Looking to get the 2nd gen flex plate new...
Just was wondering if anyone has a online parts source for CTD parts...
I'm planning on putting some money into my transmission. I'm going to bump up the power to around 250 whp...
1. SunCoast TC
2. SunCoast Billet Flexplate (or 2nd gen flexplate to save a little money)
3. Transgo shift kit.

I just got a second gen flex plate from my local cummins dealer for 200cd. The dealer wanted over 500. Also with mods youve made you need a fuel pressure gauge and upgraded LP before you take out the Ip. Just a heads up

Check your fuel pressure, the best thing you could do is install a fuel pressure gauge. With the 366 spring and the fuel pin, when you start playing with the fuel scew the stock LP will have trouble keeping up especially if it's original. Not trying to scare you. I learned the hard way the my LP was bad and lost the IP. That was with stock injectors.

This is a must with the high torque Cummins in conjunction with a better designed torque converter that can transfer the torque with no slip. The flex plate is bolted to the crank shaft, then the converter is bolted to flex plate. The torque from your Cummins is transfered to the flex plate, from the flex plate to the torque converter then to your input shaft in the trans. With increased torque from the engine and no slip out of the converter it can crack and/or rip the center out of a stock flex plate.
The Sun Coast billet flywheels are CNC machined from a forging for strength and reliefs are machined out between the converter mounting area and the crank flange to enable some flex. We designed our flexible billet flywheel with the understanding that it needs to flex but at the same time we added extra thickness to prevent cracking. We started with a better quality material and a better manufacturing process to make it stronger. Our flexible flywheel made or exceeded all the new SFI specification 29.3 requirements for materials, mechanical properties, design and rotational integrity.

This is what I was looking at...
if anyone knows the Cummins part number for a 2nd gen flexplate, that would be great.

(Possibly a bit overkill for 250hp).

In the cummins parts store they will ask for the engine number. i worked on a 98 ctd and wrote down the number. I will try and get it so you can just take that number in and get the flex plate for that motor. That was all I did.
