How much torque can I put to my 1500 transmission? I think its a 36H or something like that.


98' 1500 Tow Package 5.9l 360 4X4

Thanks!

 

It's a 46RE.

Found some information here: http://dodgeram.org/tech/transmission/4xrh.htm

No info on the 46 but the 47 is only rated for 450 lb/ft so the 46 would be less than that.

(Man, that seems low)

 

How lower do you think it would be?

Thanks for the info.

 

Any hard numbers would be pure speculation. I'm reading that the 46RH/E is an A518 which is a 727 (Torqueflite) with overdrive added. Considering that the 727 was put behind some of the most powerful muscle of it's era, I can't believe that it would rate THAT much less than the 47RH/E.

From the "Tell Me It Ain't So" file ... in 2002, Dodge replaced the 46RE with the 45RE in the 1/2-ton Rams?? They DOWNGRADED the tranny?? [>:]

 

So I should be alright if I run about 380 - 400 ftlbs? That's my current aim.

 

Can't see why not ... keep it cool (aftermarket cooler) and stick to (increase?) scheduled maintenance ... just to be sure.
