47RE Pressure Control Solenoid 2000, new and ready to install. Fits the 47RE. Ships fast from the USA.
If your 2000-2002 Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 5.9L Cummins or 8.0L V10 and the 47RE has started taking off in second, shifting erratically, or throwing governor pressure codes, this is the complete parts list for that repair in one box. It is listed as a pressure control solenoid, but on this transmission the job is done by the governor pressure solenoid, and this kit includes it along with the sensor and the parts you need to open the pan once. Contents: a heavy-duty governor pressure solenoid (OE 4617210), the late-style governor pressure sensor (OE 56028196AD), an output speed sensor (OE 4800879), a transmission filter (OE 52118789), a cork-and-rubber pan gasket (OE 2464324) and a governor solenoid housing gasket (OE 4886333AA).
The 47RE still shifts first through third with hydraulics. Governor pressure pushes the 1-2 and 2-3 shift valves up, throttle pressure pushes back, and the shift happens when governor pressure wins. The PCM builds that governor pressure electronically: it duty-cycles the solenoid, which bleeds line pressure down, and reads the result through the governor pressure sensor so it can correct itself. Above roughly 40 mph it turns the solenoid off and lets full pressure hold the valves in the upshifted position. The output speed sensor is not a passenger in this system. The PCM will not run governor control without its road-speed signal, which is why this kit replaces all three electrical pieces together.
Scan for codes and look at desired versus actual governor pressure while driving. Then put a 0-100 psi gauge on the governor pressure port. In Park, Reverse and Neutral, and stopped in Drive, governor pressure should be zero; pressure at a stop means the solenoid is not bleeding off or the governor body is warped and cross-leaking. If the gauge follows the command but the scan tool shows something different, the sensor is lying. Check the transmission harness for rubbing near the solenoid pack before blaming parts. Our 47RE pressure solenoid symptoms guide lays out the gauge test, and 47RE common problems and fixes covers the other faults that mimic it.
This kit is listed for 2000 and later A518 (46RE) and A618 (47RE) units in Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep applications. For the 47RE that is the 2000-2002 Ram 2500 and 3500. The year split is real: Chrysler changed the governor pressure sensor for 2000, from the earlier metal sensor with an oval connector to a rectangular plastic-bodied sensor, and this kit carries the late 56028196AD sensor. Rebuilt and swapped transmissions do not always match the truck's model year, so drop the pan and compare your sensor before ordering, or send us your year and VIN. If yours has the oval-plug sensor, you need a 1996-1999 kit instead. Everything else for this unit is in our 47RE parts collection.

Doing this repair right usually means replacing these at the same time. Same transmission, ships together.
Not as a direct swap. This kit carries the 2000-up rectangular governor pressure sensor. 1996-1999 trucks use the earlier oval-plug sensor unless the transmission has been changed, so check under the pan.
Six parts: governor pressure solenoid (OE 4617210), governor pressure sensor (OE 56028196AD), output speed sensor (OE 4800879), filter (OE 52118789), cork-and-rubber pan gasket (OE 2464324) and governor solenoid housing gasket (OE 4886333AA).
The PCM needs the output speed signal to run governor pressure control. A weak sensor causes shift complaints that look like a governor problem, and it is cheap to replace while the fluid is out.
No programming is needed. Clear codes and drive through several full stops so the PCM resets its governor sensor zero.
ATF+4 only. Check the level hot with the engine running in neutral after the install and road test.
