Good Source for Re-manufactured 47RE Automatic Transmission

Posted

My brother-in-law in Crescent City, CA has a 2002 4wd Cummins 2500 truck that has logged 175,000 miles.  The stock automatic transmission has failed l- no second gear.  I don't have any real details of the exact failure.  The truck is still stock - no tuner and original injectors.

 

The truck occasionally tows a very heavy 5th wheel (around 14,000 lbs), usually less than 200 miles round trip two or three times a year.  He has no near future plans of doing anything different.  Sometime down the road he may become a full-time RV-er and he will purchase a truck to match whatever he tows. 

 

I was thinking of a quality rebuild with a lower stall speed converter that would work for his current situation. 

 

Any vendor recommendations would be appreciated along with any helpful suggestions.

 

Thank you,

 

- John

Dynamic Transmisson out of Spokane, WA are a reputable builder. They (owner, John) re-built my trans and I'm happy with it. One potential option for your brother in law.

Dynamic Transmisson was my choice when my trans needed rebuilding.  I shipped it from San Diego to his shop.

Thank you @IBMobile, we may be moving forward with this re-builder.  I just talked to my brother-in-law about the Stage II transmission from Dynamic Transmission.  He has determined that he will likely be keeping the truck, so this transmission would be a good match for his needs.

Jon did the transmission in Lil Red which was my 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 46RE which he upgraded to a 47RE and make it shift strong.

Thanks @Mopar1973Man.  I contacted Dynamic Transmission via email a couple of hours ago.  They seem to be the unanimous "go to" transmission place.

@Tractorman could you clear out your PM box. I was going to PM you but its full.

 

It is not full 

 

My Inbox shows, "Used 0% messenger storage"  and "storing 5 messages (max 1000)."

 

So, I am not sure exactly what is going on.
