Dam my dad has a wing named after him at Clemson. Huge fan and my brother went there also! I actually dropped dads ashes at Hartwell dam as per his wishes. He was on the design team for it.
I would call them and ask... I think this kit has both the crank and torque converter bolts... See if they sell the converter bolts separate if you don't need the crank bolts with it...
Mopar Performance 5/16 Flexplate Bolt Package
Tell them that they are missing the gear thingy....
I might have a used set from a slant if they are the same.
LOL 100 point guys!Tell them that they are missing the gear thingy....
@memike "She aint released it yet". "Her Eveready is a real live rabbit". I'll be here all week.
you might find this interesting... a few years ago they opened all of the flood gates at that dam at one time. This never happened before. Since it was near sunset the moisture in the air caused a horizontal rainbow across the lake. My brother ( professional photographer ) sold quite a few copies of his pictures. I might find a digital copy to share.

That would be cool I will send it to my step mother. Dad was a engineer and I am pretty sure that was his proudest project.
So is that the threads I need @krazykuda , just making sure, I do need the TQ converter bolts as well, I will take a closer look

Yes, those are the ones that you need to put the flex plate on the crank and the flex plate to the torque converter... The torque converter bolts should be 5/16" fine thread, and the crank I believe is 7/16" fine thread.... The torque converter bolts have a larger head on them than the standard 5/16" bolts to help distribute the load better....
Those are like the OEM ones, they also have some twelve point ones, but I prefer the factory style myself...

And the bolt heads are thinner aren't they?
Thank you, I never use old ones when doing something like this
I would call them and confirm that the kit has both the crank and torque converter bolts as the title says 5/16".... Ask them to look at the kit and see if it has both kinds of bolts or just one...
Sometimes they mess up titles or pictures when making up their web pages, so I would call them to confirm what comes in that bolt 'kit' to make sure it's got all the bolts that you are looking for...
Yes, just a bit, but not like the hex on the oil filter base thread where it is difficult to keep the socket from slipping off....
Thanks!
Make sure that you torque them properly with a torque wrench when you put them together... That way they won't come loose on you...
Yep, flex plate to crankshaft bolts are 7/16-20 and get torqued to 55 foot pounds...
The torque converter to flex plate bolts are 5/16-24 and get torqued to 270 inch pounds....
I just looked it up in my service manual....
