Hi, I am a Dodge and Chevrolet dealer. So I have quite a bit of understanding of the newer Dodge and GM trannies. First off, if you go with a Dodge diesel, get one that was built after January 1st 2003, if you do, you'll get the new and much improved 48re trans instead of the old and tired 47re. The 48re is so much heavier built internally it doesn't compare at all to the 47re of the previous models. We have sold a lot of the Dodge/Cummins with the 48re, I have one customer who is a hotshot trucker who has an 04' that has over 230k hard pulling miles on it and the tranny has never been touched besides having two fluid changes. Also, the 5-45rfe that comes with hemi gas engine is a super durable tranny. We have several of those running in some real severe circumstances and have had no failure's out of those either. The older Dodge tranny's like the 47re, 47rh, 46re, 46rh really were pretty crummy. But you can't compare those to what we are selling today. They don't even share any of the same parts. WE are coming out with a new heavy duty 6-speed automatic trans to go behind the diesels this fall that is going to be really good to.
