Would some employee at the Chrysler Tech Center be able to tell you
the average number of miles that 90% of torque converters exceed without failure (L90 value)
and the average number of miles that 50% of torque converters exceed without failure (L50 value)

My fuzzy memory is that somewhere in Ebugger’s magazine write up of the then new 4.7 V8 he mentions that the Tech Center assured him the 90% of the 4.7 V8s would live beyond a certain number of vehicle miles or engine hours.


Interesting, I am calling Chrysler tomorrow to ask them what they think as it has been two weeks now since it broke with no compensation or repair. I believe I will be on the phone for a few hours tomorrow... work


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
