Technical Bulletin #40742RE, 46RE, 47RE, 48RE, 47RH, 48RH - Cooler Line Fitting

Proper installation of cooler line fittings for all RE/RH Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep vehicles.

Procedure:

1. When reusing old cooler line fittings liquid Teflon is preferred over a tape. (New fittings should come with seal and applied)

2. When installing the cooler line fittings to case NO MORE than 13 ft. lbs. should be applied or case damage will occur resulting in a voided warranty.

Technical Bulletin #40842RE, 42RH, 46RE, 46RH, 47RE, 48RE Transmission Failure after Installation

A restricted Auxiliary Transmission Cooler could be the cause of this issue. This could be overlooked during the flushing process because of a bypass tube that connects the two cooler lines together. It may appear that the Auxiliary Transmission Cooler has been cleared, when in actuality it has not.

Procedure: When installing a remanufactured transmission prior to flushing the transmission cooler lines, if the vehicle is equipped with an external transmission cooler it must be replaced.  Failure to do so will void your warranty.
