    47re to nv4500 swap kit

    Truck is bone stock but I’ll be adding a plate and gov springs. I can’t imagine the nv4500 being the weakest of dodge manuals. The getrag 360 was much weaker. And to buy a new/reman G56 adds roughly $2-2500 to the total. I’d love a 6 speed but I can’t justify the extra cost.

    proper 47re lockup operation

    I noticed I still have the throttle linkage recall open for my truck so I may go ahead and have that done, that should ensure I’m getting full travel from in the cab when they set it up I’d think

    proper 47re lockup operation

    Thanks for the reply’s. I was able to do a quick test this evening, got on a straight stretch of road at about 55mph (in od and lockup) and mashed the throttle about as far as I could and to my surprise it did drop out of lockup and I believe it actually dropped into third. So maybe I just...
