I have read enough about mopar trans failures in recent years that I'm not about to try and save $40 on ATF and then risk a $1500 rebuild. But that's just me!

since i do my own rebuilds and it costs about 300 for a kit for a 47RE i'll take my chances .

the trans failures are CREATED by DCX , once pickups became the yuppie vehicle of choice the complaints started coming in about how harsh the trans ' engaged into gear , DCX's answer ? LOWER the line pressure , if they spent a little more time they could have taken out the harshness and not had issues with SMOKED trannys .

they finally did wake up on the 48RE and used many of the fixes the aftermarket did to get the trans to live behind a hi torque diesel motor .

edit .. oh and i'm not saying that dexII is the answer for all nor is + atf the antichrist , there is just alot of misinformation and SCARE TACTICS roaming around .
