Give Your 4WD Cummins The Transmission It Should Have Had From Day One

If you are still running the factory 47RE behind your 1996-1998 Ram 2500 or 3500 4WD, you already know it does not take much added torque to expose its weak spots. The BD Diesel Roadmaster Transmission and Converter Package is built to change that, giving your 5.9L Cummins a transmission that actually feels in control of the power it is putting down. From the moment you ease into the throttle, the upgraded valve body and increased line pressure deliver firmer, more confident shifts that reduce slip and heat. That means better durability when towing, hauling a bed full of gear, or just enjoying the low end grunt these trucks are known for. The included ProForce torque converter is designed to handle diesel torque without excessive deflection, so power transfer feels tighter and more direct. Additionally, the deep sump pan increases fluid capacity to help manage temperatures on long pulls or during slow off road crawling in 4WD. When you want your truck to feel dependable every time you put it in drive, this package brings the kind of strength and refinement that makes a real difference.

Precision Valve Body Calibration And Converter Strength For 47RE 4WD Applications

The BD Diesel 1064974SS Roadmaster package is engineered specifically for 1996-1998 Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 4WD models equipped with the 5.9L Cummins and 47RE transmission. Each unit is fully remanufactured and fitted with BD’s modified valve body, which incorporates an upgraded pressure transducer and PR valve to raise line pressure to approximately 200 psi. This increased hydraulic pressure improves clutch holding capacity and helps prevent premature wear under load. A custom separator plate and upgraded shift springs work together to eliminate shuttle shifting and deliver more consistent gear changes. Furthermore, the modified manual valve ensures proper lubrication in all gear positions, supporting internal component longevity during daily driving and demanding use. The ProForce torque converter features a cast aluminum stator, a billet steel piston to reduce flex, and a stamp forged steel front cover with furnace brazed turbine fins for added structural integrity. Supported by a 24 month parts warranty and 12 month labor coverage, this 47RE package is designed as a reliable upgrade for stock or mildly modified Cummins powered 4WD trucks.
