    Fix up time

    I recently returned to the Dodge/Cummins world, when I acquired my neighbor and friends 98.5 5peed. 276k He is getting on in years and forgetting the little things like traffic signals, clutches and wait to start lights. And so begins the fix, on the old beast. Years ago when I had a 97, auto...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Auto shifting oddity

    So a new thread for the current issue. When I start out, the truck shifts fine through all gears, even overdrive, but as soon as it downshifts below 3rd, for hills or a corner, it will not shift back up. I have tried it in drive, and shifting manually. no difference. Shut it off, and It begins...

    Archived transmission Question

    I have the 47 re in my 97, and it's acting up. Had a hefty leak, and changed fluid, filter and put on a new pan gasket. Still leaked, so I then replaced the fill tube gasket, then it had a big delay when I put it in gear, and after a bit I replaced the drainback valve. good for a week, and...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Auto transmission leak

    As most of you who have or had one know, the 47re is fraught with issues. In my truck, which I bought at 95000 miles, I had to replace at 97000 with a Jasper. It was early in the learning curve, so I should have spent a bit more and got a truely built one or had a good shop repair the one I...

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Sport headlight upgrade issue

    I finally bit the bullet and bought the goodies to fix my lights. Lights from ebay, and harnesses from LMC. Got them all installed no issues but when I turned them on, I have all four lamps lit, whether they are on high or low beam. I thought that they would run 2 beams on low, and 4 on high...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Overdrive switch

    I have a 97, auto, with some Goerend parts. It shifts fine, but I use the overdrive switch a lot, and thought it would be nice if it were somewhere else. Like the end of the shift lever or steering wheel, so I don't have to move my hands so far. Has anyone done this already? ThanX

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Cold weather question

    These cold mornings, my TC doesn't wan't to lock up and stay that way for quite a few miles. Is this an issue if I use the switch to keep it there? ( I mean will I hurt something? ) I have cleaned the contacts on the temp sensor, and assume it is working fine, have gauges all around, It's...

Seems like if I try to run the wires through the gromett by the master cylinder, the signal booster thingy will have...

    Archived Dropped the eclip

    I was installing a new valvebody last night and dropped the e clip into the transmission ( upside down) can i wash it out with diesel or mineral spirits. I'm thinking that the stick transmission fluid won't let it fall back out when I tip it. 47 re if that makes a diff. I'll be on the phone with...

    Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Help!

    Bought some parts from Goerend, and finnally got the nerve up to get going on it. Trannys in the garage, installed the servo spring, and apply levet/ strut combo. Figured I'd put in the new valve body while I have it where it's clean and not cramped. (driveway job) Long story short I dropped...
