I have 94 Ram 5.2l with 46RH transmission. It was rebuilt and works great.
I am installing 5.9l from 96 Ram.
Do I keep the 5.9L flexplate (with all the weights) or will I have to install one from the 5.2l ?
There are some balancing weights on the 46RH torque converter.
Thx

 

ooops. wait a minute....

Use the flexplate from the 96. The weights on the torque converter are most likely to get a neutral balance......

 

Thanks.
I'm almost done with most of the upgrades.
I should be attaching motor and transmission soon.
This is just a little picture of the motor I painted Caterpillar color.
Its almost there

 

Nice!

 

Dang that looks great nice job

 

Thanks guys,
I'll make a whole post about it once I'm closer to be done
It's really turning out awesome. I've painted transmission and transfer case same color.
There is a lots of mods on this rig.
That was nuts and it looks great

 

96 flexplate wont bolt up to a 94 converter. You need to use your 94 5.2 flexplate and get a 94 5.9 converter. You're 94 5.2 converter you have now shouldn't have any weights on it. Maybe you lucked out and they gave you a 5.9 converter. Have a picture or part# of it?

 

You're right. I could not find a right pattern to bolt the two together.
However I found a weight on the side of the torque converter.
Stampings on the converter are
J785
2472
8377J
and a sticker with number 544OHS or 644OHS first character is hard to see.
Here are some pictures

So all I would need is a flex plate for 1994 5.9L, right?

 

That's a balance weight for the converter. I would bet that is neutral balance..... I suspect you are going to need to get a converter for a 5.9 as well. Might call around to the various parts stores\trans shops, and see if someone has one on the shelf that you can have a look at, and compare weights.

 

Yeah. Part number is
5440HS

and it is for 3.9 and 5.2, so I will need

for 5.9l and all should bolt in
I hope
