ATS 309-914-2290 48RE STG 1 PACKAGE W/ T.V. MOTOR FOR 04.5-07 DODGE RAM 4X4 WITH 5.9L CUMMINS 24V

The 48RE transmission is the weakest point on a Dodge Cumminstruck. 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.

That's why ATS modifies the transmission to make it the strongest and most reliable part of your drivetrain. With 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. The 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. 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. It is a very aggressive valve body and a minimum of billet input shaft and flex plate are recommended.

Enhance the performance and durability of your Dodge Cummins truck with the ATS 309-914-2290 48RE Stage 1 Package 4WD with T.V. Motor. Built specifically for 2004.5-2007 Cummins 5.9L 24V trucks, this transmission upgrade is designed to address the weaknesses of the stock 48RE transmission, making it stronger and more reliable.

The key to the ATS Stage 1 Package lies in the modifications made to the clutch packs. By increasing the clutch count in the Forward, Overdrive, and Overdrive Brake clutch packs, this upgrade significantly boosts the torque capacity in each gear. Utilizing Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches, renowned for their high torque strength and durability, ensures long-lasting performance under heavy loads.

Moreover, hard parts such as the billet strut anchor and billet accumulator piston replace factory components to provide enhanced strength and precision application within the transmission. The valve body undergoes extensive modifications to improve functionality, including the ability to lock the torque converter in lower gears, circulate fluid effectively, and increase line pressure for smoother, crisper shifts.

This comprehensive Stage 1 Package includes an ATS-built 48RE Auto Trans, a 5 Star Viskus Clutch Drive Torque Converter, and an Extra Deep Transmission Pan for added cooling capacity. With features like improved clutch packs, upgraded bands, and a machined TV valve sleeve, this kit offers superior shift quality and firmness, making it ideal for street driving and towing applications.
