Description
Product Overview
The BD Diesel Performance Automatic Transmissions 1064224SS is a performance-focused automatic transmission designed to transfer power from high-torque modified diesel engines. Built for compatible Mopar applications, this transmission is intended for buyers who need more strength, holding capacity, and reliability than a basic stock replacement unit.
This transmission is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number 1064224SS, Summit Racing Part Number BDD-1064224SS, and UPC 990011409889. These identifiers help diesel truck owners, mechanics, fleet service teams, towing operators, repair shops, service departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct transmission before purchase.
The transmission features a 6-speed configuration, Mopar bellhousing bolt pattern, forward shift pattern, and automatic valve body. It is listed with a 500 advertised horsepower rating, making it a strong option for compatible diesel trucks that require improved transmission capability for power, towing, hauling, or heavy-duty use.
This unit includes the torque converter and is listed with a stock advertised flash stall rating. It is also lockup compatible, supporting proper converter lockup function in compatible applications.
The transmission uses a deep aluminum pan with a black finish, an OEM-style aluminum case with a black finish, and a steel input shaft. These are important drivetrain specifications for buyers confirming compatibility and installation requirements.
The flexplate is not included, the transmission controller is not included, the wiring harness is not included, the transmission cooler is not included, transmission fluid is not included, and the dipstick is not included, so buyers should confirm all supporting components before installation.
Fitment and Application Details
The BD Diesel Performance 1064224SS automatic transmission should be matched carefully to the intended Mopar diesel application before ordering. Automatic transmission fitment can vary by vehicle year, model, engine, drivetrain, factory transmission type, bellhousing pattern, torque converter setup, flexplate requirements, electronics, cooler routing, transmission mount, crossmember location, driveshaft/yoke setup, and fluid requirements.
Important fitment details to confirm include vehicle year, make, model, engine, drivetrain, original transmission code, Mopar bellhousing bolt pattern, torque converter compatibility, flexplate requirements, converter bolt pattern, crankshaft pilot fitment, transmission mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, yoke requirements, shift linkage, electronic connector compatibility, controller requirements, wiring harness requirements, lockup-control requirements, cooler line routing, fluid specifications, and installation hardware.
This transmission includes the torque converter, but the flexplate is not included. Buyers should confirm the correct flexplate for the engine, crankshaft, converter bolt pattern, and intended application.
The transmission controller is not included, and the wiring harness is not included. Buyers should confirm whether the original electronics can be used or whether additional control-related components are required.
The transmission cooler is not included, so buyers should plan the correct cooler setup separately, especially for towing, hauling, performance use, modified diesel power, or warm operating conditions.
For a complete installation, additional components may be required, including a flexplate, cooler, cooler lines, transmission fluid, dipstick, wiring or electronic components, sensors, transmission mount, crossmember hardware, driveshaft/yoke components, seals, and vehicle-specific installation parts.
Build Quality and Reliability
The BD Diesel Performance Automatic Transmissions 1064224SS is built for diesel applications where torque capacity, shift control, and internal holding strength matter. BD Diesel Performance automatic transmissions are designed to transfer power from high-torque modified diesel engines and support demanding truck use.
This transmission is remanufactured, but it is not positioned as a simple rebuilt factory transmission. It is custom-tailored for compatible modified diesel truck applications where stronger components and improved internal support are needed.
Key internal improvements include redesigned clutch packs with 50 percent more holding surface, helping improve clutch holding capacity under higher torque loads.
The transmission also features steel 6-pin planetary gear carriers, an important durability upgrade for high-load diesel applications.
New lube ports are added for high-load areas, helping support lubrication where the transmission experiences greater stress.
Shift strategies and pressure circuits are also modified to handle high-torque applications, making this unit suitable for compatible diesel trucks that need improved shift control and durability.
The included torque converter, deep aluminum pan, steel input shaft, and 500 advertised horsepower rating make this transmission a strong choice for diesel truck owners and installers looking for a serious drivetrain replacement.
What Makes This Transmission a Strong Choice

The 500 advertised horsepower rating gives this transmission strong buyer appeal for modified diesel trucks and demanding use.
The included torque converter adds value and helps provide a more complete transmission assembly for compatible applications.
The redesigned clutch packs with 50 percent more holding surface support improved holding strength under high-torque operation.
The steel 6-pin planetary gear carriers add durability in high-load areas.
The added lube ports help support lubrication in critical areas under demanding use.
The modified shift strategies and pressure circuits are designed for high-torque diesel applications.
The deep black aluminum pan, steel input shaft, lockup compatibility, and OEM-style aluminum case give buyers important drivetrain specifications for fitment and performance planning.
Ideal Buyers and Use Cases
The BD Diesel Performance Automatic Transmissions 1064224SS is ideal for Mopar diesel truck owners, mechanics, towing operators, fleet service teams, repair shops, diesel performance builders, maintenance departments, service departments, and drivetrain specialists who need a stronger 6-speed automatic transmission.
It is suitable for compatible Mopar diesel applications requiring a 500HP-rated automatic transmission, included torque converter, lockup compatibility, deep aluminum pan, steel input shaft, and enhanced internal clutch and planetary support.
This product is useful for diesel trucks used for towing, hauling, modified-power driving, fleet work, heavy-duty street use, long-distance driving, or performance-focused diesel applications where factory transmission capacity may not be enough.
It is also a practical choice for professional installers confirming required supporting components such as the flexplate, cooler, cooler lines, transmission fluid, dipstick, wiring, sensors, transmission mount, driveshaft connection, and installation hardware.
The best buyer for this transmission is someone who can confirm the Mopar application, original transmission details, engine setup, drivetrain, electronics, and required supporting components before ordering.
