This BD Diesel transmission kit is designed specifically for 2000-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models equipped with the 47RE 2WD transmission. Built for heavy-duty performance, this comprehensive upgrade enhances durability, torque capacity, and shift quality, making it ideal for towing, high-performance applications, and fleet use. The kit includes an upgraded valve body, a high-capacity torque converter with enhanced stall features, and an auxiliary full flow filter for superior fluid filtration. The upgraded governor solenoid and pressure transducer provide increased line pressure—up to 200 psi—helping prevent shifting issues and ensuring consistent engagement under demanding conditions. The billet input shaft, billet band lever, and drilled intermediate shaft improve strength and lubrication, reducing wear and extending component life.
The aluminum heavy-duty transmission pan adds an extra 2 quarts of oil capacity, with heat-dissipating fins that help maintain optimal operating temperatures. Every transmission is tested on a dynamometer prior to shipping to ensure performance consistency. The included cooler line case saver and magnetic drain plug contribute to long-term reliability by protecting vital components and facilitating maintenance. This kit’s robust construction employs furnace-brazed fins and cast aluminum components, optimizing fluid flow and heat management while reducing weight by approximately 12 pounds compared to similar aftermarket offerings. Designed with a focus on high torque capacity, the components feature self-centering teeth, riveted assemblies, and forged steel covers for maximum engagement and durability.
The torque converter is engineered for street and towing applications, with features such as a stamped forged one-piece cover and shock-absorbing springs. It offers a lower RPM response for improved efficiency and better fuel economy. The entire assembly is built for long-term use, with high-temperature Raybestos bands and a furnace-brazed fin design to minimize internal leakage and improve fluid coupling. Backed by a 36-month/150,000-mile parts warranty and a 12-month/24,000-mile labor warranty, this transmission upgrade ensures reliability and peace of mind. Whether you’re replacing a worn-out transmission or upgrading for increased towing capacity, this BD Diesel transmission kit provides the strength and performance needed for severe fleet and heavy-duty applications.
