Default Tranny replacement

Is it cheaper to get my 47re rebuilt or to just get a new one and replace it?

it all depends on how what your plans are with the truck and if you have an experienced diesel transmission shop around.

A brand new one will be much more expensive than getting it rebuilt... Also as stated above it depends how much power you have/ plan to have

I'd say if thats all your gonna do to the truck performance wise then a good torque converter, and valve body should be enough for you.
