    NV4500 Swap Question

    I have an 02 Dodge Ram 3500 that I’ve been seriously thinking about putting an NV4500 in.

    It has the 47/RE in it now.

    I’m pretty sure it has 3.73 gears in it but don’t quote me on that.

    I’m not 100% sure off the top of my head what gears it has.

    Would it matter if I put an NV4500 swap in that was out of a truck that had (for example 4:11 gears or something like that, or would I have to find a tranny that came out of a truck with the same gearing?

    Any info would help me out.

    Won’t matter.

    The only differences I’ve seen in the research I’ve done on the 4500 is that some versions have like a 6.81:1 first gear ratio and other have a 5.75:1.

    Majority of the ones out there have 5.75:1. and no you don’t need one with the higher ratio.

    With the 4500 you only use first with a load on and going up hill on these trucks.
