Replacing transmission
Hopefully gonna be installing my new (to me) transmission in my 2001 Ram 5.2 (2wd) this weekend and just wanted to see if there were any special considerations when putting it in. Anything need to be aligned or anything I need to pay special attention to? I read someplace that the oil pump needs to be primed. What is the procedure for that? The oil has been drained and the filter removed. I am not doing the work because of my back and joints (degenerative disc disease) but my buddy is. Any help would be appreciated.

first check that converter is far enough back. measure from the trans front to the converter drive lug, should be at least 1/2 inch back. this is VERY important. here is an EXTERANL filter, i found. have one on my 01 dak. my idea is when you put a new filter in side this one will help from having to do the inside one as often.*
the old auto zone 2210 magenfine filter is no longer available at auto zone. BUT i did find the same thing as JX-160 brand-- ATP. at a real parts house uses 3/8" tube. ONLY use high pressure hose. SAE J1019 217 psi working. NOT fuel hose for a carb engine.

most chrysler converters have 4 threaded drive lugs that bolt to the flex plate. it is a specl bolt, with short threads. some converter lugs may be off set. meaning the flex plate will match only one way. and some may have a 1/8 hole in the plate that matches a V stamped on the converter. all this info is from years back. newer trans might be different. but i only have a 1967 charger / coronet manual with me. but i have about 20 in my storage.

Be sure to check that the TC from the 5.9 will bolt to the flexplate on the 5.2. Hopefully someone can chime in that knows if they will bolt together..
