We all know that dodge trucks have poor transmissions. I was thinking if a 727 Torque flight would fit as a replacement in lets say a 2001 2wd Dodge ram.....My last truck was a chevy and chevys 700r4 has a junk cooling system just like the 46RE So I pulled it and dropped in a Th350 granted I lost over drive but gained a strong tanni.

I'm not to sure about what swaps would work. I think most of us just have the 46RE be built. They seem to be fairly strong if built right.

 

I got 150k out of my stock 46RE before rebuild. Further, I rebuilt it myself (cause it was a simple design).

Granted I don't go off-road, but still, 150k miles is VERY VERY good!

 

For roughly the price of a 727 rebuilt, you can have your 46RE rebuilt. Luckily this POS err, i mean transmission has been arond for a bit. Hence, knowledge of them is common, as well as the proper fixes and rebuild parts to make them reliable and almost bulletproof.

 

dumb question, but my trans was replaced before i bought it (at 182K). its typical for it to have the 46RE right? 95 1500 SLT laramine 5.9 4x4?


also how easy are we talking to rebuild these? how much does the tranny weight approx?

 

Can't answer the second question, 95RAM360, but I can the first.

Any 1996 or later Dodge 1500 with the 5.2L V8 or 5.9L V8 and auto transmission has the 46RE.

 

98=47re

 

so whats 95?

 

46RH hydraulic controls for OD and lockup.

 

there is a slight difference in the valve bodies between the older 46re trannies and the 2001 valve body....after i replaced my original transmission with a jasper and used up the warranty, i had a buddy help me install a trans go shift kit in it. come to find out, jasper installed a valve body from a 97 ram. not too happy with that. i am not sure what is all different about the valve bodies other than what my buddy told me, which was that the programming was different.
