Does anyone have any experience with these torque converters? Found it on eBay and can't figure out how to link it here. It says it is for dodge/jeep 545rfe HD fits the 5.7L which means it should fit in our crd correct?

If the torque converter you found on ebay is from Florida Torque Converter http://www.floridatorqueconverter.com/
I have ordered one from them but I havent installed it yet.

Yes it is. It is a reman unit that has been "upgraded" its' selling price of $109 + $46 shipping. If this is a true "hemi" converter it would be a great and inexpensive upgrade for our jeeps. For the sake of the rest of us please install it and give us honest feedback on it!

OEM-stock Hemi engine specs:

Torque (SAE net) 407 lb.-ft. (548 N•m) @ 3,950 rpm
Max. Engine Speed 5,800 rpm

Hemi TC\C is designed to withstand greater than stock engine output, so is likely rated ~500 lb.-ft.

Even if only rated to 407 lb.-ft., that's still greater than the 300 lb.-ft. rating of the oem factory-installed KJ version

And 7 ft.-lb. more than the EURO version
