Default 46rh o/d solenoid

is this what i need to replace it? my o/d off hasn't worked since i swapped the tranny. just curious if this is what i need to replace the solenoid? http://www.transmissionpartsusa.com/...-00053392b.htm

EDIT: was also looking at the wiring going into the transmission on the drivers side, and noticed that one of the coolant lines had a sensor port in it. just curious what that is...i know its got to have something to do with operation, just curious.

What year truck did you get your trans out of?

External sensor is a temp sensor. You must have the tow package, or heavy duty package.

i know its a temp sensor, just didnt know what it was used for as far as operation of the transmission, because i dont have a trans temp gauge in my truck. lol i dont think i have the tow package or h/d package either lol. weird.

not sure what year. its a completely re-manufactured Dr. Evil. Pretty much brand new(it doesnt look new now lol) my truck is a 1995, and its an RH. i might be able to find a serial number or something, but not sure. are you mainly looking for a year so that you know what prong plug it has?

So you have or had a dr evil tranny and it has not worked since day one? I'd call them, or should I say, I would have called them the day I installed it and didn't work properly. That aside. Look on the PATC website about 2/3 the the way down. You will see the OD solenoid for a 95. http://www.transmissioncenter.net/dodge.htm

This may or may not help....when i swapped my transfer case it was out of a 98...when i put it back together and had no od..turns out the speed senser needed to be twisted to match the number of teeth...loosened it. Spun the sensor a bit and boom my od was back
