I have just bought a 94 with a 47rh, it has no reverse. im thinking i will rebuild trany my self since i have rebuilt several autos before. I plan on a billet converter and replacing bands and frictions. If anybody can give me advice on what else should be upgraded it would be appreciated. I plan on using truck for hauling trailers with turned up pump , but mostley stock. Im thinking about swaping for nv4500 but dont want to spend that much money.

 

I would swap for the Manual trans. it sounds like for what your doin that would be best. the automatic in that year dodge isnt all that great

 

if you do a good tc and put a valve body in there the tranny would do great, i would get some different selector steels so you can put an extra clutch and steel in each clutch pack, put the kevlar front band in, billet aluminum interminate servo and accumulator, also get the black high energy fricitons and thinner steels

they are actually a more popular tranny than the 47re but they are the same tranny, all the parts interchange except for the vb and the case, the case if different because the vb in the re has a 7 pin connector and the rh has a 3 pin connector

 

Valve body minimum... without a doubt

 

where is best place to purchase parts and which valve body do you recomend? Thank you for your help.

 

i would say call dtt, sun coast, etc for the valve body, as for the servo and accumulator sun coast has the best price on those, then i would go to dacco for all the frictions, steels, and seals

 

i have a 96 and my auto is junk it has been rebuilt 5 times now and i put a billet converter in it with valve body and just keep on burning it up and this all in two years im in the middle of getting parts for nv4500 swap

 

have you looked for an electrical problem? i went thru probally 4 tc's each only lasting maybe 2k before someone actually scanned my truck and found a grounding problem code, i wired up lock up and od on two switches and made a **** tc keep running for another 7k an tow and drive the **** out of my truck

which tc are you putting in there?

 

if you want to sell your billet converter, and valve body when your done with it let me know.
