That seems odd, there shouldn't be that much difference. Does the new trans have to adapter housing that goes between the trans and t-case? I could see a half inch different, but, not 4 plus inches difference. In all reality, there shouldn't be ANY differences between the two.

Nope. V-8's got the 46RE regardless of truck weight rating. Even the 3500's with the 5.9 gas engine got the 46RE. 47 Came behind the 8.0/diesel in heavier trucks, and later, the diesel got the 48RE.

it *should* bolt right up. Might have to wiggle it around to get the splines to engage properly...... just a bit of dirt in there can be a major pain.
