I have read about another brand (forgot the name) on a diesel forum.Īnyone out there with more miles had trouble with the stock 48RE.Īnyone think a transmission upgrade is a must.Īnyone believes I am fine without any MODS. I know Banks offers the bigger better torque converter. I have read a bit on the ATS purple monster for about $5k. GM guy with Allison can’t have much to tell me. I hope to hear from people who own or did own Dodge automatics. I have read conflicting opinions concerning Dodge transmissions. From what I understand the 47RE is the stock trans in 01. Soon after we upgraded truck & RV, the trans in the old truck bit the bullet. Our last truck was a 01 Dodge 1500 gasser which we towed a lightweight 24’ Cougar fiver. About 12,000 of which were towing our 14k# RV. Our truck will be 4 years old in Jan of 2010 and has 38,000 miles. Have a 06 Dodge 3500 DRW Automatic 4x4 Jacobs EB Topic: Confused about the Dodge 48RE transmission RV.Net Open Roads Forum: Tow Vehicles: Confused about the Dodge 48RE transmission Open Roads Forum
