if it's an auto it's probably a 47 or 48RE. chrysler mfg. manual don't know..

no_6_oh_no

Manual will be a New Venture, either NV4500 5 speed or NV5600 6 speed.

Auto transmission is a Dodge unit depending on build date. 01-03 and later is 48RE, earlier than that it is a 47RE.

call a dodge dealer and give them the last 8 of your vin# and they will be able to tell you what it was built with anyways.

- '89 to '93: getrag g360

- '07 to present: aisin 6-speed.

Edit: Most info on the autos came directly from suncoast's website with slight changes from me based on what i've read.

no_6_oh_no

01/01/2003 Is the date they started with the 48re in all 03 models, SO and HO. My 03 had a build date of 01-12-03 and it had the 48re.

jimbo486

so the a518 and the 46RH is the same trans?

no_6_oh_no

Yep, thats the designation. Not much difference but the 47RH was a lockup and the 46RH was not, at least in the diesels. They had lockups in the gassers before they put it into the diesels.

Spooler

You forgot one. The 07.5 to present 2500 and 3500 auto's are 68rfe tranny's built by Dodge. The C&C trucks have the Aisin 6 speed automatic.

jimbo486

whoops. had a brain fart didn't know that one was only used in the C&C trucks.

dodgebob03

Now I'm confused! lol

Mcmopar

Sorry, I have to correct you, the 47RH was ONLY a 1994-1995 transmission for the diesel, in 96 they went to the RE.
