  1. Thanks i have an email to parts link and will look into conversion, it is an 1984
  2. I am not using 5 spd at all looking to get two automatic trans for them the motor home is an E350 460 auto in a 26' cab over not very big the trans you mension is that something to come by pretty easaly ? Thanks
  3. I am removing a 460 ford in my motorhome and also installing a 5.9 12 valve in a 1960 Divco milktruck both of them are getting the 5.9 One has a 5 speed and the other has a 47re behind it I am asking what is the best transmission to use that does not need a computer. Thanks
  4. Ok My trans went out in a 99 2wd, i purchased a used one and installed it ( 47RE ).Problem on new (used )tranny was It would take of in 2nd or 3rd gear and then over heat. The problem was that 99 and down have diferrent solenoids and wiring harness than the 2000-2002 they operate on diferrent OHMS so robert before selling me any parts intructed me on how to remove the solenoids and body and also how to remove the parts that hold the harness in and that are attached to the VB. took old parts from original tranny and installed them in the 2002 trans and in less than an hr I was back on the road. hope this helps. made me more confident on maybe trying to rebuild my old one parts are pretty cheap and Robert told me I can do it the most expensive part is the TQ unless you performance.
  5. I am not advertising but I had problems with my 47re in a 99 and did not have the money to rebuild after all the help from the guys here on this forum I found a man Robert from CASCADE TRANSMISSIONS from oregon I am in Texas and he walked me through it no problem and he sells parts and has plenty of videos on you tube if you need help contact him
  6. For all you guys that had input on helping me I thank you. I found the problem with the used trans 2000 will not work on a 99 i swapped the wiring harness and the two valves that the harness is connected to and it is driving just fine. the solenoids on these 47re work on diferrent ohms and even though the 47re are excactly the same the wiring and harness inside the tranny is diferrent... I just want to say Thanks to Robert from CASCADE TRANSMISSIONS IN OREGON he talked to me explained it to me and has many videos on you tube about dodge trannys.. anyway once he explained it, It took less than an hour to swap it all and get on the road . Thank you mopar man
  7. since I do not know what year it is and do not know anything about this 47re do you think its something I can take out and bring to a shop to check? where is the solenoid? .I build complete engines sbc and HD's but just never messed w/ auto trans before and this is not just an ordanary unit. will a trans shop even look at it for me?the VB that is.I asked a local trans shop what you suggested and they said it would take them 4-5 hrs to change a VB, is this right?Thanks I need all the hellp I can get right now
  8. yes you did but I had no choice or 3,000.00plus dollars, so I had to too and if I change VB and it does not work I do not have a truck till I can get the money or parts.
  9. should I take the parts you mentioned out of old trans and install in new one?
  10. cannot get a hold of the guy I purchased from left messages no reply so I am on my own..when light came on the lines were hot but my cooler up front was not so I thought maybe clogged . I took apart and flush again started truck let run without driving it and cooler was hot the same as lines . can I use the parts you mensioned out of the old one? if you read all my post are they still good?
  11. do not know the year .Is there a way to tell by numbers on tranny? or should I take my old VB out and install it? would this make it run hot and start in 2nd gear?
  12. well insatalled the used trans and put new filter and flushed fluid blew out oil coolers(2) and truck did not stall and seemed sluggish but I have been driving different vehicles the past few days well it seems to be taking off in 2nd or third gear but if I put it in 1st and manuelly shift it it is fine well drove for about 20 miles stop and go and the trans temp light came on ( never has before ) and OD off light came on truck started acting up ishifted the truck and stomped on it and the lights went out for about 2 miles then the light came back on but truck ran fine as long as i did not stop if I did I had to manualy shift ...any Ideas I am 750.00 in the hole so far - - - Updated - - - well insatalled the used trans and put new filter and flushed fluid blew out oil coolers(2) and truck did not stall and seemed sluggish but I have been driving different vehicles the past few days well it seems to be taking off in 2nd or third gear but if I put it in 1st and manuelly shift it it is fine well drove for about 20 miles stop and go and the trans temp light came on ( never has before ) and OD off light came on truck started acting up ishifted the truck and stomped on it and the lights went out for about 2 miles then the light came back on but truck ran fine as long as i did not stop if I did I had to manualy shift ...any Ideas I am 750.00 in the hole so far
  13. well just letting you guys out there Thanks for the help I found a 47RE w/ TC for 400.00. 100.00 in fuel to get it and a little over a 100.00 filter gasket and 14 qt of fluid truck is running great but three whole days of labor doing it but I can probably do an RR next time in about 4hrs.lol Thanks
  14. no i found them on CL and not exactly close to the house .both are out of trucks one guy said he had it rebuilt the came out of a running truck. i am just getting the run around from local shops cannot get an answer on getting it repaired. i dont want to drop my truck off and then not be able to pay for it when it is done.Thanks
  15. I found two trans that i was told are 47RE both from a 98 model ,are they the same or will they work in my 99? this my question. one is 500 other 700 and about 250 miles away is it woth it.
  16. I put the pan back on I was pretty much disgusted and yes it did look like a snap ring but I just dont know anything about tranny's I would like to know where it came from but iether way I have to get it repaired.and now it is just trying to find an honest shop. I have called several places and noone will bench build or exchange the 47re or if they do no Warranty...I am just going to hope I get enough back in my taxes...Thanks for all the help,, I had hope on something simple. I will let you guys know what it was .
  17. i started truck and put it in gear and it died I looked for relay found one marked trans relay I pulled it while truck was runing and I could feel it energizing as i put it in and out. did not make a difference. truck still died I shut truck off and turned key to on position and reley did nothing only energized with truck running. this where I am at now. i am making room to put truck on slab to remove pan and check fluid and filter.. OH don't realy know if I have the right relay it was on drivers side fuse box. - - - Updated - - - well dropped the pan and guess it goes back to no honest trans shops i found the fluid looking alot darker than the dipstick seems to show. the magnetic plug had slug and I found a piece of metal about 1" long about a 1/8" wide see picture metal is to the left of plug
  18. I will try these things when i get home today I will find and pull the relay and it should not kill engine correct? and it will just not lock up right . if it does nothing I will pull the pan and see what is in it. i just talked to a trans shop in houston he said he would fix it for 2400 and does not do swaps or bench builds he has to install it so i want to try whatever I can first. Thanks for the replies I will post pics if I get that far today.
  19. well it was explained to me that if the TC is bad and broke the pieces and what ever is in tranny . the TC cost 600.00 and if I install it the trash will get into it and tranny is going to go bad again. does this make sense? and do not know any honest transmission shop in area . I really do not know what to do as i do not have 2500-3000+ dollars to replace it.
  20. only thing I did was disconnect the batteries and check them they were OK don't know how to adjust bands and will try to change fluid if you think it will work ..I just talk to a guy who said my TC was locked up and not worth trying install a new one.
  21. My truck all of the sudden stalls when I put into a drive gear F or R .when I do get it going it seems to drive fine until I get to a red light as I slow down at about 8mph it seems to downshift and idle goes up. when I come to a complete stop it seems as if someone is behind me pushing me and if i let off of the brake truck wants to take off. I made it home and did some checking and if i start it it idles fine when i get it to run in gear with my foot on the brake the accelerater does not respond .i can mash it all the way to the floor and nothing happens if i let go of the brake it will start to roll then the pedal responds.can anyonr help?Thanks
