Goin to the junkyard, what tranny's are interchangeable and what years? I have a 95 5.9 4wheel drive with the 46 trans
If you want another auto., you're pretty much stuck with getting a '94 or '95 46RH. The 46RE's bolt up, but the electronics are so different, forget it.
Best to get a RH and rebuild it to make sure you're not putting JY junk in it.
I am going to have this one rebuilt but I still need the truck to get back to and from in the meantime. There is a guy in Jasper indiana that rebuild the ram granny's specifically he charges 400 labor plus parts. I priced a new one at 1900. Either way it will be a few paychecks before either option is possible so I will swap out with a junkyard one for 100 bucks. Thanks for everything guys
I understand that the 46re is not comparable, is the 47rh? If so what are the differences?
Most of the internal parts interchange between the 46RH and 46RE. You can put a lot of the 47RH parts in it to give you a stouter trans. when you rebuild. Read MonteC's trans thread stickied at the top of the forum, it'll give you more info than you can possibly use. Page 6 has a parts list for building a tough 46RE trans. Probably be best to call Wittrans to make sure on the interchangeability before ordering if you decide to go that route.
If you only want a stock rebuild, it will work. (for certain values of 'work'.) You would be better off spending a bit more on a better quality kit that had some upgrades as well. And do NOT skimp on the torque converter.
