ATS 309-942-2308 48RE STG 4 PACKAGE FOR 06 DODGE RAM 2WD WITH 5.9L CUMMINS

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. Thats 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. 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.

Specifically designed for 2WD models, this package addresses the known weaknesses of the 48RE transmission, making it the strongest and most dependable component in your vehicle's drivetrain.

Engineered to handle heavy trailers, daily commutes, and high-horsepower demands, the Stage 4 Package focuses on key areas of improvement. The clutch packs are reinforced with increased clutch counts in critical areas such as Forward, Overdrive, and Overdrive Brake, enabling higher torque capacities for smooth power transmission. Utilizing premium Borg Warner and Raybestos clutches ensures durability, longevity, and optimal torque strength under various driving conditions.

Upgrades extend to the transmission's hard parts, where factory components like the sheet metal strut anchor and plastic accumulator piston are replaced with billet counterparts for enhanced strength and precision. The valve body undergoes extensive modifications to lock the torque converter in select gears, improve fluid circulation, and boost line pressure for improved shift quality and performance.

Choose between a towing or racing valve body to suit your driving needs. The towing option offers smooth, quick shifts ideal for everyday driving and towing applications. For a more aggressive performance build, the racing valve body ensures lightning-fast shifts and maximum power delivery, making it perfect for high-performance driving scenarios.

Included in the package are essential components such as a billet input shaft, billet flex plate, Commander lock-up controller, and performance clutch packs with added friction. The Stage 4 Auto Trans Package is complete with high-quality replacements and upgrades to optimize the transmission system's functionality and durability.

For owners of early 2006 Dodge Ram 2WD models, the Stage 4 Package offers a comprehensive solution to address transmission weaknesses and enhance overall performance.
