5.2 vs 5.9 GAS Transmission difference
#31
As the originator of this thread I can sucessfully say that a transmission for a 5.2 will work in a 5.9 truck. Both transmissions came out of a 98 ram 4X4. I did not remove the flex plate from the engine so can't say for sure if those interchange but the tranny with the touque converter do swap. The dealership told me that the final drive ratio may be different but I did not notice a change in the speedometer.

Just curious here, but I would assume the 360 has a lower stall converter since the torque comes in sooner on them???
BTW, the 5.9 Cummins is 359ci, any manual that says otherwise is wrong. Granted that is a trivial thing to have wrong...

My service manual does not mention different converters for 1994 A518s but it does say they should stall between 1900-2100 RPM. Are they actually different converters (same k factor i believe it is called) or do they just stall at different RPMs because of the greater torque of the 5.9L?

Ok I could use a little help here, trying to do the overdrive swap on my 72 B300 Maxi and am picking up a 46rh later today for a steal but it's off a 95 318 (which I now thanks to this forum understand the motor was internally balanced and the torque converter is not weighted) and am hoping to hook it up to a 72 360 (externally balanced) These are before the flex plate balancing, would I be able to use it? Would the stall speed be a prob? Or the weight of a full frame one ton van?
