The BD Diesel Stage 4 Transmission Kit (Part # 1064164SS) is designed to optimize heavy-duty performance for 1996-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 47RE transmission. This comprehensive upgrade includes a fully rebuilt and reinforced transmission assembly with enhanced internal components that significantly improve durability, torque capacity, and operational efficiency. Features such as an upgraded governor solenoid with twice the burst pressure of stock, a high-capacity aluminum transmission pan with heat-dissipating fins, and a billet input shaft designed to handle rapid throttle and high horsepower loads make this kit ideal for demanding towing and performance applications. The inclusion of a BD auxiliary full flow filter ensures additional protection against debris, extending the lifespan of your drivetrain.
The enhanced stall torque converter offers lower RPM response, improved power transfer, and better fuel economy, making it suitable for street and towing use. The high-temp Raybestos band, billet band lever, and billet band strut contribute to increased reliability under severe conditions. Every transmission is tested on a dynamometer to guarantee quality and performance consistency. This kit also features a steel front cover with furnace-brazed fins for superior heat management, a drilled intermediate shaft for increased lubrication, and a cooler line case saver for added durability. Designed with precision, the kit includes a 2-quart extra capacity pan with heat dissipation fins, magnetic drain plug, and an upgraded 48RE sun shell.
Installation requires adherence to specific procedures, including replacing the pilot bearing and resurfacing or replacing the flywheel. Proper break-in and lubrication are critical to achieving maximum lifespan and performance. This package is backed by a 36-month/150,000-mile warranty on parts and a 12-month/24,000-mile warranty on labor, ensuring peace of mind for your investment. Suitable for high-torque applications, this kit is ideal for fleet, towing, and heavy-duty use, providing enhanced durability, thermal management, and operational efficiency for your Dodge Ram transmission system.
