The 518 also states lock up.Well the Dakota tag with the 46 RH does state it has a lock up tq
The 518 also states lock up.
Neither will bolt up to the 440. There are adapters out there, don't know about current availability.1 will be for my 68 Barracuda with a mild 360 ( 360 hp ) and the other is for my 78 Dodge RV C-Class with a 440 and 4.10s.
Which one is best for each application ?

These are just the two different numbering systems used for the same transmissions. The 518 number was based on the old number, like 904, 727, 500, 518, etc. The new numbering system related more to the intended use, so an A500 was now a 42RH and an A518 became a 46RH, but with the V10 and diesel engines they also added the 47 and 48 torque ratings. In the new numbers you can tell the first digit 4 meant four gears, the second digit 6 was the torque classification, the third digit R was for rear output, and the fourth digit H was for hydraulic controlled. Once it went to PCM controlled shifting by manipulating the governor pressure with a solenoid they just changed out the forth digit H for an E.
The 94 model was near the changeover in names, so clearly one got the name and one did not, just by chance how manufacturing changes take place. They are basically the same transmissions, and will take the same components during a rebuild.
Same transmission. There are 2 series transmissions. A 46RH (hydraulic control) and a 46RE (electronic control ie computer) change over was mid 90s. Look for a big electrical connector to indicate a 46RE.
A518 and 46RH are basically exactly the same. 518 is hydraulically commanded. RH, the H stands for Hydraulic. Guess what? Hydraulically controlled. All of these feature lock up convertors. As Valiant said, 96 ish they went RE. E is Electronically controlled. If they are 2WD, snag em!!! Hard to find! Even if they're 4WD, still have value.
I understand that they went to electronic control around 95ish but why do ther refer to one as a 518 and the other as a 46RH when both are 1994 vehicles ? It could be possible that the van plant still used the old 518 jargon I suppose
I bought this converter for the 46rh I am building to put in my Travco MH behind a 440.1 will be for my 68 Barracuda with a mild 360 ( 360 hp ) and the other is for my 78 Dodge RV C-Class with a 440 and 4.10s.

How is your build progressing? Is that a lockup converter?I bought this converter for the 46rh I am building to put in my Travco MH behind a 440.

Thanks for the clarification. What were the applications?I don't know if the correction was already stated, but not all 518 were lockup.
