O.E.M. = “Original Equipment Manufacturer”

In this video we looked at a Chrysler 585 converter, which you find in a Dodge Caravan & Chrysler Town & Country, which contains a 604 transmission

The most common issue you see with an OEM 585Y converter is the piston metal is too thin, which results in flexing. When flexing occurs, it can cause the piston body to drag on the converter lid surface and also cause non lock-up.

How do we fix these problems?

In order to stop flexing of the piston metal, DACCO performs a bridge weld from the spring casing to the piston body. This provides enough reinforcement to keep it from flexing so there’s no lid drag and non lock-up. This process is performed on 100% of this style piston.

These are just some of the ways DACCO is making OEM converters better.
