Howdy guys it’s been a while since I have posted! A lot has changed in the last few months. I sold the 2000 6 speed and bought a 99 24 valve automatic trans. The new truck has 102k miles. No rust absolute mint condition all original. I’ve got a few questions regarding the 47re that is in the new rig. First thing I’ll be doing is gauges. Trans,fuel, and boost. First off I need a rundown on what a tc lockup switch is and how it works and will it benefit my stock trans. Next is they’re some upgrades I should do to help with trans longevity? Truck is all stock with no plans to add any power. As of now the trans shifts perfect. I know some people will say I’m crazy to sell a 6 speed and buy an auto but that’s what I wanted I guess.

nice find for the truck.

 

I recently sold my 6spd as well.  2wd in the snow is not practical.

Thanks. I ordered a Mag Hytec double deep pan already. Headlights are a must before long and the strut as well.

That's a clean looking new rig man.  As much as I want a stick in my truck, it is nice to sit back and let the auto do the work sometimes.  I can always go rip through the gears in my mustang if I get an itchy left foot. 

I'm slowly becoming more confident.  I'll build motors and work on most anything but automatic transmissions have been Greek to me and scarey.

 

My tranny builder built my tranny we came up with a parts list and settled on how much money to put in it. (Alot) he did the valve body then I grew some nuts and decided to go into the valve body myself. Wasnt near as bad as I thought it would be.

 

I am far from knowing much about the 47re. It's an interesting tranny and I'm interested in it so I'm continually learning as much as I can. From anyone and every where I can
