Second gen flexplate??

Ive heard talk of using these in our trucks because they are stronger. If any of you have done this what is involved or do they just fit right in. Also what year? My understanding is the 94-98 fits. I having my trans done soon and would like to upgrade the flex plate.

Thanks

I just got a second gen flex plate, I am ordering a new tq converter today and will be installing them soon. Second gen flex plates are thicker than first gen's flex plates. They are bolt on's.

I would assume the crank bolts would be the same.... you wouldn't need longer ones? The second gen flex plate is not thick enough to effect that?

Thanks for your reply's
