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!

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
