This BD Diesel 47RE Transmission & Converter Package is engineered specifically for heavy-duty towing and fleet applications, offering unmatched durability and performance for 1996-1997 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models. The package includes a fully rebuilt transmission with upgraded components such as a high-performance valve body, enhanced governor solenoid, and increased line pressure to 190-200psi, ensuring more efficient power transfer and reduced shift delays. The billet input shaft and drilled intermediate shaft improve longevity under high torque loads, while the heavy-duty aluminum pan with heat-dissipating fins maintains optimal operating temperatures during extended towing or aggressive driving conditions. The addition of a BD auxiliary full flow filter kit ensures additional protection against contaminants, prolonging the lifespan of your drivetrain. Every transmission undergoes dyno testing to verify performance standards, providing confidence in its reliability and robustness.
The included torque converter features an enhanced stall speed designed for street and towing applications, delivering improved throttle response and reduced transmission stress. Built with steel front covers, stamped forged 1-piece construction, and billet components such as the band lever and strut, this assembly is designed to withstand severe duty cycles. The upgraded clutch count—six in direct, five in forward, six in overdrive, and ten in overdrive direct—along with cast aluminum stators and improved sprag components, maximizes torque capacity and durability. The package also incorporates a cooler line case saver and magnetic drain plug for enhanced maintenance and heat dissipation. Tested on a dynamometer, this complete rebuild ensures a high-performance, long-lasting drivetrain upgrade, backed by a 36-month/150,000-mile parts warranty and 24,000 miles labor coverage.
Designed for professional installation, this comprehensive package offers everything needed to restore or upgrade your heavy-duty transmission to handle increased horsepower, towing demands, and prolonged use. Proper installation and adherence to break-in procedures are critical for optimal performance and longevity of the components, especially given the high-performance enhancements included in this package.
