47re won't downshift to 1st gear
I doubt it will start in first I when selector is in 2nd. I agree regardless of parts age that pressure sensor and transducer are likely suspect, Regardless of codes thrown or not. Mine had similar issues I also thought it was temperature related. I also already had upgraded electronics on board. I did change to GM sensor and new transducer at the time sensor is gms 4l60e gov pressure sensor. Not entirely sure how much of an upgrade or any over the borg sensor. For some reason the GM sensor is listed for 2000up 47re not sure why. I was not expecting to notice anything but did notice quicker shifts after installing and 2nd gear starts went away truck never threw codes. I think transducer was likely the culprit but no sense in changing just one alone. Higher pressures are hard on parts exspecly when idle psi is at factory wot pressure 2000up https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F123656733827 Listed for 98-03 https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F302114185385 I actually found this part instock at a local transmission warehouse in idaho.

47re for 2001 4wd
I've never found a 47 for 150. Think 400 is the lowest ive seen . I haven't looked in dynamics area bought 10hours from me.

4th gen steering shortfalls?
I got my truck at 150k . All ujoints shot except inside the dana 60 I've never done thise yet. Been thinking about doing them because I'll have to listen to one clatter limping one day. I have done front driveline a total of 3 times now to get to 350k truck isnt ran in 4wd very often but has had quite few adventures pulling the horses through slop I was unsure of. Rooster throwing on the turbo for miles hanging in the borrow ditch kinda adventures. With the please dont stop prayer rolling in my head. Rear drive line only ounce

Oil change interval
500 or whatever mike has is alot of power. I also believe he believes it to be reliable and was saving money. Maybe in his head keeping prices below what a 47re costs

Aurora 3000
It's not drilled out. Is that s300?

Abs, brake light, speedo dance
I also doubt the tone ring. I've found my truck to be mostly trouble free only needing consumable parts. Good luck sorry I can't help

Want a little more power
I agree. Stock 4th gens would cower till the stick center seat area needs to be grabbed.

Morimoto HIDs Headlights in a 2nd Generation Dodge
Takes work that good shots of light as the eye sees it and not the camera. My silver stars always look prett good in photos but brighter than actual. This ball of flame coming at me didnt look near this bright. This could possibly be close to how my silver stars actually look

4th gen steering shortfalls?
Lol. Ford on our trucks isnt really a bad thing. They've always had tighter steering however you need football feild to turn one

4th gen steering shortfalls?
We care because?

4th gen steering shortfalls?
I see no reason not to run 4th. Dodge also feels the same. As it warranty fix for 3rd gens

Front brake pad life, auto trans
Since were talking tires sleds and brakes. I just grooved my basically bald tires. This made huge improvement on snow. Ive also aired down to eat some shoulder. These tires are not quite to 50k .Being in 4wd keeps the truck ging straight hen 47re shifts to 2nd gear. My rotors and pads are some kinda ceramic voodoo pad and napa rotors show little wear after 45k this is towing off and on. Sometimes with no trailer brakes. Rotors are consumable mostly not even worth 30bucks a rotor to turn them. These my go the life of the truck and stopping power is pretty darn good. I do roll up to all stop lights like I'm in big truck maybe that's why my pads and rotors last. The 47re also has a fair amount of braking and down shifts well. I've drove trucks with exhaust brakes and never thought they were the nats as for slowing down but when your at 32k your slowing way before you get to the stop Hes a she, christine and seems to fight the machine in deep snow. If it's only 2ft deep shel find the 4ft drifts to get stuck in.

Track Bar Keeps Coming Loose
The 2nd gen bars going to be hit and miss. I dont think the 3rd gens much better we eat them on our 2007. I'd make sure the drag link and track bar are very close to parrel mounting point to mounting point. The curve in bar does not matter. If they are I'd go from there. Even possibly adjusting castor angle so it's got more positive. Popping leads me to believe something is loose. Most the time popping gets worse or when it goes away it's now so loose the popping stops.
