why are these transmissions bad?
216k miles on the original transmission and still going strong (knock on wood). I have mine serviced about every 2 years or about 14k miles. I wonder why mines lasted so long. I'm not sure if its the 46 or the 47re. would that make a difference. I bought the truck for towing and the dealer said it had a hd transmission so idk, i thought he was bullsh*tn me.
If you have a 1500 it has a 46 unless someone replaced it along the line.
My trans only crapped out when I burned up the torque converter trying to dig myself out of a mud hole and then installed a supercharger @ 6lbs. Thats a lot of
abuse on the stock unit. If it wasn't for those things I think it would have lasted quite a long time.

Mine left me stranded on the side of the road at around 127k miles

But I did overheat it really bad once (a few years prior to failure).
