Product Description
The ATS 314-752-2104 Billet Band Strut is a critical upgrade for 1996-2007 5.9L Cummins trucks equipped with 47RE or 48RE transmissions. Designed to replace the weak factory stamped strut, this billet component provides increased strength and durability under high load and performance conditions.
The factory band strut is a known failure point in high-torque applications, especially in towing or modified trucks. ATS solves this issue with a precision-machined billet strut that resists bending and deformation, ensuring consistent band apply pressure and improved transmission reliability.
Whether you're building a performance transmission or reinforcing your drivetrain for heavy towing, this upgrade helps prevent costly transmission damage and maintains proper band operation under extreme conditions.
FAQ
Q: What does a billet band strut do?
A: It supports the transmission band during apply. A stronger billet strut prevents flexing or failure, ensuring proper band engagement.
Q: Why upgrade from the factory strut?
A: The factory strut can bend or fail under high torque. A billet version provides significantly improved strength and reliability.
Q: Is this necessary for performance builds?
A: Yes, it is highly recommended for upgraded or heavy-duty transmissions to prevent band-related failures.
Q: Will this help with towing durability?
A: Absolutely. It strengthens a known weak point, making it ideal for towing and heavy load applications.
