Ya I don't think I will. Cause I plan on doing a little muddin' and huntin' and such. I was just saying I might cause I still have some custom paint left..

 

difinate good buy, i paid 2500 for my d-250 auto. and i would also like to say thanks for your service. i think sometimes people forget to let our men over seas that we really do appreciate them

 

Awesome. And thank you, appreciate the friendly words, I like being in as of now. Got a lot of good men and woman in the service.

 

t-bone- you beat me to it but first i would like to say i appreciate what you do for our freedom and everything you guys do for out country! and second of all that is a great buy will last you a life time!! head gasket job shouldnt be to bad just send the head out to get milled and make sure it will be a clean fit when you reassemble it, or you will risk having a leak from it again.

 

Thank you! Support always keeps us going. But all is well. Ya I had planned on buying a fresh head for some 400 bucks I can get one loaded. Head gasket job is to easy. I'll be getting all cummins gaskets and just using stock bolts.

 

Stupid noob question.. I did a little searching on and couldn't really find a whole lot. But will the 48re work on a first gen? Any benefit if so?

 

Second gen or later trans will require second gen engine plate and starter and probably flex plate. The "e" makes it electronic so u would need a PCM and some fancy wiring to make it work. If I were going to do such a swap I'd start with a 47rh. The "h" makes it hydraulic so Ur current PCM will still control OD and u can just use a lockup switch to control the converter or buy a universal kit from someplace like patc or even build the kit urself.
The first digit is the number of speeds (4)
The second digit represents the torque rating (7or8)
The third digit represents the orientation (r is rear wheel drive)
The fourth digit as I said is for hydraulic or electronic control.

Basically with the right parts a 47 can be turned into a 48 so could essentially have a 48rh wich would be great in a truck like urs

 

Sweet! thanks for all the info. That's all I needed haha.

 

Is the ABS system on these trucks worth keeping? I'm thinking about doing a disc swap in the rear..

 

nice truck man im in Bahrain and picked mine up months before i left, i havent even driven it more than 1000k miles, i plan on putting $1600 into the engine by july in hopes to have a beast to come home to hahaha good luck with urs bro, and blocks are nothing to turn your nose up at....these dodges came with blocks from the factory.
