Motor Diesel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 48RE transmission is the weakest point on a Dodge Cummins truck. Not only do they fail on trucks with minor upgrades, but even trucks in stock form have been known to be too powerful. A heavy duty truck needs parts which can stand up to heavy trailers, stop-and-go commutes to work, or high-horsepower applications. Thats why ATS modifies the transmission to make it the strongest and most reliable part of your drivetrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the many shortcomings of the 48RE, none are more important than the clutch packs. This is what takes the power load and transmits it to the rear wheels. We increase the clutch count in the Forward, Overdrive, and Overdrive Brake clutch packs which allow much higher torque capacity in each gear. Clutch material is also essential which is why we use Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches which has both high torque strength as well as longevity and reliability. Another important aspect is the hard parts on the transmission. The factory sheet metal strut anchor is replaced with a much stronger billet strut anchor, allowing more precision application of the band. Along with the factory plastic accumulator piston is replaced with a billet unit as well. The apply lever is a 1:5.0 ratio apply arm, which applies the borg warner red lining band. This band features a performance friction material capable of holding higher power levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe valve body receives extensive modifications as well. We give the valve body the ability to lock the torque converter in 1st and 2nd gear, circulate transmission fluid in park\/reverse\/neutral, machine the TV valve passage and install our proprietary TV valve sleeve, and increase line pressure. You can choose between a towing or a racing valve body. The towing version will deliver smooth, quick, crisp shifts that enhance the drivability and operation of your transmission on the street and attached to a trailer. This is the valve body of choice for a street driven all-purpose truck. The race valve body is our hardcore power build. It is made to sacrifice as little time as possible between shifts, shift hard and fast, and leave nothing behind. It is a very aggressive valve body and a minimum of billet input shaft and flex plate are recommended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS billet input shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommander lock-up controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew performance forward clutch pack and steels with 1 added friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew performance direct clutch pack and steels with 1 added friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew performance overdrive brake clutch pack and steels with 1 added friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew performance overdrive clutch pack and steels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow\/reverse band replaced with Borg Warner Red Lining performance band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermediate\/2nd gear band replaced with Borg Warner Red Lining performance band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:5.0 band apply lever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet Band strut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBillet accumulator piston\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined forward pressure plate (machined step)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined lower forward pressure plate (machined flat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision machined overdrive brake pressure plate (machined flat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew direct pressure plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerformance low\/reverse one-way clutch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined TV valve sleeve (prevents sticking TV valve)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to achieve 1st and 2nd gear lockup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to circulate fluid to the torque converter in park\/reverse\/neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncrease line pressure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImprove shift quality and firmness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGasket and seal overhaul kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBearings and bushing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2004.5-05 Dodge Ram 2WD Stage 3 Auto Trans Package Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS Built 48-RE Auto Trans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS 5 Star Viskus Clutch Drive Torque Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS Extra Deep Transmission Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS Billet Input Shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eATS CoPilot Torque Converter Lock-Up Controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"ATS Diesel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48623091777809,"sku":"ATS-309-932-2290","price":6554.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0477\/1089\/files\/309-932-2290-FSMF.jpg?v=1711934659","url":"https:\/\/gautoparts.com\/products\/ats-diesel-309-932-2290-48re-stage-3-package-2004-5-05-dodge-2wd-w-t-v-motor-diesel","provider":"Guaranteed Auto Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
