Product Description
The BD DIESEL 1064162SS TowMaster 47RE Transmission and Converter Package is a complete, dyno-tested transmission solution built to significantly increase drivetrain durability in your 1996–1997 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 5.9L Cummins 2WD. Designed for towing, street, and heavy-duty use, this package includes a matched transmission and torque converter combination that delivers stronger clutch holding power, improved shift control, and long-term reliability compared to a stock 47RE.
The TowMaster package includes an upgraded valve body and internal improvements to eliminate common factory weaknesses. Increased line pressure (190–200 psi), enhanced lubrication modifications, heavy-duty hardware upgrades, and BD’s aluminum finned transmission pan work together to keep temperatures down and clutch life up. This is the ideal choice for Cummins-powered trucks that work hard and need dependable shifting under load.
