Don't have the trans in hand yet, but it is out of a 97 ram.
How did they fit the 46RE in the R/T? Can't believe the underside
of that truck is that different from a regular Dak.
Also the durangos come with either 5.2L/44RE or
5.9L/46RE combo. This should be interesting.
Wasn't planing on installing until spring, might have work done on it.
My brother-in-law has a 2500 ram with a 46RE, think I'll stop bye
and take some measurements. I'll let you know.
