im getting ready to adjust the bands in my transmission. i think i have the 46re but i need to be totally 100% positive.. cant seem to find out for sure, the sticker in the glovebox says
4-speed auto. thats it. anyone know how to make sure what i have under there?

unrelated note:
also for rear diff it says anti-spin. is that lsd or ?...
not too up on this stuff im a engine guy.

 

you might be able to see the badge on the trans by getting under the truck.

yes, anti-spin means lsd.

 

just crawled out from under there and didnt see any badges, there were 2 bigazz barcode stickers with some numbers but nothing i could understand.

 

sounds like the 46re, especially since thats what was mated to the 5.9 mostly. basically, 2nd gen drive train. just like my ol 97 that always had tranny issues lol.

 

ya but i have to know for sure to adjust the bands, there is a 42re 44re 46re and 47re listed for 2000-2002 model year and the adjustments are different for each one.

 

you could request a build sheet.

 

does anyone know where the body code plate is? it has the tranny code on it i just cant find it.
i have a service manual and it says:
The Body Code Plate (Fig. 1) is located on the floor
pan under the passenger seat or attached to the front
face of the radiator closure panel.

looked under the seat and pulled the carpet up and everythign
not sure what the front face of radiator thing is, been looking round the engine .....

 

found it, its on the frame painted black hard to see..
i have the 46re. yay.
thanks guys!

 

alright, i just spent 5 hours driving around looking for an in/lb torque wrench.
ya right!!! what a bunch of bullshi*. not one shop/store/flea market/or anywhere between has one of these around my area.i drove over 100 miles today just looking for one. so... looks like im waiting about 2 weeks to get the one i ordered from harbor freight. was only $27 with shipping. the cheapest one i found today was a week wait and $170 from napa. i really dont need a digital in/lb torque wrench that i will only use to adjust my tranny!
ive lost all respect for auto parts stores.
also they dont seem to make square sockets anymore. and autozone doesn't even carry any sockets over 6-point. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
sorry for the rant but i am pissed.
