47re stock or not?

There enlies the problem. 90% of the people do NOT do just that.. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2

yup!! too easy to abuse then neglect a piece of equipment. then when it breaks, we all want to scream at the manufacturer. dodge did in fact put limits on an otherwise bulletproof design so that it would in fact have a "life time". the design of the 47re behind the cummins is for 120,000 miles at full recommended gcwr. that is why they have an input torque rating of 450lbs behind an engine with 460lbs of output...couple that with what we all know to be to light of apply pressures through the VB and ATF+4 that is designed to PROMOTE slippage between the clutches and there you have it. I, for one, was not happy when I was shown the paper work on how they created design flaws into what i consider to be the stoutes design for simple brute force of any transmission from the big three. But they all do it. ford and chevy with the allison. so there we are. the engineers spend big bucks to get you past the warranty and onto spending another 5400 or so bucks to replace on your own dime, unless you address the inherent design (read intentional) flaws that are in any piece of equipment

I suppose we'll hear the VP44 is a good injection pump next.
