ATS 309-924-2290 48RE STG 2 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 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.

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.

The ATS 309-924-2290 48RE Stage 2 Package is a powerhouse upgrade for your 2004.5-2007 Cummins 5.9L 24V 24V truck. Designed to address the common weak spots of the 48RE transmission, this package is tailored to handle the demands of heavy trailers, daily commutes, or high-horsepower setups with ease.

ATS focuses on enhancing the clutch packs, a critical component in power transmission. By increasing the clutch count in key areas like Forward, Overdrive, and Overdrive Brake, this package significantly boosts torque capacity in every gear. The utilization of top-quality Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches ensures both high torque strength and long-term reliability.

In addition to reinforcing the clutch system, the ATS package includes upgraded hard parts such as a billet strut anchor and a billet accumulator piston, replacing weaker factory components for improved durability. The 1:5.0 ratio apply arm, along with the performance-focused Borg Warner Red Lining band, contributes to higher power retention and smoother shifts.

The valve body modifications play a crucial role in optimizing transmission performance. Features like torque converter lockup in 1st and 2nd gear, fluid circulation enhancements, and increased line pressure elevate the overall efficiency and responsiveness of the transmission.

With components like the ATS billet input shaft, 5 Star Viskus Clutch Drive Torque Converter, and Extra Deep Transmission Pan, this package not only strengthens but also enhances the drivability of your vehicle. Whether it's for street driving or towing heavy loads, the ATS 309-924-2290 48RE Stage 2 Package delivers reliable performance and smooth operation, making it the ideal choice for your Cummins-powered Dodge truck.
