Description

Product Overview

The BD Diesel Performance Plus Automatic Transmissions 1064744BM is designed for compatible Chevy diesel applications where towing strength, high-power support, and drivetrain durability are important. As part of the BD Diesel Performance Plus Automatic Transmissions line, this unit combines the BD Performance transmission with a torque converter and heavy-duty transmission features suited for demanding diesel use.

This transmission is identified by Manufacturer’s Part Number 1064744BM, Summit Racing Part Number BDD-1064744BM, and UPC 990011407342. These identifiers help Chevy diesel truck owners, mechanics, towing operators, fleet service teams, repair shops, diesel performance builders, service departments, and drivetrain specialists confirm the correct BD Diesel transmission before ordering.

The transmission features a 5-speed configuration, Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern, forward shift pattern, and automatic valve body. It is designed for compatible Chevy diesel applications where stronger automatic transmission support is needed for towing, hauling, work-truck use, high-power street diesel driving, and long-distance service.

This unit includes the torque converter, and the notes specify a triple torque converter. It is also listed with a stock advertised flash stall rating, making converter fitment and application confirmation important before purchase.

The transmission has a billet input shaft, which supports improved drivetrain durability under rapid throttle and high-horsepower use. It is also lockup compatible, helping support converter lockup function when properly installed and configured.

The transmission uses a deep aluminum pan, steel input shaft material, and an OEM-style aluminum case with a natural finish. Performance Plus features may also include increased line pressure, clutch-count changes by model, a BD aluminum heavy-duty transmission pan with increased oil capacity, and a magnetic drain plug, depending on the exact model ordered.

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 Plus 1064744BM automatic transmission should be matched carefully to the intended Chevy diesel application before ordering. Automatic transmission fitment can vary by vehicle year, make, model, engine size, original transmission type, drivetrain, electronics, torque converter setup, flexplate requirements, cooler routing, transmission mount, crossmember position, driveshaft/yoke setup, and fluid requirements.

Important fitment details to confirm include vehicle year, make, model, engine size, engine code, drivetrain configuration, original transmission family, Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern, torque converter compatibility, triple torque converter setup, flexplate compatibility, converter bolt pattern, crankshaft pilot fitment, controller requirements, wiring harness requirements, electronic connector compatibility, lockup-control setup, transmission mount location, crossmember position, driveshaft length, yoke requirements, cooler line routing, transmission cooler requirements, fluid specifications, dipstick setup, and installation hardware.

The torque converter is included, and the notes specify a triple torque converter. Buyers should still confirm converter compatibility with the engine, crankshaft, flexplate, vehicle application, and intended use.

The flexplate is not included, so buyers should confirm the correct flexplate for the engine, crankshaft, converter bolt pattern, and application.

The transmission controller and wiring harness are not included, so buyers should verify whether the original vehicle electronics can be used or whether additional control-related components are required.

The transmission cooler is not included, so a proper cooling setup should be planned for towing, hauling, high-power diesel use, fleet work, and heavy-duty driving.

For a complete installation, additional components may be required, including a flexplate, transmission controller, wiring harness, transmission cooler, cooler lines, transmission fluid, dipstick, sensors, mounts, crossmember hardware, driveshaft/yoke components, seals, wiring accessories, and vehicle-specific installation hardware.
