My '01 2500 V-10 4x4 47RE is slowly giving up the ghost. I need a new tranny and am trying to locate a reputable remanufacturer for a 47RE.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Any of your local shops have a reasonable reputation? Having it done locally becomes a godsend if there are issues.....

 

None. Anchorage, Alaska is a terrible place for tranny's.

 

I would say it's terrible most of the year. A few trans shops come up on google. Reputable?

 

Depending on how much you want to spend, if you want a transmission to swap out the one you have, you might want to consider a used transmission - if so, check car-part.com for salvage yards in your general area that may have one available. If you want to spend for a new transmission fully beefed up, you can opt for a MegaViper from these folks - https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/...-viper-series/

 

Certain it's toast? You don't describe what is wrong. Number of things that can be checked/corrected potentially w/out full rebuild if your issues are just shifting or erratic behavior. Servos/ pistons, governor, valve body, etc. Rigging a pressure gauge, following a diagnostic tree will point you in the right direction.
I rebuilt my 47RH last Christmas w/Sonnax parts. They used to have a pressure testing chart online.
If you are mechanical, detail oriented, the hardest part is pressing the OD clutch pack. If you are sure you need a rebuild shipped in, then one of the Cummins forums would be the place to research. 488 shares a trans with the Cummins, they build those things all the time. Plenty of decent WestCoast shops I'm sure. Nobody knows much about those transmissions on this forum.

 

Unfortunately this is most of the forum posts, No info.
