M1009 torque converter

[rider080]

Hello everyone.
I`m newbie on this forum.
I tried search but found no answer to my question.
I have 1985 CUCV M1009, and trying to order proper torque converter for my vehicle.
Which bolt pattern torque converter is on my vehicle 11.5 or 10.75?
And which stall speed is recommended for daily drive and fuel economy.
Thank you in advance.

The GM part number is GM 8656942. It is a discontinued item.

Here is a link with some info that may help.

Yes i saw this thread, and i have this number too but no result.
Had contact to thousands of stores, this part is discontinued .
Trying to order from summitracing but don`t know my vehicle`s bolt pattern.

I googled th400 diesel torque converter and found a couple of interesting links.

Correct torque converter???

I found one NOS on Ebay part# 8642992 seller says that this is probably from 6.2

Just checked the M1009 converter. It is a 11.5", 6 bolt unit. According to other site it should be around 1700rpm stall speed.

Here is a website that may ship internationally.

Looks like your ebay converter should work also.

Great thanks!!!
Yes i sent them email yesterday and they replied to me:

Yes...We have a torque converter for 6.2 diesel and THM 400 trans. It is a GM-6LS. It is listed in "Diesel Converters" under "GM". The price is $85.00 and a refundable core charge of $25.00. I dont know what a cuvc m1009 is..Larry.

Ebay item 280687166567 already ended, it was good deal

Second question is what is official stock stall speed for m1009?
Or what is the best stall range for road use and fuel economy?
