Hi Folks

I have a 5.7 Hemi that I am going to use for another project I have. I have seen a 45RFE with supposedly 140,000 Km transmission for sale close buy to me for $350 with the transfer case attached. I know I will have to change out the tail housing for a 2wd application.

I always thought I would go a 727/904 setup but I thought the 45RFE or 545RFE might be an easier install as this combo were mated together anyways. I will have no problem with clearance in the tunnel as it will be hopefully going in an early Dodge truck.

Being a good deal I thought I would pounce on this or would it be better with 727/904 or wait and pay extra and get a 545RFE. From what I have read the 45RFE will do the job
 
They are the same trans......you just need a software update to make a 45rfe trans into a 545rfe.
 
Yep same trans. The 65rfe is really the same trans also with a software change to use the 2nd gear kick down as a sixth gear in autostick mode.
