Why Buy from CPP Diesel

• Second-Gen Focus: We separate 47RH (1994–1995) and 47RE (1996–1998) solutions and call out year-specific parts.
• Matched Packages: Transmission + converter kits dyno-tested together for towing reliability.
• Cooling & Filtration: Deep pans, coolers, and inline filters to manage heat and debris.
• Manual Expertise: Proper clutch/hydraulic pairings for stock to multi-disc power builds.

Monitor temps with GAUGES / RELATED, and keep engine temps in check via COOLING SYSTEM.

Helpful Notes

• Year split: 47RH is hydraulic (’94–’95); 47RE adds electronic control (’96–’98). Match parts accordingly.
• Converter choice: Lower stall aids towing and EGT control; performance builds may prefer higher stall with stronger lock-up.
• Heat kills: Add capacity (deep pan), airflow (aux cooler), and filtration during towing or heavy use.
• NV4500 tips: Follow your clutch maker’s break-in procedure (typically several hundred miles of moderate use).
• Transfer case ID: NP241DLD vs DHD varies by GVWR/axle—verify tag and spline counts before ordering chains/bearings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between 47RH and 47RE on 1994–1998 trucks?

47RH (’94–’95) is hydraulically controlled; 47RE (’96–’98) uses electronic governor control. Use year-specific valve bodies and electronics when upgrading.

Best first upgrades for a working 47RE?

A quality valve body, a strong converter, extra cooling (Mishimoto cooler) and deep pan extend life under load.

Do you offer complete 47RH/47RE transmissions?

Yes—see Automatic Transmission for BD/ATS/SunCoast packages matched with converters and auxiliary filtration.

Manual NV4500: which clutch should I pick?

For stock to mild power, an organic single disc (e.g., Valair OEM replacement). For tuned/towing or compounds, consider South Bend duals. Pair with fresh hydraulics like Dorman CC649029.

Which transfer case parts fit my 12-valve?

Most 1994–1998 2500/3500s use NP241DLD/DHD. Shop the Transfer Case / Related hub for chains, bearings, and small parts (e.g., NP241D chain).
