Got a 47RH core for the 92. Now to overhaul and install it. Sense this is the wifes truck I'm keeping it toned down. The most it will have to do is tow a 7500lb travel trailer from time to time. I'm also not going to give it more than about 200hp. Though I would like the hard core stuff, its not in the budget. What would be the stuff that needs to be upgraded (weak parts) and upgrades that are good and not too expensive? A shift kit is on the list and the parts needed to install.
I found a link to install the 47RH and one to overhaul a 518, but can anyone steer me to a 47RH overhaul link?
And any tips, help, and parts sources would be greatly appreciated.

The lock up means I'll address later. I have some ideas, subject to evolution.

 

You might be better off looking at the 2nd gen. section....

 

You will find that with the exception of the lock-up converter related stuff, the 47RH and the 46RH (A518) are essentially the same (the 47RH has a few more clutches/steels along with increased pinion-gears counts in the front planetary, that kinda mess. Mainly beefed-up innards).

I've had good luck with these folks ~ http://www.transtar1.com/locations.asp
(One can get rebuilt parts as well as new)

 

Thats why I decided to go with the 47RH rather than just rebuild the A518. About the same to overhaul except the TC is more $$$$

 

Contact member Fred Swanson he could give you good advise on the tranny

 

Thanks guys.
Spent several hours on http://www.transmissioncenter.net/dodge.htm web site. I have a better idea of what I'm looking for now. Just need to fine tune to fit in my budget.

 

Cougar - try buying something like this when you're retired .
They worked with me when I bought one of their kits..
I even deleted the TC and added some other items; total cost including shipping was close to original cost with the TC.
They let me make 3 payments - didn't charge me any extra and the 3 boxes arrived via UPS 4 days after the last payment.

One part was left out and when I called them they said the part was on back order and I would get it shortly. 3 days later another box via UPS arrived with the missing part - no charge.
