03 auto what trans do i have?
ive got 2 03 trucks built 12-02 and 1-03 and i was told if the 8th digit in the vin is a 6 which both of my trucks do, then its a 47re but i looked at the wires going into the tranny by the shifter linkage and there are 5 wires. i thought the 47 only had 3?

If you have a 2003 HO 305 hp w/550 torque you will have a 48RE. That engine came out in 2002 but you could only get it with a manual trans. They came out with the 48RE in 2003 to handle the high torque.

With the build dates you are saying, it is probabbly the 47RE.
Another way to tell is look on the side of the intake manifold. (I believe the sticker is on the drivers side) It will tell you the horsepower rating. If it doesn't say 305, then it is the 47RE.

Check the code in your glovebox.......there should be 2 trans codes...what are they?
(I have an 03 build date 03/03 vin has a 6 (SO motor), but i actually have the 48RE. It was an option when i bought the truck....best way to know for sure, a quick email to chrysler and a couple days wait - they'll email you a build sheet)

My '03 auto was ordered in March '03 and was delivered in early June '03. This may be considered the second half of the '03 model year. It definitely has a 48RE. Any good trans shop can tell you what it is equipped with or your Dodge dealer shop.
