I just bought a 99 durango SLT. It's 2 wheel drive with a 5.9L V8.
I really need to know what other vehicles I can get the 46RE out of.
If that is the right transmission for it!! Could I use one from a ram or a Dakota or do i have to stick with the Durango? And does it matter if the one i buy comes out of a 4*4? I AM VERY CONFUSED!!
Any answers will be truly appreciated

 

i don't know much about durangos, but your 99 is a 46RE. you'll need a 2wd, because the 4wd has a different tailshaft. you'll need to stick with whatever years have the proper electrical connector. on the ram trucks, there is some variation between older years (96-97) and later years (00-01), so be careful of this. i believe you can use one from the dak, durango, ram, or ram van. it can also come out of a 5.2 or 5.9, but i think the flexplate is different, so stick with your original.

double check your electrical connector and overall length. if you miss either of these you're hosed.

 

dhvaughan has pretty much hit the nail on the head there for you any 46 from a dakota or durango should work (keep it 97+ for the new computers/electrical connections)

 

Thank You soo much! i ended up finding a 46RE that came out of the exact same truck!

 

Nice!


The 46RE was in the Dur/Dak on the 5.9L 97+ as Sharps said.

 

how much did you get it for ?
good luck with the swap and post some pics. we really like pics.
