Transmission & Transfer Case

I started with removing the OD section since this can be done in the truck. Remove the bolts and tap with a dead blow hammer to get the case started apart. Once it is started you can use a prybar or large screwdriver to seperate them farther. I took it apart with the pan still on so the parking pawl lever gave some resistance.     The next step I took was to remove the overdrive clutches. Remove the waved snap ring and the clu

Hey guys, Pepsi here with a write up that I got from the DT forums. I have streamlined and fixed it up made it look nice etic. and added stuff where I felt it was prudent. This is a general guide and should apply to the 46RE, 47RE, and 48 RE series of transmisisons.   Pepsi's Notes I am not the original author; however I have made modifications and additions as well to th

Central Axle Disconnect (CAD) System Troubleshooting 4WD dodge trucks from 94-early 02’ had a CAD system for the front axle. It messes up a lot so here is a rundown on how to track the problems. One alternative is a posi lock cable that allows you to engage the CAD manually, eliminating a lot of problems. http://www.4x4posi-lok.com/ Vacuum Lines There are 4 vacuum lines that serve a purpose for the CAD. First off i

Big thanks to aub1895 over on CF for lettings us save his writeup on an Eaton 10 speed swap           I had to reroute the exhaust because there wasn't enough room for it between the frame rails. This is a convoluted stainless elbow I made up to mate the primary turbo to the exhaust brake  Primary turbo + exhaust brake I had to put an air system on the truck so I upgraded to an air actuated exhaust brake. Modified exhaust The tank for

Hello Guys, Pepsi here with another thorough article. I have grabbed this information from over a dozen threads and posts across about 6 websites. I'm going to write this up, and surmised it where applicable to try and make sense of this. Hopefully you guys will learn something from this. And as usual if you guys have something to add fell free to tell me so I can add it in. PEPSI'S NOTES: This can apply loosely to the 46re/rh series, and the early 48re series that

Fixing the 5th Gear Nut To fix your 5th gear nut you need to remove a few things in order to get to them.  This will be done on my 1997 dodge Cummins 12v NV4500 2wd.  If you own a 4wd, you will have to take the transfer case off instead of the tailshaft housing.  I do not have a 4wd so cannot advise how to do it.  Step 1:  Drain the fluid out of the NV4500, this takes some time so you can do the next step while it is draining.

This is a fairly simple, straightforward job, needing only basic hand tools.I took some pics as I replaced mine last week, and thought I'd try making a write up on it. Basic tools etc. you'll need are , approx. 8qts. of ATF+4/ trans. filter,Governor press. solenoid and transducer. You'll need 1/4" drive torque wrench,sockets,basic 3/8" socket set,a pick or small screwdriver, a drill with a 1/2" bit for the drain plug kit that's going to be installed,a big catch pan, and a paint pen or sha

Tech: Tires, Gears, MPH and RPM A common 4x4 application is an upgrade to larger-than-stock tires. Once completed, this change immediately alters vehicle speed at a given rpm, rpm at a given speed, and effective gear ratio, which in turn affect both acceleration and fuel economy. Tire size, gear ratio, mph and rpm weave an intricate pattern of performance. Change one and all four are affected.;

Ok Gang... I've got a for sure way to diagnose torque converter lock up issues where it lock and unlocks at about 45-50 MPH. I had a gent call me yesterday with this problem and he's replace both batteries, alternator and the APPS sensor. Attempted all the different wiring issues (adding ground, tinfoil etc.) nothing worked. Like I told him the truck ran 11 years without all this stuff and doesn't require any wiring change to make it work. What it needs is the damaged part to be replaced.
