Heavy duty transmission swap

i was thinking on swapping out my transmission on my 96 1500 4x4 5.2 with a transmission from a 97 2500. I was thinking about doing this because i was going to get a great deal on the parts truck. I was wondering how the transmission would bolt up to my truck. I was hoping i could swap it with minimal hassle. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Pretty sure its an automatic but it says it has a rebuilt trans....and although the ad doesn't say it im pretty sure its a v10, does that make a difference?

If it's a V10 that probably throws a wrench in the mix, but I'm not 100% sure.
If it's an auto V10 it's got a 47RE, https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...do-i-have.html
Not sure those will mount up to a V8.

Dammit, Dodge Dude beat me to it!

assuming your 96 1500 is auto with a 5.2, its a 46RH.
you didn't say what the engine was in the 97, but if its a V8 5.9 gasser, like stewie said its just a plain old 46RH. the good news is it'll bolt in.
on the other hand, if its a V10 or 5.9 diesel, it'll be a 47RH. i think? it has a bigger case and won't bolt in.
