When the factory stamped out a flex plate for your 03-07 Ford equipped with a 5R110 and the 6.0L Powerstroke, reliability was a concern for factory power levels and constructed for an expected life of ownership. But, some of us either love the past, or can't let go of it, so we take extra care for our trucks. Where a thinner stamped material is prone to tearing, and eventual failure, CNC Fabrication stamped a replacement flex plate out of thicker material with precision balancing to ensure factory or slightly modified trucks can benefit from long term factory like experience and longevity.
