Ok guys I need to know what the difference is and is it possible to put a 48re in a 2001 Dodge diesel? What all would I have to do? Can I take the internals out of the 48re and install them in my 47re?

Lots of 48RE valve bodys in 2nd Gen trucks.

Ok what would I have to do to make it work in my truck? May just pull the guts and stuff in my trans.

The VB is different but can be used in a 47, the 3rd gear drum holds and extra clutch, but I believe you'll need a cut apply plate to run six frictions instead of 5.

Contact Dave Goerend he'll give you the information you're looking for.

The 48 RE also has the 6 pinion planets, and depending on the year has more OD clutches. Yes you can put the guts from a 48 into a 47 case---fits like a glove. And as mentioned, has one more clutch in the direct drum.

It is a 2006 transmission. Waiting to see what shipping will cost me for it.

Mcmopar

Cool, if you don't mind me asking--what did you pay for it??

Dazed&Confused

$1800 if shipping is not rediculous. I cant find any 47re 4x4 cores to rebuild so this would give me everything I need.

So, will they interchange both directions? Same case? 47RE with 48RE VB into 3rd Gen?
