Well I've heard people say that dodge 46re transmissions aren't very reliable and have to be rebuilt often, I've got almost 139,xxx on mine with no issues, so I wanna see what you guys think about your tranny. Be sure to include mileage and if you've had to rebuild it.

 

182K on the original. I think..... all depends on how you maintain it, and what you do with your truck. If you tow/haul a lot, don't expect it to live long. When rebuild time rolls around, you can do some upgrades to make it basically bulletproof though.... or, slam in a mega viper, and be done with it.

 

Y'all better start knocking on wood.

 

Deleting the check valve if you haven't already will extend its life. I got 136K on my original trans, but its not an auto.

 

170,000 miles on mine and I'm almost positive it's the original trans. A friend of mine had 330,000 miles on her 94 Ram with the original trans.

 

Want your tranny to last a while? Regular maintenance and check valve removal as stated. Install a bigger aftermarket cooler . And Install a tranny temp gauge. Being able to monitor the temp is a major plus.

 

159xxx on whatever rebuild I'm on.

Towing cattle trailers with 33's and 3.55 gears was never easy on the stocker trans.


But I've got a nice gooseneck hitch out of it.

 

Just hit 204k on mine. Only issue I have is if im on an incline, putting it into drive it shifts into gear from time to time a little rough but overall A okay.

 

Rebuilt at 170,000 miles and abused it many times. Got 50,000 on the rebuild and working great. Also been nicer since rebuild.

 

I had 201k on mine before the reverse went out. I also beat the crud out of it for the last 37k miles...
