early wear. The ProForce 10D’s multi-disc surface area spreads the load, reducing slip and heat generation. The thicker billet cover and billet piston keep the apply flat and repeatable, so you get confident lockup without shudder.

Best-Practice Install Notes
  • Flush or replace the cooler and lines to protect the new converter from debris.

  • Confirm converter depth & engagement before mating the transmission.
  • Complete a thorough road test and temperature check after install.

FAQ

Will it feel harsh like some multi-disc converters?
No—BD retains the OEM damper and captured clutch design to keep engagement smooth while holding more torque.

Is tuning required?
No tuning is required for the converter itself. Ensure the transmission and engine are up to date on factory strategies.

Is this only for modified engines?
It’s ideal for both stock and modified 6.7L trucks that see heavy hauling, frequent lockup, or elevated apply pressures.
