Overview
The Bd Diesel 1041260 is a forged billet black flex plate, part number BDD1041260, made for modern diesel engines with higher power output. Billet construction is intended to handle the load that rising power places on the flexplate.
No engine or vehicle is named for this flex plate, so the application has to be confirmed before ordering.
Key features
- Forged billet construction
- Black finish
- Built for the power output of today’s most powerful diesel engines
- Part number BDD1041260
Before a flexplate swap
The flexplate sits between the engine crankshaft and the torque converter or clutch, so it transfers all of the engine’s output into the drivetrain. Because of that load, it is worth inspecting the crankshaft mounting surface and the converter hub at the same time. Any runout or wear in those areas can cause vibration or premature failure of the new plate.
Replacing the flexplate usually means removing the transmission, so it is a good time to check related parts. The crank seal, pilot area and bolt holes are common places to look for leaks or damage. Using the correct bolts with the right thread locking and torque sequence keeps the new plate secure once the engine is running under load.
