Replying to: MikaybiZ (Jan 10, 2009 12:31 pm) Hmmm. Well, yes, a A618 is the previous nomenclature for the 47RH, and the basis for the 47RE. You are correct that the 47RE was used on the V-10 and earlier Cummins motors. A 47RE is essentially the same as a 46RE, but uses additional clutches and has extra pinions in the planetary gearsets. It is a heavier version of a 46RE, if you will.   Can a A-618/47RE bolt up to your 2000 360 motor. Yes. Is there a problem with this? Not in my opinion. I'm guessing that who ever did the work for you did not rebuild or work on the original transmission, but bought an off-the-shelf rebuilt from a supplier. If so, the supplier is probably hedging for the sake of warranty coverage knowing that truck trannies often get abused and poorly cared for and a stronger version would hold up better, or at least that's their theory. Since the difference between rebuilding a 46RE and a 47RE is rather minuscule, it logically provides an increased cost/benefit ratio for the supplier.   I'll have to check, but it is possible that a 47RE was available as an option for the 360, and maybe even the 318 in those years.   By any chance is this a 4x4 RAM?   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: MikaybiZ (Jan 11, 2009 3:25 pm) dustyk (Jan 17, 2009 12:31 pm) MikaybiZ (Jan 17, 2009 7:17 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Jan 11, 2009 1:42 pm) As a matter of fact it is, the odd thing is I had this trannie replaced in Utah in October and the drove to Alabama at the beginning of November without a problem. It wasn't until recently that it started acting up. The most notable problem has been it shifting itself out of overdrive and not letting me put back into overdrive. Even with the check engine light it seems to be driving okay, I would rather not press my luck and be stuck somewhere. Also has anybody had any problems with their dashboard basically fall apart? If so what can I do? I it a pain to replace by myself? I'm not Mr. Goodwrench by any means but I can do some basic stuff. By the way thanks for your help Dusty.   Mike Replies to this message: dustyk (Jan 17, 2009 12:31 pm) MikaybiZ (Jan 17, 2009 7:17 pm)

Replying to: MikaybiZ (Jan 11, 2009 3:25 pm) I just seem to think that the 47RE might have been available as an option, specifically on certain 4x4 versions, whether part of an off-road package or something like that. I cannot find any thing documented that verifies that, however.   On the previous generation RAMs (pre-2002), splits in the dashboard were a problem, although I know of a lot of RAMs of that vintage that have not had the problem. I was told by a Dodge service manager that this problem was traced to a molding-related defect and that's why it affected only certain vehicles. I think I heard that, based on how good your relationship is with the dealer, that they can help you get some financial assistance from Chrysler on a portion or all of the repair.   Regards, Dusty Replies to this message: MikaybiZ (Jan 17, 2009 7:17 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Jan 17, 2009 12:31 pm) You may be right Dusty my model is a 4x4 and also the sport off road package, it must have been an option for that model. I took it back to the shop for another look hopefully they find something because this is getting old. As for the dash I have done some looking around on the web and found a place that is selling it for around a hundred bucks. Looks like a good deal but we will see. I only hope that I'm not biting off more than I can chew putting it in myself. Thanks again Dusty.   Mike

Replying to: OmegaGhost86 (Jan 17, 2009 7:42 pm) My 2000 Ram P/U was doing same thing a couple years ago. It went away after replacing the two speed sensors in the transmission. It just started happening again (odo=120K). I'm considering replacing the transmission, but am wondering what else will go wrong after sinking almost $3K for the job. Any suggestions?
