First Gen Cummins 47RH Lockup Transmission Conversion + Ratchet Shifter Install 

It’s not a skid plate it’s a support bracket for the transfer case so all the weight isn’t hanging on your aluminum tail housing. A few good pot holes and you’ll have a reason to make some more content 😂

Love your vids, very informative!

Enjoyed this, super informative and to the point. Thanks bud

Well it's about time you posted a video lol , good content man

Catching up on your other videos... great content feller 👍👍👊

🙌🏻🙌🏻 thinking about wiring in a lockup switch on my 2g. This helps!

Ive found that the vibrant fittings are pretty good for not needing drilled out they make sure the fittings are as large as can be so theres no restrictions but i compared the vibrant fittings to the ones i have from i think amazon and the amazon ones are so restricted without being drilled i actually had a couple people come back so i could drill out their fittings because they bought their own parts and i installed them.. i use vibrant only but im in the states so i dont have the extra bullshit fees you guts get charged judt to buy something and have it shipped to you.. its ridiculous how much they charge you guys north of the border❤❤❤

You mention you are selling those mounts but I didn't see them on your website. I would love to buy one.

That’s a good looking trans cooler, what brand is it? My 3rd gen trans runs hot when towing uphill, I plan on deleting the heat exchanger and adding an additional trans cooler as well. I wonder if it should be installed before or after the factory cooler? Thanks for the video, Jim.

So I have a 97 4x4 3500, having issues with transmission going in an out of overdrive between 55-65, I’ve tried the bd diesel inline diode thing that didn’t help, any thoughts?

which outlaw shifter did you go with?

Hey man, am currently doing the same thing for my 1stgen. Is the lockup and over switch the only wires you run for the transmission. Because on the left side of the tranny there's a big old plug, did you just plug it? Or did you hook something up to it THNANKS!!

nice setup. can you tell me if you had to move your cross member back? did you use the factory holes? thx

Where do you get good transmission cooler lines?

Can you tell me how you fit the dipstick tube?

Where do I get the shifter cable for this ?

What you set tv too?

I know everyone all patting you on the back and stuff, so I'm sorry that I have to speak negatively. The way you decided to approach TC lock up along with OD via switches is the WORST way of doing it. YES, I know LOTS of people do it this way. But just because everyone else is doing it doesn't make it a good solution. When OD and TC lock up are on switches it makes the truck SUCH A PAIN in the ass to drive. And the number of times you WILL forget to unlock TC and stall the truck at a stop sign or light will drive you nuts. Or forget to unlock OD and try to take off......... same results. Fortunately, there's a better way of doing it. The 47RH is a mechanically governed trans just like the old school 727. And that governor has a roughly 1 to 1 pressure rate VS MPH (there is some variability of course) So at 35MPH the governor is producing +- 35PSI, at 25MPH - 25PSI, at 50MPH - 50PSI. You get the point. Simply Tee off the governor pressure check port to 2x HOBBS switches (PSI switches) 1x for TC lock up and 1x for OD command. Supply 12v+ and Gounds VIA the 2 Hobbs switches and you have a FULLY functional trans that you DONT have to babysit. And if you use adjustable Hobbs switches you can tune TC lockup and OD to your hearts content. And given the nature of Parallel circuits combined with Series circuits its STUPIDLY easy to automatically control TC Unlock and OD downshift. The last one I did was for a Cummins swapped Hummer H1. And I used a TV cable from a 700r4 off of the factory linkage to 2x pull switches (normally closed) The first switch tripped at +- 25% throttle. Which broke the TC lockup circuit. There is your TC unlock with throttle application. The second switch tripped at +- 45% throttle. Which broke the OD circuit. There is your OD down shift with throttle application. And I even installed a TOW/HAUL mode switch, which broke Both the TC and OD circuit's (TC unlocked, Max 3rd gear). In retrospect I could have just piggy backed off of the 47RHs TV cable bracket down on the trans. But it was a pain to reach at the time so it was easier to just build the kick down mechanisms off of the pumps bracketry........

Ha fkn pos!
