About This Product

This no-compromise flexplate delivers factory Aisin flexplate fitment alongside the premium benefits found on our entire billet flexplate lineup. Unlike typical aftermarket Dodge dual-pattern flexplates designed to span both the 68RFE and AS69RC, this plate retains stock torque converter offset for optimal pump engagement. Every BD Aisin flexplate is built for extreme performance, featuring twice the material thickness of a stock plate for increased strength, corrosion-resistant black-oxide coating, and SFI 29.3 certification for race applications. BD flexplates are proven to handle up to 3500 Ib-ft. The BD Aisin flexplate is a direct bolt-in replacement for the stock unit, making it an ideal companion for aftermarket torque converters, including our own Aisin Proforce 10D. It is the perfect upgrade for racing, towing, or daily driving!

What truck models and transmissions does the BD Diesel 1041223 flexplate fit?

This billet flexplate fits 2013–2018 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Cummins turbo diesel and the Aisin AS69RC 6-speed automatic transmission. It does not fit trucks equipped with the 68RFE transmission or manual gearboxes. — • Application: 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 Cab & Chassis and pickup models • Engine: 6.7L Cummins inline-six turbo diesel • Transmission: Aisin AS69RC heavy-duty 6-speed automatic only • Part Number: BD Diesel 1041223 • Chassis Compatibility: Direct bolt-in replacement for factory dual-rear-wheel (DRW) or single-rear-wheel (SRW) commercial haulers, hotshot rigs, and heavy-duty tow platforms running the AS69RC • Incompatibility: Not compatible with Chrysler 68RFE automatic transmissions, which utilize different bolt circle diameters and converter spacing

Why shouldn't I use a dual-pattern aftermarket flexplate on my Aisin AS69RC?

Generic aftermarket flexplates use compromised "dual-pattern" designs to fit both 68RFE and AS69RC transmissions, which alters converter offset and leads to pump wear. BD Diesel engineered part 1041223 specifically for the Aisin AS69RC to retain exact factory converter offset and full front pump engagement. — • Eliminates Generic Compromises: Standard aftermarket multi-drilled plates alter torque converter spacing, resulting in partial pump gear engagement, premature front pump failure, and erratic hydraulic line pressure. • Precision Aisin Geometry: Matches exact OEM Aisin bolt hole diameters, bolt circle diameter (BCD), and axial offset dimensions. • Direct Bolt-in Fitment: Eliminates guesswork or custom spacing during installation when bolting up to factory or aftermarket converters. • Converter Compatibility: Engineered to bolt directly to stock OEM converters as well as heavy-duty upgrades like the BD ProForce 10D Aisin torque converter. • Vibration Reduction: Precision-balanced after machining to eliminate harmonic resonance and safeguard the 6.7L Cummins crankshaft and AS69RC front pump bushing.

What is the maximum torque rating and construction material of the 1041223 flexplate?

The flexplate is rated to handle up to 2,000 lb-ft of torque on its own. When paired with the BD Slip Eliminator shim kit, its holding capability increases up to 3,500 lb-ft. — • Standalone Torque Rating: 2,000 lb-ft of torque capacity straight out of the box. • Maximum Upgraded Rating: Up to 3,500 lb-ft of torque when installed alongside the BD Slip Eliminator shim kit. • Heavy-Duty Material: Machined from forged billet steel featuring twice (2x) the structural thickness of the factory stamped-steel flexplate. • Fatigue Prevention: Thick-plate billet construction eliminates radial cracking, center hub separation, and ring gear deflection under high-load towing, heavy commercial payloads, or aggressive torque-converter lockup tuning. • Surface Protection: Finished in an industrial black-oxide coating to provide long-term resistance against rust, road brine, and environmental corrosion.

Is this Aisin AS69RC flexplate SFI certified for racing or competition use?

Yes, the BD Diesel 1041223 flexplate is fully certified under SFI specification 29.3. This makes it legal for sanctioned drag racing and truck pull competition events that mandate SFI-approved driveline safety gear. — • Sanctioning Spec: SFI 29.3 certified for high-stress competition applications. • Track Legality: Complies with safety regulations enforced by major sanctioning bodies (including NHRA and sled-pulling associations) requiring certified flexplates on high-torque diesel platforms. • Burst Protection: Machined billet construction prevents explosive structural failure under high-RPM shifts, boosted launches, and extreme cylinder pressures. • Recertification Compliance: Features permanent SFI manufacturing identification and certification labeling stamped directly into the plate.

What is the installation time and difficulty for the BD 1041223 flexplate?

Installation is rated at approximately 7 hours by a professional technician. Because the transmission and transfer case must be completely removed, a commercial vehicle lift and transmission jack are required. — • Estimated Install Time: Approximately 7 hours of shop labor. • Required Equipment: Heavy-duty transmission jack capable of supporting the large-case Aisin AS69RC (dry weight exceeds 350 lbs), vehicle lift or tall jack stands, Cummins barring tool, and calibrated foot-pound torque wrenches. • Prerequisites: Removal of the front and rear driveshafts, transfer case (on 4x4 models), crossmember, starter motor, cooler lines, torque converter bolts, and the bellhousing-to-engine bolts. • Bolt Replacement: Inspect factory flexplate-to-crankshaft bolts for stretch or wear, and always torque all crankshaft and torque converter fasteners in a multi-stage star pattern to factory Ram/Cummins OEM torque specifications. • Clean Mounting Surface: Ensure the 6.7L Cummins crankshaft mounting flange is thoroughly cleaned of rust, debris, and old threadlocker prior to setting the flexplate in place.

What warranty coverage comes with the BD AS69RC billet flexplate?

BD Diesel covers the 1041223 flexplate with a comprehensive 36-month (3-year) or 150,000-mile parts warranty, whichever comes first. — • Warranty Coverage: 36 months or 150,000 miles on parts. • Commercial & Towing Use: Coverage extends across standard street, heavy commercial haul, and high-performance towing applications. • Emissions Classification: Listed under EMS Code 4, meaning it is a purely mechanical driveline component that does not alter vehicle exhaust emissions and is 50-state legal. • Target Durability: Engineered as a permanent fix to replace fatigue-prone factory stamped plates during scheduled AS69RC rebuilds or torque converter swaps.
