Time to upgrade the transmission
It was rated for 400 foot pounds of torque( Factory stock motor is rated 400) 472 to the tires on the 1-2 shift.with the 16cm housing on the H1C turbo pushing 17psi .(took hafe way through 2nd gearr to max boost) Now I have a HX35W/ 12 hitting 20psi(stock fuel) now only takes ~ hafe way through 1st gear to max . That lasted about 2.5 weeks . The trans wet the bed. 2 days after the new to me turbo, I started hearing a planitary(i think) making a worbling noise very faint. Then 2 weeks later on the return leg of a test trip to Oklahoma city, OK from Greenville, Tx ~100 mi from the house it started grawling. 45mi later it stoped . A mpg query requires minimum of 100 mi (or 4ga witch ever comes last,eg 100mpg = 400mi test) in my book or it is just noise, not data.

Options
Stock46rh is rated for 400TQ(oem trans) 2.44:1 final
Studing has shown me the transmission was at its maximum power holding capability from the factory, the two later versions below are the same for their respective Motors the 3rd gen HO 48reakes 610TQ with all accessories on otherwise the computer derates the motor back to the torque limit of 570
47re/h 450TQ 94-2002 2.44:1
48re 570TQ 2003-2007 2.44:1
Both require sorcing a stock starter , tv cable,and adapror from the respective motor 96mph max
Allison
4 speed 545 drop in with spair parts from a 5.9 Cumins med. duity box van 3.55:1 finale
5speed 1000same + stand alone TCM. 2.66
Both Allisons will need the US gear brownie reconfigured to Overdrive to be able to achieve what I am able accomplish with the Dodge trans.
All can be beefed up to over 1000HP ratingfor a extra cost rebuld.
Coments consurns?
