Ok I THINK the backer plate is PN 04761554, I don't see the pivot pin listed in any of the parts pages as an individual part. All I've found is this and it's not available.

Agree. John

Even though the fallout but i would say try Dynamic Transmissions out of Washington. He actually is really good builder. Even custom valve body set ups.

Also need advice from everyone on which vendor to choose for an new trans. Revmax ATS- heard not so good Randy's Suncoast ???

Grab a part number book and then look up the part number of the item your looking for and then do a search for that part number and maybe the part description. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/12-valve-2nd-generation/part-number-lookup-tool-2nd-gen-12v/ Might help to have your profile filled out so we can see the make and year.

May 26th is her birthday. Strange that the two of us have the 26th for birthdays. Then, strangely enough, our wedding day is the same as when we met—the 25th of June. Yes, we are still going to get married in public. @Tweety Bird asked for green today and not the dark green.

Inside too? That's tells me seal issue or pure abuse to have debris inside the tubes. Outside no problem. Just pressure washer the diff housing. You could pull the guts a pressure wash the inside too. Then air dry. Then dust with WD40 to retard rusting. Then paint the outside and load new guts (bearings and seals).

Trying to find a replacement pin set for the rear axle on my project. I have had no luck finding parts in searching the interwebs....any sources that might be hiding out there?

Well, I have a plan....at least if what I read is correct: I have to remove the carrier to get the seal replaced? If so, long extentions and a wire wheel reduced to the right size. @Mopar1973Man this truck looks like it was run thru a LOT of muddy water.....so it's all over in the tubes, with sand and grit.

Probably not my best choice then. Ok so ill stick with the 47RE for simplicty - done. Been reading on FMVB vs regular, seems like Id like it but not super street friendly and cost more lol Need to readup on lockup switches, OD switch, and everything else that deals with these autos. The time is getting close to start tear down for the 1/2 ton cummins swap...!

Remember the notation. 47RE 4 gears forward 7 on a 0 to 9 torque scale R ear wheel drive E lectronic Shift 4th Gear 48RE is the same mostly but the torque limit is higher. Plugs and connectors are most likely the hang up.

Still learning transmissions... Still looking for a trans and came across this trans local to me. Its a 48RE though.???? Kinda high price just to rebuild to handle 650 ish hp, definitely not a core price lol... Thoughts??

This will help on keyless entry on power door locks.

Hmmm... I've never had an issue like that where there is crud in the axle tubes.

I think this is what your are looking for. Removal (9) Remove the eight flywheel housing to block bolts and remove housing and starter motor as an assembly. Installation (9) Install the flywheel housing and bolts. Tighten the bolts to 60 N·m (44 ft. lbs.) torque. John

My clutch of 7 years decided to peace out today (throw out is just screaming). 1 month short of my trans rebuild slated for end of June (of course). I bought a Valair DD quiet clutch kit 2 weeks ago and I have South Bend hydros already (clutch is a single disc SB) I need to pull my bellhousing adapter plate off to reseal my rear cam plug. Does anyone know the torque spec for the bolts that mount it to the back of the block? Because it’s DC I can’t simply log into QSOL and find it by ESN. Gonna do my rear main seal too (sleeved style). I found a NOS Cummins installer for that particular seal for cheap online so I know have just about every tool for the 24V one can think of :)

Our last trip down to Boise ID we were going to dry camp with the RV as @Tweety Bird had medical appointments. While down in Boise / Eagle area Beast just died and jumped back to life.I called it and was the VP44. Fast forward we get home and park Beast beside the RV. Fast forward again yesterday i went to start Beast and move.Nope no start. Bummed I was going to have to work out in the yard. This morning I figure to try starting Beast again. Long crank but it started. Quickly move over the garage door so I could start the replacement. Managed to just get the pump out. Sad part is im not as strong as I once was and everything seems so very over tightened. Really its not im just that weak.

Do you have the axle out from underneath the truck?

Took me a minute to realize what you were talking about lol. I didn't even know that was a thing with our trucks? My 02 3500 doesn't have this option, I am now curious on this as well. I did find this. Appears that the CTM controls your (locking doors with key)

does the key lock/unlock use a different circuit? that is what has me perplexed.

Any hints, tips or tricks to clean the crud, sand and crap out of the axel tubes to the inner seal without pulling the carrier?

It was awesome to just take time away from the mess in my own yard. Even though both of us were worn out and really didn't do anything much while out here. The weather got cold and is snowing. We were up near Lost Valley Reservoir at an elevation of roughly 4,800 feet. The first two days were spent sitting at the dining table, looking out the windows at the storm rolling in and then rolling out and clearing up. Titanium was in hair and super simple, just black eyeliner and black eye shadow, then black lipstain. The focus was more on healing and rest. Which we did for the 4 days we were out there. We both enjoyed the dry camping so much that it will become a normal travel plan. Even with our medical requirements and doctor's visits, we can pull the RV down towards Boise and dry camp somewhere. If we need a more solid home base, I still have my friend "Muddy" in Parma, who is always looking forward to us stopping in. There will be more travel with us using Beast and the RV, more so for even shopping in Lewiston, ID. We can dry camp anywhere or stay at the Clearwater Casino, which is a full hook-up spot too.

We are still currently living in the RV as we start to unpack into the house again, @Tweety Bird and I enjoyed the dry camping we did up at Lost Valley Reservoir. We needed the break so badly that we never went fishing at all. We just enjoyed the quiet and lack of cell service. My phone had just 1 bar, which barely would work, and I was able to text a few friends and communicate with them. We had two days of a very cold and windy snowstorm. Even back home, I was able to catch the Mopar1973Man weather station once to see 17 MPH winds during that storm. Thor managed to pull the RV but not hing like what Beast can. Remember, Thor is a stock truck with slightly larger injectors, like +50 HP. The RV at 8,3xx pounds was a good tug to get up to 4,800 feet from 2,8xx feet here at home. Still, Thor managed a mere 13.5 MPG on the run out for camping and only came into town to pick up gasoline for the generator.
