Yeah.
In some applications, I think they just started leaving that spring out altogether..... Still and all, if it started life with one, should put another one in there.

Part of me wishes I would have gone TH400 so I could run a 3.27 or 3.55 rear gear for better highway mileage, but as it stands with the glide I'm still getting 15 MPG on the highway at 3500 RPM. Plus we literally have enough spare parts to have a spare whole PG each for the dragster and I.... Just rebuilt the dragster one again after finding our hydraulic leak. Thanks, blower vibrations.

Thank you both so much for all your helpful suggestions !
The overdrive off junkyard one WORKS!!
My Main tranny is spared !
Spring replaced rear band adjusted too.
Smooth SHIFTING with REVERSE
Took a tad over 10qts!!
An those "auto-stealers" won't get my truck ..lol -your tranny needs a reabuild --..NOT...lol
THANKS AGAIN!!
[QUO2TE=Skreelink;3407384]I'm gonna say the whine was likely that snap ring being eaten by the OD unit with how mangled it is. I will say, your OD unit looks a lot better than mine did last year. Don't have to worry about that giant 800lb spring when you simply friction weld it down with the planetary gears.

If your rear band looks good and there's no other obvious damage in the front-side of the transmission. Adjust both bands and I would suggest grabbing an OD unit from a junkyard. You don't know the wear and tear on it, but as long as it's complete, it should get you through and answer if that was the solution. If so, begin a fund for a full rebuild in the nearish future. Make sure to clean a junkyard unit good. You SHOULD be able to use the OD from any RWD Ram/Dakota/Durango of similar year models. As I recall, the OD unit is exactly the same between the 42/44/46RE. The 42 is behind the 3.9, 44 behind the 5.2 (Dakota), and 46 behind 5.9 (Dakota, Ram, Durango), and a 46 behind the 5.2 in the Ram as well.[/QUOTE]
