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,

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.  

Thank you.  I will check with them.

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.

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