The DPC DRM1 is a remanufactured single disc, low stall torque converter for 1994-2007 Dodge 5.9L Cummins trucks equipped with the 47RH, 47RE, or 48RE transmission. It is rated to 950 lb-ft of torque and built with a billet front cover, oversized clutch, Torrington bearings, reinforced sprag, and a modified fluid coupling designed to increase lockup efficiency and lower stall speed. The DRM1 is best suited to stock and low-horsepower 5.9L builds where the goal is cleaner lockup and tighter response - not a high-output performance converter.

The DRM1 replaces old DPC part number DRV and is identified by a yellow cap.

Buy this if...

Your 1994-2007 5.9L Cummins runs a 47RH, 47RE, or 48RE and you want tighter lockup and lower stall on a stock or mildly modified build.
Your truck is at or under 950 lb-ft of torque and you want a billet-cover, oversized-clutch upgrade over the stock single disc converter.

Do not choose this if...

Your build exceeds 950 lb-ft - step up to the DPC D1300 low stall super single as the next step up.
You want a stock stall feel - the DRM1 is a low stall converter; verify this is the stall behavior you want before ordering.
You are not prepared to return the old core within 30 days - the core charge will not be refunded if the window is missed.

Verify before ordering...

Transmission: 47RH (1994-1995), 47RE (1996-2002), or 48RE (2003-2007) - all three are confirmed fitments.
Torque output is at or under 950 lb-ft - this is the medium-duty ceiling, not a conservative estimate.

Is the DRM1 the Right Converter for Your Build?

The DRM1 is DPC's entry-level remanufactured converter for the 1994-2007 5.9L Cummins - built for stock to mildly modified daily drivers and tow rigs where the factory converter slips under load or lacks clean lockup response. The oversized clutch and modified fluid coupling address the slip and inefficiency of the stock unit at the same single-disc duty level, without stepping into the higher clutch surface area of a triple disc build. If your truck is stock or running a mild tune and your goal is cleaner, more responsive lockup during towing or highway driving, the DRM1 is the correct converter to order.

Buyers comparing the DRM1 vs the DPC super single or triple disc options should choose the DRM1 only when torque output is under 950 lb-ft and low stall is the right behavior for the build. The natural next step for a low stall build outgrowing the DRM1 is the D1300 low stall super single - more clutch capacity, same stall character. The full DPC lineup for this platform is in the comparison table below.

Torque Rating: Up to 950 lb-ft

Warranty: 1-year

Stall: Low stall

DRM1 Fitment - 5.9L Cummins Coverage

The DRM1 fits 1994-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 5.9L Cummins applications with the 47RH, 47RE, or 48RE automatic transmission.

1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins (47RH / 47RE)
1994-2002 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9L Cummins (47RH / 47RE)
2003-2007 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins (48RE - select trims and years; see fitment data)
2003-2007 Dodge Ram 3500 5.9L Cummins (48RE)

This converter is not confirmed for 2007.5 and newer 6.7L Cummins applications with the 68RFE. Verify your transmission type before ordering.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

Ordering based on a future power target - rate the DRM1 against your current torque output, not what you plan to make. The 950 lb-ft ceiling is the limit.
Missing the 30-day core return window - the core charge will not be refunded if the core is not received within 30 days. Have a return plan ready before the new converter arrives.
Assuming this fits the 68RFE - the DRM1 is for the 47RH, 47RE, and 48RE only. The 2007.5+ Cummins with the 68RFE requires a different converter.
Confusing low stall with stock stall - the DRM1 stalls lower than factory, which tightens response under load but changes how the truck launches compared to a stock stall converter. Confirm low stall is the right choice for your application before ordering.

950 lb-ft Is the Ceiling:
The DRM1 is not recommended for trucks over 950 lb-ft of torque. If your build is at or approaching that level, order the DPC triple disc or quad disc converter instead.

For a stock to mildly modified 1994-2007 5.9L Cummins daily driver or tow rig running under 950 lb-ft with a 47RE or 48RE, the DPC DRM1 is the single disc low stall converter to order - tighter lockup, billet cover, and oversized clutch in a remanufactured unit backed by a 1-year warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click or tap any question below to open the answer.

Will the DPC DRM1 fit my 2003-2007 5.9L Cummins with a 48RE?

Yes - the DRM1 is confirmed for the 2003-2007 Dodge Ram 5.9L Cummins with the 48RE transmission. It also fits the 1994-2002 47RH and 47RE applications. Confirm your year, transmission type, and torque level are at or under 950 lb-ft before ordering.

What is the difference between the DPC DRM1 and the DPC triple disc converter?

The DRM1 is a single disc remanufactured converter rated to 950 lb-ft with a 1-year warranty - suited to stock and low-horsepower 5.9L builds. For a low stall build that needs more capacity, the direct next step is the D1300 low stall super single. Further up the ladder are the DRM3 triple disc (low stall, 2-year warranty) and the DRM3SS (stock stall). The full lineup is in the comparison table above.

My 5.9L Cummins is slipping under load - will the DRM1 fix it?

If your 47RE or 48RE is slipping at the converter - not inside the transmission - and your build is under 950 lb-ft, the DRM1 is a commonly ordered replacement for that condition. The oversized clutch and modified fluid coupling are designed to improve lockup clamping force compared to the stock single disc unit. If the slip is coming from inside the transmission rather than the converter, replacing the converter alone may not resolve the issue - confirm the source of the slip before ordering.

What is the core charge policy on the DPC DRM1?

A core charge applies to this converter. The old core must be returned within 30 days of receiving the new converter to receive a full refund to the original payment method. The customer is responsible for all return shipping costs. Have your return plan in place before the new unit arrives.

Does the DPC DRM1 replace the old DPC part number DRV?

Yes - the DRM1 is the current part number and directly replaces the old DPC part number DRV. If you previously ordered a DRV for your 1994-2007 5.9L Cummins 47RH/47RE/48RE application, the DRM1 is the correct replacement to order.

Is the DRM1 good for towing with a 5.9L Cummins?

Yes - the DRM1 low stall design is suited to towing applications on stock and mildly modified 5.9L Cummins trucks where you want the converter to lock up sooner and more firmly under load. The lower stall speed pulls the engine into its torque range faster from a stop or under trailer load, reducing slip heat and improving towing response. Keep torque output under 950 lb-ft for this converter.
