i think its 287, but afaik dodge only made one, the 4.7 is the 4.7

if you are in doubt it should be on a sticker on the underside of your hood

 

I bought a 45RFE Tranny for $275.00 including shipping that had 39k miles on it. The transmission shop installed the tranny added a auillary cooler and flushed the system for $640.00. So for 915.00 the problem has been corrected. Thanks to all for your input!

 

sorry that it cost you so much, but it could have been much worse and thanks for posting the solution

 

jds. where did you buy your transmission from?

 

mrwilliwizard,

I went to www.car-part.com and did a search for the tranny. I got the lowest mileage best price from Rogers Auto http://rogersautoparts.com/

I was wondering if anyone on here use Mobil1 synthetic transmission fluid. I just switched to Mobil1 full synthetic oil and I was wanting to change all my fluids to Mobil1 synthetic. I just didn't know if anyone has used the transmission fluid from them.

 

http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/...hetic_ATF.aspx is not compatible to ATF+4 composition. That said, do not use it.

 

I just seen that valvoline has an ATF+4 full synthetic trans oil for chrysler's. There is also a castrol ATF+4 synthetic. Which product do you think is better or is it basically just whichever brand you prefer more?

 

Valvoline is registered and it is a Hydro-Cracked Fully Synthetic base. It's better than regular conventional but not a POA base. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/1st-gen...f-4-facts.html

Both are certified and approved establishments so you are good to use either.


Castrol ATF+4 synthetic uses a "highly refined Base oil" which they aren't telling us what it is like Valvoline does but I would suggest that it is a Hydro-Cracked base stock but without them actually listing the base oil I lean more towards Valvoline. I don't like it when firms don't fully disclose what they are selling you.

IHMO, I would use Mopar atf+4 tranny oil w/ factory filters.
