How can i save diesel on my 425 cat freight liner truck ?

actually this is a very good question to ask. A torque converter is a couple between the engine and transmission. it is responsible for converting the power from the engine to useable force for the transmission. basically its like this
A torque converter is modified form of a hydrodynamic fluid coupling, and like the fluid coupling, is used to transfer rotating power from a prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor, to a rotating driven load. As with the fluid coupling, the torque converter takes the place of a mechanical clutch. Unlike a fluid coupling, however, a torque converter is able to multiply torque when there is a substantial difference between input and output rotational speed, thus providing the equivalent of a reduction gear. the torque converter can have several differnt stall speeds depending on applications. they will differ between a stock built engine to a drag racing engine to help aid in the performance aspect and driveablility of the vehicle. I hope this helps a little.
