Attention: TDR Forum Junkies early demise
First of all, my opinion is that the 47RE is not junk. It does benefit from upgrades and updates in most applications and especially in our diesels. I worked at Chevy dealers for 8 years and saw failures of their trans at less than a mile on the odometer. It is a shame that this one failed and I hope the dealer opts for a new unit, though a tech who is on the ball could likely repair it to give good service for a long time. (Till the upgrades
) As a Mopar fan working commission at a Chevy dealer I was asked often why I didn't work at Dodge. Simple answer, not enough trans work to make a living.
