Td9clyde 0 Posted February 12, 2016 Ok, I have a 96 dodge 12v in a 1956 ford truck . No computer, and I was planning on hooking up a computer in it to run the transmission. I have the dreaded 47re . So my question is how do I power up the computer system and what wiring do I have to hook up to make it work? Any help would be great thanks in advance.

Cowboy 311 2 Vehicles Posted February 12, 2016 The PCM uses a lot of different inputs to shift the transmission. I don't have a list of them all, but the FSM might. For your swap, I would be really tempted to trade for an 47RH, even if you need to shell out a little coin you'll be way ahead in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it's possible, but would take a couple things including a RH valve body, RH OD section, and a way to get the different shaped electrical plugs through the main housing. You could install a manual valve body on the 47RE... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Me78569 2,880 1 Vehicles Posted February 12, 2016 that would work too. Didn't know you needed to swap that much out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
