Default 47RE in d-max

Anyone done this, or know what all needs to be done and where to get parts, or who makes them.

A. 47RE is SOOOO easy to build
B. Because of the nature of the beast the ally will never shift like I want it to shift, never.

I was thinking about the 47RH, but the output shafts are way weak on them because there is basically a hole drilled in them. But with an RH I would need NO electronics to go to it.

If you dont billet the output though, it leaves a good, in-expensive, easy to fix weak link. I would billet the input and intermediate, but not the output.

Look up Suncoast they have the 48RE that will work with the Duramax thats all Buck Runs after going through 40 Allisons.

Another one thats stronger you might want to look into is the older 747 They can be beefed up like crazy no electronics.

Anyone can make adapter plates.
