Here's the data plate, FWIW...

I know it isn't cheap, but I would advocate for getting it rebuilt. Better safe than sorry IMHO. My ZF has about 50K on it; it was rebuilt before going into the truck, and still shifts and feels like new

the F450 one is a 42.
the other is still an unknown due to the stamping on the plate being unreadable.
actually looks like it was printed not stamped.
unidentifiable with this means.

Your gunna want all the beef you can get haha!
Mine loves reverse ( of course its only got 39k on it.)

rule of thumb.....
exposed clutch slave.....S42
clutch slave internal in the trans.....s47

^ sure about that?
I thought that was gassers and the zf6.
My 94 and my brothers 96 are both external.

Every picture of every diesel S5-47 I've seen shows an external fork. It's the same slave; I've never seen a listing for an internal slave for a diesel application on RockAuto, etc.

 

[towcat]

this is an S47

 

[cpdenton]

this is an S47

Interesting. My zf 5s-47 has the external slave. That picture you have doesn't seem the have the same bolt pattern as our engines too. Looks an awful lot like a small block zf to me.

Pic is waaay too small (and it's not a link), but it's irrelevant whether it's an S5-47 or an S5-42. Is it a GASSER or DIESEL transmission?
