BD’s 6R140 flexplate for 2011–2019 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke trucks is CNC‑machined from quench‑and‑tempered steel that is 1.5x thicker than stock and balanced tighter than OE spec for smoother operation. It’s designed for trucks running a 6‑bolt torque converter and is proven for everything from stock daily driving to towing and performance builds.
CNC‑machined one‑piece billet plate with integrated counterweight for superior stability.
Manufactured from quench‑and‑tempered steel with 100,000 psi yield strength for added durability.
1.5x thicker than stock to resist cracking and flex under high torque loads.
Black oxide coated to help resist corrosion in harsh environments.
Balanced in‑house to tighter‑than‑OE tolerances to reduce vibration and driveline stress.
Direct bolt‑in replacement that fits OEM and aftermarket 6‑bolt torque converters.
Suitable for racing, towing, or stock use on 2011–2019 6.7L Power Stroke with 6R140 transmission.
This BD 6R140 flexplate (part number 1041245) is engineered specifically for 2011–2019 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke trucks equipped with a 6‑bolt converter, improving strength and reliability where the factory plate can be a known weak point under heavy load or added power. The plate is machined from quench‑and‑tempered steel with a 100,000 psi yield strength and is around 1.5x thicker than stock, which helps control flexing and reduces the risk of cracking around the crank or converter bolt area.
BD machines an integrated counterweight into the flexplate and then balances it to tighter‑than‑OE tolerances, which helps deliver smoother operation and reduced drivetrain vibration at highway speed or under tow. The black oxide coating provides an extra layer of corrosion resistance, useful for trucks that see winter roads, jobsite mud, or frequent trailer duty. This plate is a direct, bolt‑in replacement that fits both OEM and aftermarket 6‑bolt torque converters, and it is priced so it can be sensibly added any time you’re doing a converter or transmission swap.
Fits 2011–2019 Ford 6.7L Power Stroke with 6R140 transmission and 6‑bolt converter only.
Does not fit early 2011 trucks originally equipped with an 8‑bolt converter unless updated to a 6‑bolt converter system.
Install time is about 7.5 hours, so professional installation is recommended.

Cracked or broken OE flexplate, often accompanied by rattling noises or no‑start conditions.
Converter bolt or ring gear issues traced back to plate flex or imbalance.
Driveline vibration at idle or under load after power adders or heavy towing.
Preventive upgrade when installing a performance converter or doing a transmission build on a tuned truck.
Will this fit my early 2011 Power Stroke?
It fits trucks equipped with the 6‑bolt converter; early 2011 models that have an 8‑bolt converter must be updated to a 6‑bolt converter for this flexplate to work.
Can I use this with an aftermarket converter?
Yes, BD specifies it will fit any OEM or aftermarket 6‑bolt torque converter designed for the 6R140 transmission.
Is this overkill for a stock truck?
No, BD notes it is great for racing, towing, or stock use; many owners install it proactively during a converter or transmission swap for added reliability.
How strong is it compared to stock?
The plate is 1.5x thicker than the factory unit and made from 100,000 psi yield strength steel, giving significantly higher resistance to flex and cracking under high torque.
