Look at the 47RE category here - 46RE is included with it - https://gopnh.com/Dodge-Transmissions

 

I found this one from your link. It seems to be the only one in the year of this Dodge.

1996 - 2023 Dodge Torque Converter (46RE, 47RE, 47RH, A518 Transmissions)

Just trying to get all the information needed together when it comes time to buy my parts. Thanks

 

It's best to call them to discuss and they can provide pricing on the phone. They will ask what stall speed you want and/or what your plans are for the vehicle (towing, racing, etc.). Sending them a core torque converter helps to keep the costs down, since there seems to be a shortage of cores in the torque converter industry.

 

Keep it in mind that this is my first time ever rebuilding a transmission. I have no clue as to stall speed. I will look into the transmission book I have and see if it can find some help with this build? As for my plan with the truck is more of a daily driver with some here and there pulling my boat. I would guess maybe 2,500 boat,motor and trailer. I do agree with calling them when it comes to getting the correct one. I plan on using old one for a core. Saves cash. lol

 

I drive my truck infrequently. Here in VA, if a vehicle is 25 years or older and you have another primary vehicle that's driven regularly, you can register it for antique tags and not be required to get the vehicle inspected. There are also limits on how much the antique vehicle can be legally driven. As such, I typically use my truck for hauling stuff or towing a car trailer. When I had my transmission rebuilt, I took it to a local rebuilder that I've known for years. He rebuilt and beefed up the transmission to handle the rigors of towing. This can be done by using parts out of the 47RE/48RE transmission (larger planetaries, larger drum with added clutches, aluminum vs. plastic pistons, thicker band strut, Transgo shift kit, deep transmission pan to hold added fluid for cooling, larger transmission cooler, etc.). After speaking with the folks at Precision New Hampton, they recommended setting the stall speed at 1200 RPM, since I primarily use the truck for hauling/towing. I sent them my old torque converter and they shipped me the replacement converter once the old core was received and inspected.

 

Thankfully, I don't of limited driving time here in FL. Thanks for the information. I'm going to approach this with as much information needed to do correct rebuild. The video I have is pretty clear on how to do it as well explains what to look for. I feel comfortable with the rebuild but more wanting to get the right parts/kit. A lot of it is talking your time and not rushing it. Making sure you remove and replace as intended. Thanks for the help guys.

 

Think of stall speed as where the converter "catches " (transfers power from the engine to the transmission). If the old converter is not contaminated and still working use it. A towing converter will drop the stall speed slightly from stock but if you rarely tow might just want to save the $ and use the stock one. Seems no one mentioned some of the upgrades from Sonnax such as the sure cure kit you may want to install. You can also look here for just about everything else.

 

Yes, the Sonnax Sure Cure kit was installed during my transmission rebuild - should be highly considered for every rebuild of this style of transmission - https://www.sonnax.com/parts/4466-the-sure-cure-kit

 

Thanks. Trying to understand and learn how to buy what you need is a true learning experience for me. It's hard to explain that you understand what to you need to do the rebuild it but not sure exact parts are best. I don't know the condition of the convertor but at the same time I want to to be a one time in and out so spending a few extra dollars for one isn't really a problem. Going the OE route really isn't a problems since the truck has pulled it in the past with no issues. Doing a little upgrade was more of a piece of mind thing and hopefully give it a longer life span. This truck will be passed down to our daughter what that time comes. Thanks Again

 

Thanks, I'm still trying to get all this figured out. Trying to keep things simple as possible. If that makes any sense? lol
