A little behind-the-scenes Dodge transmission talk from Galen.
This is a 47RE Dodge transmission β the style used in many Ram diesel pickups from the early 90's up through the first half of 2003. Like Galen says in the video, these can be really strong transmissions, but they do have a few βAchilles heelsβ that need to be addressed when they are being repaired or updated.
One of those is the rear sprag race. If it gets loose and starts rattling in the case, it can turn into a much bigger repair than it needed to be. Taking care of these known weak points while the transmission is apart helps make the truck more reliable and gives the repair a better chance of lasting.
