i know there are alot of issue with the dodge transmissions but i just love the room they have. but anyways. question is what kind of mods should be put into a rebuilt tranny? shift kit? what? my 97 dodge ram has a supercharger going onto it here in the next month or so. truck has only 72k miles on it but hauling my big goose necks and off road toys including my bb powered 4x4 chevy blazer and 5 quads is not very easy on a dodge 1500 truck but so far everything is going well. i just know the tranny is going to be going. what kinda build should be in the tranny built to stock? what kinda of upgrades are out the for the trans?

for the record the truck is a 97 dodge ram 1500 with 31's on 2 inch body lift.
5.9 magnum motor.

 

At least a torque converter, shift kit, high quality frictions, steels, bands, cast aluminum pan, huge tranny cooler, HD planitaries. More frictions, and steels in the clutches.

There are tons of upgrades for these trannies do some searches.

 

With supercharger I would say get billet parts to put in the tranny. Especially the front shaft and pump gears. You will be getting more torque with the supercharger so you want to build a tranny that will hold up to it. Extra clutches will also help.

 

what is the tranny? i was looking for 97 dodge ram 1500 tranny and was coming up empty handed and those billet parts can they be bought or they a special machined piece?

 

46RE, or A518. 46RH was 1994-1995, 46RE was 1996-2002. A518 is a "catch all" for 46RHs and 46REs.

That is, if you have the V8. V6 4x2s had the 42RH/RE.

 

any of you guys recommend a shop?
