Which 46RE do you have?

46RE vs 47RE

The 47RE (A618) is a heavier-duty version of the 46RE, used behind the Cummins diesel and the V10 in Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. A gas V8 truck takes the 46RE.

5.2L trucks: 46RE or 44RE?

Wikipedia lists V8 Ram 1500s as 46RE, but also places the lighter A500 family (42RE, 44RE) behind the 5.2L. Hollander gives the 5.2L and 5.9L automatics different numbers. If your truck has the 5.2L, the VIN settles which one it has.

One number across Ram 1500 and 2500

Hollander gives the 2001 Ram 1500 5.9L and the 2001 Ram 2500 5.9L gasoline automatic the same interchange number for each drive. The Durango, Dakota and Grand Cherokee 5.9L units have their own numbers.

Same family is not the same part. Engines and transmissions in one family can differ in electronics, mounts and accessories. The supplier confirms fit with your VIN before you buy.

Check before you buy a used 46RE

  • Gas or diesel? Gas V8 Rams use the 46RE. Cummins diesel and V10 Ram 2500 and 3500 automatics use the heavier 47RE.
  • Which V8? Hollander gives the 5.2L and the 5.9L automatics different numbers, so tell the supplier the engine as well as the model.
  • Match the drive. Used-yard listings split the 46RE by 2WD and 4WD.
  • Get mileage, testing and warranty in writing. Ask for the donor vehicle's mileage, how the transmission was checked, the warranty term and the freight cost to your ZIP before you pay.

Rows come from Wikipedia's A518 (46RH/46RE) list. Hollander's yard catalog lists a 5.9L automatic for each of these vehicles but never names the model, so it confirms the vehicle and engine, not the transmission code. Wikipedia also lists earlier 46RH trucks and vans. Always confirm by VIN.

46RE questions

How much does a used 46RE transmission cost?

Used-yard asking prices for a 46RE typically ran $848 to $3,177 on October 22, 2026. That range runs from the lowest version's 25th percentile to the highest version's 75th percentile, across 4 versions (265 priced listings). Prices vary by version, mileage and shipping, so the supplier quotes your exact part.

Is a 46RE the same as a 47RE?

No. The 47RE is a heavier-duty version built for the Cummins diesel and the V10. A gas V8 truck takes the 46RE.

Does my Ram 1500 have a 46RE?

Wikipedia lists the 46RE in 1996–2001 V8 Ram 1500s and in 5.9L trucks through early 2003. A 5.2L truck may have a lighter 44RE, so the VIN settles it.

Does the Durango use the 46RE?

Wikipedia lists it in 1998–2003 Durangos with the 5.9L V8, 2WD or 4WD.
