FAQ
WILL THIS FIT MY 1989–2007 5.9L CUMMINS RAM?Yes—this OE drive plate covers most 5.9L automatic applications from 1989–2007. For early 1989–1993 trucks, confirm converter clearance and pattern by VIN/ESN.
WHICH TRANSMISSIONS DOES IT WORK WITH?Designed for 47RH/47RE/48RE automatics behind the 5.9L Cummins.
DOES THIS FIT MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS?No—manual setups use a flywheel, not a flexplate.
WHAT ARE THE PREDECESSOR PART NUMBERS?Common earlier numbers are 3908524, 3917607, and 3917784. Order by 3975464 for the current OE part.
SHOULD I REPLACE THE BOLTS?Best practice is to install new flexplate and converter bolts. OE bolt P/N 3908522 (or ARP 147-2901) is commonly used.
