found a tag under hood with ID "DGP" 4sp transmission type.
which matches with 47RE , so I went with 47RE spec's below.
Haynes spec's is either wrong or spec's below is wrong.

did a google search and found:

* Front Band
o 46RE - tighten screw to 8N.m or 72 inch pounds, back off 2 7/8 turns
o 47RE - tighten screw to 8N.m or 72 inch pounds, , back off 1 7/8 turns
* Rear band
o 46RE - tighten screw to 8N.m or 72 inch pounds, back off 2 turns
o 47RE - tighten screw to 8N.m or 72 inch pounds, back off 3 turns
* The adjustment screw inside the case is a square head bolt. You will need a special 1/4 square head socket to fit your torque wrench.

I ran into the same problem on my '98 Ram; I followed the factory service manual instead of the other sources.
