Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1030416 Valve Body Exchange is a performance-engineered replacement valve body designed for 1996–1998 Dodge Ram trucks equipped with the 5.9L 12-valve Cummins and the 47RE automatic transmission. This BD-built valve body corrects common factory shortcomings by improving shift timing, increasing line pressure where needed, and enhancing clutch holding power for improved transmission durability.
Each valve body is fully reworked by BD Diesel to provide firmer, more positive shifts without sacrificing drivability. The recalibrated hydraulic circuits help reduce heat, minimize clutch slippage, and extend transmission life — especially important for towing, work trucks, and modified engines. This is an exchange unit; a rebuildable core is required.
