The 47, and 48 transmission had a different bellhousing bolt pattern. They would only bolt up to the diesel, or V-10 motors. My 98 (with the V-10) has the 47 behind it. No problems with it so far, though I DO need to replace my electronics. It gets stupid once in a while.

Ahh gotcha, that makes sense then. I was thinking about the Cummins, but I really didn't want a turbo powered truck. The 8.0 would just be to awful around where I'm at with the mileage, I'd probably get like 5mpg around where I'm at.

Someone else makes it for Jegs. Jegs is just the reseller.

Clean the underside and spray it down with Fluid Film, or equivalent... Will help alot with retarding the salts and brine.
