I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L V8 Quad Cab 4x4 Magnum.

Where do I find the transmission model? I could not find it written on the transmission pan.

Does any one have a torque specs for adjusting the front (outside) band and the rear (inside the transmission pan cover) band?

Thanks.

For which transmission is this band torque specs?

I would like to make sure that I'm dealing the right band torque specs for my vehicle.

I have a code for my Transmission from the sticker attached on front of the engine near the radiator.

Code # Description
DGB Std Duty 4Spd Auto Trans

I have subscribed to www.alldatadiy.com and I have this code for the transmission and what those code means.


Transmission Codes

* DGP = 4-speed Automatic (47RE)
* DGT = 4-speed Automatic (46RE)
* DGK = 4-speed Automatic (42RE)
* DDP = 5-speed Manual (NVG-4500)
* DDX = 5-speed Manual (NVG-4500 Heavy Duty)
* DDC = 5-speed Manual (NVG-3500)
* DEE = 6-speed Manual (NVG-5600)

However, I can't find DGB from the list.

I called Dodge customer service and could not give me the answer. I was referred to call in 5 Dodge Dealerships. One dealership told me that my transmission is an M30 type. 4 Dealerships told me that it should be 46RE. I have already dropped the transmission pan and ready to adjust the rear band. The rear band adjustment screw is not a hex screw but square and none of my sockets would work. It seems that an 8mm open end wrench would work but there is no way to use the torque to hold the open end wrench. I was thinking of using a 8mm crow foot but I only have a 10mm crow foot. I was thinking of using a gator grip socket but it is too long. I'm too far away from any autoparts store. I wish I have known in advance that the rear band adjustment screw is not a hex type screw but instead it is a square. The service manual shows a hex type adjustment screw but mine is a square one. I need my vehicle tomorrow. I'll just adjust it next time and put back the pan back in and fill it with the ATF +4.

With the last 9 digits of your VIN, I should be able to help..
