Are 47RE and 47RH interchangeable?
Joe G. said: The difference between the transmissions is the governor. A 47RH governor will not fit in a 47RE transmission so even if you can swap the VB the transmission won’t shift.
What is the difference between 47RE and 47RH?
The fundamental difference between the 47RH and 47RE is in the governor pressure control. Both units rely on a hydraulic valve body and electronically controlled overdrive unit. However, the governor pressure on the “RH” is hydraulically controlled, while the governor pressure on the “RE” is electronically controlled.
What is the difference between a 47RE and a 48RE transmission?
47RE: An electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission found in ’96 to ’02 Dodge trucks, as well as some ’03 models. 48RE: An electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission found in ’03 to’07 Dodges.
Is the 47RH a good transmission?
The 47RH is a solid piece, and that reliability extends to the later 47RE and 48RE models found in ’96-’07 Dodges. With a factory power rating of 160 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque, the Dodge four-speeds have to be fairly strong, not for the horsepower rating, but rather the torque.
How much power can a 47RE handle?
A stock 47RE will only safely handle 100psi of fluid pressure, while a Racing Valve body from Power Driven Diesel can handle 225 to 250psi, and thus more than 1,200 horsepower output.
Is the 47RE a bad transmission?
The 47RE transmission in these trucks is not a favored transmission among Cummins owners. Some of the most common problems with this transmission involve being stuck in a gear, failure of the torque converter to lock, or hard shifts. The 47RE uses bands to shift gears as opposed to clutch packs.
Is the 48RE better than the 47RE?
48RE case is stronger in places where it likes to break. Planetaries are all 6 pinion steel so that helps a lot. Pump is larger and flows more fluid. If you don’t thrash it a tweaked 47RE will work just fine with that power level.
How long will a built 47RE last?
In fact, it is exceedingly probable that your factory 47RE or 48RE will not survive much more than the first 100,000 to 150,000 miles of its life, depending on your use and maintenance. In short, this is a transmission that was built to suffice the warranty period of the vehicle, and not much more.
How much horsepower can a 47RE transmission handle?
Are 47RE and 48RE interchangeable?
And the valve bodies are interchangeable. One thing that was a pain was there was a little adapter that needed to be used to get the 48re to work in my truck.
How much power can a stock NV4500 handle?
Registered. The NV4500 will not hold up to steady towing even if you limit it’s input to less than 300HP. If you limit application of power to everything but 4th it should hold up pretty well.
