Trying to find the dodge part number for the input seal (where the torque converter goes into the pump) seal on a 71 727.

Lets just say the guys at our local dodge dealer are not very motivated.

Thanks

Do you not have an auto parts store local ? Also why don't they just get you the seal for say a 2000 1500 with a 46RE , same seal .

Or are they too stupid to find anything without a VIN ?

National # is 331227H

Yes they are too stupid, and no there is no parts store in this town.

Thanks for the tip on the application

Local transmission shop will have it. The 727 has used the same seal for a loooooong time.

Well, yes and no. The original Torqueflite seals were made from silicon rubber, and most were orange. Works OK, but silicone doesn't take the heat and abrasion as well as the later seals used in the 46/47/48REs. They use a different material, Viton usually, which will take a ton of heat and abuse. They are the same size and will interchange, but I would go for the later seal if possible.

There is no local transmission shop either, hence the dilema.

All solved now.

Gave the newer application to the dodge store , as per johnrr. Got the newer seal easy then. They knew the number for that one off the top of thier heads.

I like that the newer seal also had a lip on the metal part so it couldn't be installed wrong, depth wise. Just tap it in, and it's all good.

Started the R and R at 3. Drove it home at 6.

Thanks again Moparts. Awesome, as always

Most up to date pic. This one has Some door art. "Danforth Cartage" was my Grand Dad's trucking company. The truck has no tie to him. I just figured if I was going to letter up a truck old school, then I might as well do it with something that was Real.
